Here we go—everything is in place for our get together (40 years!) this October, everything but one thing: your commitment to join other classmates for a weekend of sharing memories and making new ones.
Look above for an up-to-date itinerary for the October 9-11 weekend, information about lodging if you need a room for the weekend, and a list of lost classmates-—please help us if you have good information on anyone listed. Click on the right menu to register and pay online and to complete a questionnaire for a reunion class directory; or download a Word file of the snail mail mailing and complete the information by mail and check.
Deadline for Reservations: Reserve by October 1
We will be posting and updating a list of who is coming online. In addition, for the growing number of you on Facebook, we have created a Facebook group where we can chat, upload photos (old or new), etc.
Thanks. Have a great summer, and we look forward to seeing as many of you as we can in three months!
