PLEASE NOTE VENUE CHANGE for Friday night!!
The venue for Friday night's "Meet and Greet" on June 22nd has changed from Olio's to the Gaston Country Club. This was totally beyond our control. With only one month's notice, Olio's informed us that they are CLOSING! It is amazing how everything fell wonderfully into place securing a new venue!

The committee has worked hard planning the 50th reunion and is very excited about the upcoming celebration in June. In setting the per person expense at $50 (which includes BOTH Friday & Saturday) and to still make our reunion a very special and memorable event, we are seeking donations in any amount to help offset expenses that must be paid in advance. This is in addition to donations personally made by the committee members and donations already received from some of our classmates. A big "Thank You" to those who have already made donations!
ANY amount at all that anyone is able to donate (in addition to $50 ticket cost) will be helpful and greatly appreciated! If you have any questions, please email Linda Kluttz Harrold at lharrold6.8@gmail.com.
Checks should be made payable to Ashley Class of 68 and mailed to:
Linda Harrold
1846 Lookout Lane
Gastonia, North Carolina 28054
Thank you, again, and we look forward to seeing everyone at our "Big 50" in June!
