World War 2 Vets
The committee wants to honor all surviving
Finance Corps WW2 vets at the Sep 11 banquet. If you know of a
Finance vet (they don't have to be RAFINCO or RAFINO members) e-mail
Bill Tolbert with the information. We will honor them even if
they are not present at the reunion.
Bridge Tournament
The bridge tournament has always been run by
Russ Delany. Russ can't make this reunion. Unless
someone else steps in to run the tournament, there won't be one.
If you are interested call
Bill Tolbert.
The RAFINCO-RAFINO reunion committee meeting at the Murano, site of

meeting at the Bite Restaurant in the Hotel Murano.
The 2010 RAFINO and RAFINCO reunion will be in intriguing and sunny
