      4.\u00a0 The venue\/format for the future reunions was discussed. The previous reunions have been:<\/p>\n

      2018\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Palm Springs<\/p>\n

      2017\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cancun<\/p>\n

      2016\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Toronto<\/p>\n

      2015\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Atlantic City<\/p>\n

      For the 2019 reunion, there was sentiment to try something new \u2013 perhaps a cruise.\u00a0\u00a0 There was discussion on options.\u00a0 The two options that surfaced to the top were: a cruise, or an all-inclusive at a location other than the Cancun area.<\/p>\n

      Potential options for a cruise include the Mediterranean, Bermuda, the Caribbean, Asia, etc.\u00a0 Our batch mates in India might be encouraged to join if we did a cruise of the Mediterranean.\u00a0 There was sentiment of the group was that the cruise should be limited to about four days.\u00a0 This will limit the available options.<\/p>\n

      The options for an all-inclusive were discussed.\u00a0 These included Costa Rice, Jamaica, The Pacific coast, Puerto Rico, etc.\u00a0 Cancun was a success and something similar would be good.<\/p>\n

      The group voted on the options of a cruise or an all-inclusive.\u00a0 The vote was overwhelmingly in favor of an all-inclusive.\u00a0 The all-inclusive was a clear choice.<\/p>\n

      Ish asked for volunteers to help him plan the 2019 reunion.\u00a0 A committee was formed to plan the all-inclusive.\u00a0 It consisted of Ish, Uday and Raj.\u00a0 Subsequent to the meeting Vrajesh, Prem and Akhilesh also volunteered to help.<\/p>\n

      The 2020 reunion was discussed.\u00a0 Since it will be the 50th<\/sup> anniversary of our graduation, the institute might organize an event in India. Should we combine our reunion with the Institute and do an event in India?\u00a0 The sentiment was that most of us will not be able to participate in the event at the Institute, so we should proceed with organizing our own reunion.<\/p>\n

      Deepak Raj volunteered the host the 2020 reunion at Princeton NJ.\u00a0 His offer was very enthusiastically accepted by the group.\u00a0 We are all looking forward to hearing about the details and helping the NJ group put it together.<\/p>\n
