Please send any updates on the memorial page and/or any of your favorite pictures to
There will also be a memory table with two dressmakers' dummies- please feel free to bring any memorabilia you would like to share! We have a male letterman's jacket for one of the dummies but would also love a female one if you have one you would like to show off!!
THE COST FOR ALL OF THIS FOR BOTH NIGHTS
(which includes the taco bar at The Rock, the event space at Two Penguins, the photo booth, the balloon decorations, the slide show, the dinner and the dessert and the fun is ...
ONLY $109 per person if you sign up before and PAY before July 20th!
After the 20th, the cost will go up to $119.00 per person to accommodate the extra fee we need to pay for adjusting our numbers
We need our final numbers in by July 20 - please confirm and pay prior to that date.
Please sign up and pay NOW - so that we can have a great 50th reunion!
We need to have our final numbers in by July 20th, so we will not be able to accept further reservations after that time.
There will be minimal space for walk-ins - so please don't procrastinate - Cost at the door at Two Penguins will be $139.00 to accommodate the last minutes changes to the number of attendees.
The cost at the door at The Rock will be $25.00
ANY POTENTIAL WALK INS DO NOT COUNT TOWARD THE NUMBER OF TICKETS WE NEED TO SELL TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN - WE NEED TO HAVE FINAL NUMBERS IN BY JULY 20TH
Payments at the door will be cash or checks only to eliminate the need of a credit card processor.
Please sign up AND PAY NOW !!
We have opted to not add payment options to the webpage as we get charged a fee and we are doing our best to try and keep the price reasonable. Keep in mind that the cost of a ticket for the 20th reunion was $86 - so this is just barely above that 30 years later - not to mention that this is for TWO nights of fun!
