50th Reunion
Dear Classmates,
We are SO looking forward to seeing you all this coming weekend! September 11 and 12, 2015. Over 150 have pre-registered to date. This just may be our largest Reunion celebration EVER!
Here are some details about the weekend that might be helpful ....
The dress for both nights is CASUAL.
. . . . . Friday evening at Brix:
We're outside in a "private party" courtyard area at Brix Taphouse. (300 2nd Ave. N. in Jax Bch.). Of course, there will be an inside area to visit also, should you desire. The courtyard entrance is on the north side of Brix adjacent to their parking lot. Look for our check-in table there.
When you arrive, please check in with us for your name badge for the evening. We'll have scrumptious hors d'oeuvres from 6-8 with special drink prices also. Brix parking lot fills up quick. There's Fargo Bank lot (across the street) - just $5. And city parking lots nearby also. And of course, there's street parking. You may also want to consider Beach Buggies and another group who transport. Beach Buggies are free, you just tip them. Of course there's always UBER and cabs.
. . . . . Saturday evening at the FOP Lodge.
Here is the link to the FOP map: http://jaxbeachrange.com/directions.php
Watch for the FOP/Reunion signs adorned with purple balloons and glow sticks to guide the way also. You will be traveling through a business park and then into and thru an apartment complex, and it could get a bit tricky. So be sure to follow the signs and markers. If you should get lost, my cell # is 403-0440. Parking at the Lodge is an open grassed area. You can park around the Lodge as well as all along the road that leads past it.
Please check in at the desk for your special badge. All pre-registered will have pre-made special name badges....for you AND your spouse or guest.
We open at 6:30pm. Be there by 7:00p as we have planned a professional photo of the entire class at 7:15p . . . . . We want EVERYONE in the picture!
A huge BBQ buffet will begin at 7:30. The open bar will serve from 6:30 on. The music. The dancing. And of course, the great fellowship will continue til 11.
Oh yes.... if you have to leave and come back after 8pm, the entering gate to the apartment complex (may) be closed and require a code to get back in. See Rande if that be the case and he'll give you the code.
Questions?
. . . . Email or call Rande, or any member of the Reunion Committee
The reunion was great, it was like being back in high school for a few hours. Pat Parks was there, John Newfang, and some others I hadn't seen since 1965. Rusty Johnston was in town, so he came too.
