It was hard to believe how fast the time was flying when the third day of the reunion arrived. Among the day's activities were the Tennis Tournament, a continuation of the Social and Duplicate Bridge Tournaments and the Sideline Exhibits, or just a day of relaxation and beautification in preparation for the evening semi-formal banquet dinner.

With 516 reunion guests, the hotel had been a-buzz with Aramco annuitants for three solid days, but on day three, it grew quiet just prior to the evening festivities as reunion guests retired to their rooms to dress in their semi-formal attire. A grand banquet was planned for the third and final evening celebration.
Just outside the banquet hall, a professional photographer was available beginning at 5:00 p.m. to take group photographs. A 5 x 7 group photo will be mailed to each guest after the reunion as part of the Aramco Services Company's (ASC) 25th Anniversary gift. A beautiful engraved silver frame was given out at registration for framing the group photograph.
Happy hour began in the reception area at 5:30 p.m., and at 7:00 p.m. guests were ushered into the banquet hall for a sit-down dinner with a choice of slow roasted prime rib, stuffed chicken breast, or baked filet of sole for dinner.
Following dinner, keynote speaker,
M. Yusof Rafie, Senior Vice-President, Saudi Aramco Gas Operations gave an eloquent speech. Then prizes for the Golf, Tennis and Bridge Tournaments were awarded.
The evening festivities continued with dancing, and musical entertainment provided by DJ Mike Folk.
