Subject: TIME OF THE BIG EVENT

 Dear ALL,
 
 Points made by Tang Ming, Chen Li Qing, Li Ying Ping, 
 and Quan You Li are well taken. I would urge everyone 
 to please respond to Zhang Fan’s call to update your 
 info on the registration page. It seems that some 
 compromise has to be made (e.g., to move the party 
 time a couple hours earlier, as suggested by Ying Ping 
 and You Li), but to change the date at such a late 
 stage seems quite inconvenient for many who have no 
 luxury of the flexibility to drive to Vegas. I agree 
 with Tang Ming that we are beyond the planning stage 
 at this point. I personally don’t like the idea of 
 having several smaller parties. The biggest event 
 of the reunion would be to have ALL of us meet at 
 one point in time in Vegas.
 
 Let us all try our best to reach that goal.
 
 YAN XU
