SAUDI ARAMCO ANNUITANTS 27 th REUNION Ahlan Wa Sahlan to ORLANDO HAFLA 2010 Dear Fellow Annuitants & Friends, October 1 4, 2010 You and your families and friends are cordially invited to attend the 27 th Annuitants Reunion at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando, Florida. Saudi Aramco Hafla means a friendly gathering, a bash, a family get-together. Although there are so many outside activities and amusements in the Orlando area that can lure you away from the Reunion I would like the laughter, hugs, reminiscing and renewing old and making new friendships to be the highlight of your stay. The Orlando World Center Marriott is a five-star resort with amenities where you can relax in style. See www.marriottworldcenter.com. If you wish to enjoy the other amusements in the area you can extend your hotel stay at the Reunion rates for three days prior and/or three days after the Reunion. The main events at the Reunion will be three nightly banquets with musical entertainment for your enjoyment. The esteemed Speakers from the Company will talk about topics of interests to us. In addition, I have planned an array of activities such as Golf, Tennis and Bridge Tournaments. Also, there will be a Sidelines/Exhibition Room, a Rockin Country performance, Quilt Exhibition, Simulated Sports Games. Among others, representatives from ASC Benefits, Metlife and Vanguard will be in attendance providing valuable information for us. All of us have always been so excited to attend these biennial Reunions, I hope this too will also be a successful and memorable Event. We attendees have always been some of the best Goodwill Ambassadors between the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Let s keep up this tradition. See you Orlando! ñät@^ Çzt YtÜÇáãÉÜà{
