DETAILS ON THE EVENT
The evening begins at 5 p.m. with an hour for cocktails and reconnecting with friends, followed by the Reunion Banquet at 6 p.m. Our Thunderbirds family, past and present, celebrates our Thunderbirds legacy and the legacy being created by our 2011 brothers and sisters. Dinner entrees feature Petite Filet Mignon with Pinot Noir Reduction, Grilled Boneless Chicken Breast with Mushroom Sauce, and Salmon Filet with Citrus Glaze.  After dinner and a short break, country star Aaron Tippin performs a private show. A strong supporter of the military, he toured with Bob Hope for a USO visit to Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War and has performed for the troops in Iraq since 2002. After his performance, we will honor some old traditions and celebrate some new ones, such as the naming of the 2012 showline – as they themselves learn for the first time who will have that honor. And of course, we will celebrate the 2011 Fitzgerald Award Winner. As the banquet comes to a close, we will all linger for a while (as usual), delaying the inevitable good-byes. Our Thunderbird family, Alumni and Active Team will share this night to remember to culminate a weekend to remember. We want you to come out and be a part of this reunion.

Make your reunion plans early. You don’t want to miss the 2011 event!
