With the success of the 2009 reunion behind us and looking forward to our 50th Reunion in 2015, the
reunion committee thought it would be fun to have an interim gathering to
celebrate the Class of '65 turning 65 this year. A fun-filled birthday
celebration is being planned for Columbus Day Weekend (Oct 5-7, 2012).
We are close to finalizing details, but need your input to move ahead with
deposits for securing hotel room rates and venues,
which require contractual obligations.
The 65@65 Birthday Bash
will be a totally casual weekend, allowing time for
renewing friendships and revitalizing
class spirit in a relaxed, fun atmosphere.
The weekend will include:
- A fun mix 'n' mingle on Friday night (most likely at the Holiday Inn, Mt. Kisco)
- A Saturday afternoon-into-evening event in a large lodge (not an open pavilion) at Croton Point Park (to include: food, drinks, fireplace, indoor/outdoor games, music, and activities).
- A concluding breakfast on Sunday (most likely at the Holiday Inn)
At this time, it is essential for us to get an idea of how many people are planning to attend. Please contact Linda White Alexander ASAP (lindaalexander4@comcast.net or 973-543-6969) and let her know the following:
- Do you plan to attend the 65@65 Birthday Bash? YES NO MAYBE
- If you attend, will you be bringing a spouse or significant other with you? (Requesting info for general planning purposes only... not a final commitment.)
- Will you need a hotel room for Friday and/or Saturday nights? (No commitment now, just for planning.) The price we have been quoted is $139/night + tax, if we commit to holding a function at the hotel (Friday night mix 'n' mingle and Sunday breakfast).
Thanks to the tireless efforts of David Perugini and many Reunion Committee members, our 2009 reunion was a huge success because we were able to find and contact a large number of classmates through the Internet. The connections made at that time (through emails and phone calls) were very special to both attendees and those who weren't able to attend. Since that time, we have "found" more classmates and look forward to including them in this special event and in future reunions.
If you have any questions or need more information, don't hesitate to contact Linda.
Looking forward to hearing from you and hope to see you in October!!
Warmest regards,
Pook, Linda, David, and Mike
The "65@65 Committee" of the Class of 1965 Reunion Committee
