We have a maximum of 200 people. With interest being high and multiple requests coming in from other classes, we need your deposits to assure your being able to be part of this event. Priority will be to PHS classes of 1967, 1968, 1969 and 1970 and to those Ladycliff girls who have already attended one of our previous reunions. At this time, I cannot accept new people unless they are in the 4 original PHS classes as mentioned above. I wish we had a bigger space but we actually were lucky to get this venue. Some venues wanted $280 a person and one venue told me to rent their space would start at $49,000. 

Now here is the best part. You can wear jeans or whatever you want because we are all about comfort. Even though our event room is indoors, just pretend you are in a big barn enjoying a night with friends. This theme was inspired by me being a little girl in bed on a Saturday night hearing the PHS kids on a hayride as they passed my house. It has always stayed with me and since our reunions are always about deep roots, we are coming full circle. I wanted to call it a hoedown but Ron asked me, “Where are you getting the hoes from?” 🤣🤣

This is the 25th anniversary of the first reunion Kathi and I did together. We never had to raise our prices before, but since the pandemic the cost of everything has skyrocketed. I apologize that we have to do so, but I still think it is reasonable. I hope you all agree. Because of the high interest, I must now ask you to send in your non-refundable $25.00 per person deposits. If you plan on bringing your spouse or someone else (because of the limitation of guests only 1 guest will be accepted at this time) you must send in $50 to hold both seats. This is going to be a first come first served basis. If we do not reach our goal by February of 2024, we will open it up to other classes and Ladycliff ladies.  

Checks should be made payable to Betsy Rodino and mailed to me at 748 Lake Artesia Lane, Fuquay Varina, NC 27526

I will start searching the hotel sites and will post by December as fall weddings, football games and fall foliage watching fill hotels quickly. I strongly advise that if you need a hotel you plan early.  Another option would be AirBNB or VRBO.

And last of all, at this time we do not know if we can put our deejay on the street the night before the reunion. If it is possible we will but we understand the permit fee to do so is about $900. It seems that there are several new restaurants near the train station so I will research and post. It might be a great idea for each class to explore reservations for large groups and after eating come out onto the sidewalks looking for others.  

Please share with others and direct them to this site. I will post on Facebook but will not put my full name, address or phone number out there. Thanks for your help.

I am very grateful Kathi agreed to help with this reunion one more time. Let’s make it the best one ever!

Betsy and Kathi

As of today, July 19, 2021 I have renewed our subscription for 5 more years so that we don't have to be bothered with Ads on our site.

Kathi has said she doesn't want to do anymore reunions, but I think there is a good chance I could convince her for one more.  With all the reunions we have ever had, we never honored the Class of 1967 and I think we should when this pandemic is completely over and life returns to normal.

Stay tuned, Betsy
