     (361) 883-5731 – Reservation code R59 by 10/10/14

The Emerald Beach Hotel has a block of rooms for us. The earlier you book, the more likely you will get a room. You may reserve either a king room or a room with 2 double beds for $95 per night. Reservations need to be made by 10/10/14 using code R59.  If you have to cancel, you are responsible for your hotel bills and travel arrangements.

We have reserved two ballrooms to host 180 people.  We may be able to accommodate more. In order to do so, definite attendance numbers for the Saturday night event are needed as soon as possible in order to timely reserve the adjacent ballroom. If you have to cancel your attendance before October 15th, the reunion committee will refund your payment. 

We do not have a high school tour planned. But if we receive enough RSVPs, we will plan one for Saturday morning. Please indicate your interest on the reservation form.

All events have been planned for the downtown area. There will be a list of eating places in the downtown area when you check-in for your use in planning mini reunions with your friends for Saturday lunch or Sunday breakfast.

Earl Parr Photography will be present on Saturday to make a 55-Year Reunion booklet with still, color photos. These booklets will be available for $23 and will be mailed once they are ready. The purchase of booklets will be handled by Earl Parr Photography and may be purchased whether attending or not.

Also available for purchase is the Classmate Name and Address list. An address list emailed to you is $3.00; an address list on CD is $5.00; and a hard copy of the address list is $5.00. Lists will be delivered following the reunion.

If you would like to VOLUNTEER to help, please call (361) 877-2082, or email jeanannbird@yahoo.com and we will find a place for you!
