Dan McCarty High School
50 Year Reunion
| DETAILS |
As most of you already know, the dates for our 50th Reunion are May 15th and 16th, 2015 in Fort Pierce. The locations are as follows:
May 15th - Friday night: The Elks Club
615 South U.S. 1
May 16th - Saturday night: Riverwalk Center
600 N. Indian River Drive
More information such as registration, times, menus, prices, hotels and "things to see and do" will follow as soon as I have this information confirmed. Please continue to check this page.
FYI: Previously, our Friday night "meet and greet" has been held at the St. Lucie Village Schoolhouse. The Board of Directors for the schoolhouse has changed their requirements for usage of the school, and the Reunion Committee could not guarantee them what they required. Thus, a new venue for Friday night.

VOTINO'S HAS THOSE WONDERFUL GONDOLA SANDWICHES, AND IT IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF OKEECHOBEE ROAD JUST WEST OF THE 25TH STREET INTERSECTION. THURSDAY EVENING SOME CLASSMATES ARE MEETING AT 12A BUOY WHICH IS AT THE FOOT OF THE SOUTH BRIDGE ON THE NORTH SIDE. THEY HAVE WONDERFUL LOBSTER MAC & CHEESE!
THE ENTRANCE TO THE ELKS CLUB IS ON SOUTH FIFTH STREET. THE ENTRANCE FOR YOU TO USE WILL HAVE BALLOONS TIED TO IT. PARKING IS ON THE EAST END AND IN THE LOT ON THE NORTH SIDE. IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, PLEASE CARPOOL TO THE ELKS. IF THE EAST END AND THE LOT ARE FULL WHEN YOU ARRIVE, YOU CAN PARK ACROSS THE STREET AT CAR QUEST.
