Hello Class of ’68. It is a little more than 2 years until
our 50th reunion. We are now in the beginning stages of planning.
The last two, 40th and 45th , were held at Irvine Park, a
casual and relaxing atmosphere of socializing and fun.
The 40th was held in conjunction with the All
Saints Annual Reunion Picnic, held every Saturday following Labor Day in
September. Our reunion was held across the parking lot and was a bring your
lunch and beverages affair. We had 72 classmates attend.
We were so inspired by the turnout that we decided that the
45th reunion should be held at the same place and same time. This
time we rented site 3 while the All Saints Reunion Picnic had moved to site 1.
Instead of everyone bringing their own food and beverages, we decided to have a
bbq and provide beverages and asked attendees to bring side dishes. We also
expanded the reunion into a three event shindig. We had a Friday night
meet-and-greet at a pizza parlor, the reunion at Irvine Park on Saturday, and a
dinner at Mark Finley’s house Saturday night. We had 84 attend the picnic, 38
for pizza, and 36 for dinner at Finley’s. Two-thirds of those attending the
picnic did not attend the 40th reunion picnic. The picnic had a cost
of $25.00 per person and the dinner at Finley’s (taco bar) was $20.00 per
person. Whichever events they attended, everyone seemed to have a good time.
Your reunion committee has grown since the last reunion. The
committee now consists of:

For those of you who are computer savvy we have the
following social media outlets:
Facebook – groups Santa Ana High School Class of 1968
Classmates – class of 1968
Blog – sahs68.blogspot.com
The Facebook site is the most popular and easiest to use. If
you are not a member it is easy and free to sign up and become a member.
Classmates has the most numbers but is limited on posting information. The blog
is the least maintained.
Now we are approaching our 50th reunion. This
next year we will primarily concentrate on contacting missing classmates. We
would like everyone to send us a list of the classmates they are in contact
with so we can compare them to our master list. You can relay this information
to any member of the committee. The success of the last two reunions has
encouraged us to repeat that formula, but we would like to encourage all to
provide suggestions for the next reunion. We want you make this our biggest and
best reunion yet.
Your reunion committee.
