"68/68" Reunion update

CALENDARS ARE MARKED!! Only six months left and the reunion is here: Saturday, October 6, at Irvine Park, site 2.

A Splendid time is guaranteed for all.

Our 50^th, or as Danny has appropriately named it, our “68/68” (class of 68 and we’re all pretty much 68 years old), reunion includes a bbq of hamburgers and hot dogs, with sides provided by local classmates who volunteer, a raffle, and unplugged music. Time? Um, starts around 10 am and goes til about 4pm.

But wait, that’s not all. After a dinner interlude (see below) of 3 hours, at 7pm the reunion continues with the third event at the Elks Club in Orange (the circle, Glassell and Chapman) at 211 E. Chapman Ave., Orange. This event will contain cocktails and hors d’oevres (snacks, whatever), and last til around 12 midnight.

A Friday night event is also planned but not set yet. One suggestion, from our last reunion, is a meet-and-greet get-together at a venue like a pizza parlor with a capacity for a sizable crowd. Let us know what you think!!!

Our “68/68” reunion coincides with the annual All Saints Reunion Picnic located at site 3 for those who wish to visit classmates from other years. Of course, the attire is casual, why else would we come?!

Those who wish to contribute something for the raffle contact Kathy Goddard at luv2teachninos@yahoo.com.
