*= Registration Process has been completed

 

Area Hotels

Your General Alumni Association had reserved room blocks exclusively for our Reunion Weekend participants at hotels in Chapel Hill, Durham and the RTP area. (See link below for details.)

While all the reserved blocks have expired, we have provided a list of area hotels of which the GAA is aware still had rooms available as of mid-April.

Click here to view full details about each hotel block available.
It is important to use the specific block name when making your reservation or the hotel may not look to check availability within the reserved block. (In other words, the hotel may be sold out except for the rooms in the block.)  

Reunion Weekend Schedule and Parking

Parking

First off, let’s alleviate your concerns:  convenient and sufficient parking will be available and the GAA sends all registrants detailed parking instructions (and a map) sent with confirmation materials.

50th Reunion Patrons

 

A message from Class President and Reunion Chair John M. Harmon:

Like several 50th reunion classes before us, we decided to create a Patron Fund for our 50th Reunion. This was not a solicitation for contributions to the University's General Fund. This Patron Fund was used exclusively by our class to defray costs of our reunion.

We used the fund to help cover the costs of the Saturday night banquet and dance, publication of the 50th Anniversary Yackety Yack, courtesy refreshments at various events and discrete assistance to classmates who would like to attend the reunion but are unable to afford it.

Scroll down for a list of Reunion Patrons who  donated.

Thank you.

Thank you to these Class of 1966 Reunion Patrons
