Hotel bookings – CL has many hotels but we have asked Holiday Inn on Rt 31 to set aside a block of rooms to lock in the rate. Please mention CL Reunion Class of 1975 when making your reservations. At this time, 10 rooms are allocated but they are willing to allow for more. Cost including fees is approximately $150 per night. Book by August 1, 2025!
Pictures – We have found a photographer who will take a group photo at the reunion and sell for $40. He will also be on hand to take smaller group photos for $10-$20 depending on size of group and photo size. We will have an exact time for the class photo closer to time.
Special notes. We’d like to have a raffle at the Reunion and are looking for prize donations. (Gift cards, school merchandise, anything you think would be fun to win.)
We’re also looking for volunteers to help decorate and meet people at the door for each activity. Please DM/PM any committee member if you are interested in helping out in any way.
Special thanks to all who are helping keep this moving!
