Georgia Aquarium

 

Welcome to Georgia Aquarium - June and July is the perfect time to experience the world’s largest aquarium and one of the feature Atlanta attractions! With eight million gallons of fresh and marine water and more aquatic life than found in any other aquarium, you are sure to see things you have never seen before! This is one of the top Atlanta attractions!

 

 

Fulton County Zoo - Atlanta, Georgia

 

There's always something fun to do during your visit to the Zoo!  Animal keeper talks, training demonstrations, fun shows, animal encounters and more!   Don’t miss It’s a Jungle Out There, an interactive wildlife show introducing you to the jungle in your own backyard. Learn how to attract and care for the animals that share our neighborhoods with the help of spectacular bird flights and encounters with the Zoo’s most popular avian stars.  Tour includes a BBQ lunch!

 

 

Stone Mountain - Atlanta, Georgia

 

Located on 3,200 acres of natural beauty, Stone Mountain Park features a wide variety of fun family activities and things to do in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Amazing adventures await as you discover Stone Mountain activities are suitable for all ages:  Take a skyride to the top of Stone Mountain and get an up-close look at the Stone Mountain Carving; take a scenic train ride around the mountain; or enjoy a paddlewheel riverboat cruise on Stone Mountain Lake.

 

 

                                                                                                                                     New Coca Cola Museum

The World of Coca Cola Museum is one of the most popular attractions in the city.  Coca Cola was actually invented and first sold in a pharmacy in downtown Atlanta, and we will  take a tour through the Coca Cola Museum to learn everything a person could hope to know about the history of Coca Cola.

 


We have just returned from Atlanta finalizing plans for the reunion.  The dates are June 28th through the 3rd of July.  I would suggest if you are flying to make your reservations now as the return date is close to the 4th of July, a major holiday. (You can click on the picture of the hotel to link to the reservations page). If you are flying in, the hotel has shuttle service free of charge to and from the airport.  The complete schedule of events will be in the March newsletter.  This will outline all the events with a total cost including the banquet on Wednesday the 3rd of July.  In the meantime, take a tour by clicking on any of the events pictures!  This is going to be an exciting reunion! 

The hotel will have plenty of parking space that will be free of charge.  I would advise if you are planning on attending the events in downtown Atlanta, that you leave your car and take the tour bus for all the events, as parking in downtown Atlanta is $10.00 per hour.  

We would like to thank all of you who have paid your 2008 dues.  The treasury is now much healthier.  It can be healthier if the balance of you would submit your dues.  I don't like to put a notice of this type in the letter but am charged by the reunion group to do so.  

Thanks, Ed Quinn, Jim Sector, Julius Shoulars.
