Schedule of events for the 25th Reunion of the GHS Class of 1984:
Friday, October 9, 2009
4th Annual Page/Grimsley Golf Tournament: Registration at 8:30am, start at 10:00am, $85/player. Last year the tournament donated a total of $25,000 to both schools' athletic departments and provided four student-athlete scholarships. Advance reservations are required, and must be made through the website here: http://www.pagegrimsleygolf.com/
Grimsley/Page Football Game: For those who wish to attend, David Sawyer has arranged for a block of seats to be reserved for the Class of '84. Purchase your GENERAL ADMISSION tickets on the Grimsley side of the stadium and proceed to a reserved section for our Class of ’84 Alumni around the 35 yard line on the Grimsley side closest to the scoreboard. Look for the GHS Class of 1984 signs..
After-Game Social: After the game, probably around 9:30pm, people can gather informally in the bar/patio area of Print Works Bistro at the new Proximity Hotel at 702 Green Valley Road (where the old Green Valley golf course used to be). http://www.printworksbistro.com/ If you aren't going to the game, feel free to make dinner reservations, show up early, whatever. Everyone is on their own tab Friday night. NOTE: We have heard that some people are thinking that our Friday night gathering is at Cindy Essa’s restaurant, Pastabilities, as it was at our 20th. Please be aware that although Cindy is happy to have people come eat dinner in her restaurant, she cannot accommodate our large group in her small bar area. Our informal bar gathering place for Friday night is Print Works Bistro.
Saturday, October 10, 2009
Your reunion committee scheduled with the GHS Administration to hold our Family Picnic in “The Grove” (or gym in the event of rain) months ago. However, we were just notified this week that NO visitors will be allowed on campus before 3pm Saturday, and that the school is unable to honor its commitment to us. We will NOT be able to have our picnic there as previously scheduled due to the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) being administered on the Grimsley campus that day. We are exceptionally disappointed at this turn of events, and have attempted to locate a last-minute alternative location appropriate for inclement weather, to no avail. We are sorry to announce that our Saturday Mid-Day Family Picnic is CANCELLED.
Reunion Reception: We'll be at the Marriott Downtown (formerly the Sheraton) at 304 N. Greene St. from 7:00-11:00pm (Governor's Ballroom).
The suggested attire is dressy casual. However, please feel free to wear the apparel that you find appropriate.
Downtown street parking is free on the weekends. The Marriott parking deck, normally $11, will be $2 (we’ll have vouchers at the registration table).
The doors will open at 7pm. We will be in the Governor’s Ballroom on the 1st floor. Look for the signs.
For those who haven’t prepaid, PLEASE BRING CASH or Check to pay the $35.00 per person admission at the door.
During the event, enjoy visiting with your classmates as hors d'oeuvres are served along with recorded music and a cash bar.
Please make sure to arrive by 8:15pm as we will have a SPECIAL PROGRAM that you DON’T want to miss!
Enjoy our reunion gathering up until 11pm.
