Since
1986, OVERSEAS BRATS has been helping us reunite with old friends.
Of the over 100 overseas elementary, junior high, high school and
colleges...32 have expressed interest or signed up for this event.
Zaragoza High School is one of those schools!!!
Why
Wichita??? Why July 2001???
The American Overseas Schools Historical Society (AOSHS) is creating
a Historical Park in Wichita that will celebrate our unique heritage!
The site dedication is to be held on Saturday, July 21, 2001.
This Historical Park will become like another "home"
for us because eventually it will house a museum, archive, and
a visitor's center that will tell OUR story to the world -- that
of who WE ARE!
In
order to assist them, OVERSEAS BRATS is contributing the following
from Homecoming 2001:
- A
portion of each person's registration fee.
- A
portion of each raffle ticket sold.
- When
a VISA, MasterCard, Discover or American Express credit card
is used for any Homecoming 2001 or OVERSEAS BRATS purchase,
AOSHS will receive 3%.
Homecoming
2001 Overview
Homecoming 2001 could be well-attended given the number of responses
already received, the number of alumni groups/overseas schools
planning activities at the event, and the AOSHS Site Dedication.
It's possible the number of attendees could match or exceed the
1,612 who came to Homecoming '99.
There
is no hotel in Wichita that can accommodate nor feed everyone.
So in order to serve Homecoming 2001 participants, five hotels
will be used for this event. These include The Broadview Hotel,
The Clarion Hotel, The Airport Hilton, The Holiday Inn Select,
and The Marriott .
Zaragoza
High School alumni should make reservations at the Broadview Hotel
Banquet functions will be held in Wichita's Century II Convention Center. Since the five hotels are beyond walking distance of each other (except The Broadview and the Hyatt Regency) and all but The Broadview and Hyatt Regency require transportation to Century II and other Homecoming 2001 activities and AOSHS events, courtesy bus shuttle service will be provided those registered with OVERSEAS BRATS for Homecoming 2001.
