PLEASE READ THE NEW POST BELOW WITH DETAILS ABOUT OUR 55th REUNION! The 3 Musketeers (Lois, Randy, & Audrey) have celebrated Labor Day by laboring on the many details necessary to pull together a memorable Reunion!  CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU THERE!!!   >p>
55th reunion information.
IS THE SEPTEMBER 27 DEADLINE FOR PAYMENT FIRM? The $55 per person fee includes heavy hors d'oeurves, venue rental, etc. Classmates who do not pay by that date will not be able to pay at the door, as seating and food will have been apportioned already only for those who have paid.
CAN WE INVITE PEOPLE FROM OTHER YEARS OF GRADUATION TO OUR REUNION? Not at this point. We expect to get 200 people and a possible waitlist. We specified to Oakwood to price our event to include large round tables with enough chairs for everyone to have a seat and only have to stand to move around freely to see old friends.
WHAT WILL THERE BE TO EAT? Heavy hors d'oeurves and desserts. You may move around and graze among friends or sit the whole evening at your table. We picked things we thought you'd like! The menu includes ham biscuits, mini quiches, chicken kabobs with peanut dipping sauce, meatballs, stuffed mushrooms, cheesy sliders, and a charcuterie platter with meat, olives, fruit, veggies, dips, and crackers. Desserts include brownies, lemon tarts, mini cheesecakes, and vanilla and chocolate sheet cakes. Coffee, ice tea and water will be provided.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? Wear whatever makes you comfortable and happy! Business casual will be the most popular, but if you want to dress up, that's okay too.
WILL THERE BE DANCING? No. But soft background music from our high school era will play in the background.
WHAT TIME SHOULD I PLAN TO ARRIVE AND LEAVE? Doors will open at 5:30 pm. A cash bar will be open at 5:30 pm, with food brought out at 6 pm. The Reunion Committee will welcome everyone at 5:30 pm. A second short final closing program will begin at 8:30 pm. The end of our evening will be at 9 pm.
WHAT IF I GET SICK OR CAN'T MAKE IT--CAN I GET A REFUND? Unfortunately no. BUT our Facebook page can advertise your need to resell your seat, and probably someone will be grateful to snag it! Getting the newest version of the vaccine against COVID three weeks before the Reunion will give you maximum protection. And if you feel ill that night, please forego coming.
WILL THERE BE REUNION VIDEOS AGAIN? I'll be once again making a YouTube video showing every member of our Class who attends. Rest assured I will carefully select the best and most flattering photos.
"I'VE NEVER BEEN TO A REUNION AND AM NERVOUS ABOUT PEOPLE SEEING ME AFTER 55 YEARS!!!" You are a part of the collective memory of our past. You will be amazed at how many people will be glad to see you again and happy you came. You will be welcomed and your presence appreciated. There will be friendly greeters at the tables just inside the front doors and you will be given a large name tag with your high school senior picture, designed and created by Randy Bush.
"WHAT ABOUT PARKING? I HAVE SOME MOBILITY PROBLEMS." There are handicapped parking spaces in front of Oakwood. Carpooling is highly recommended. Those with mobility issues can be dropped off at the front. Uber or Lyft are other possibilities. Please let a designated driver bring you if you plan to partake of the bar. At our 50th, a nearby church offered overflow free parking within walking distance. (Who is a church member there and can ask for similar permission for our 55th?)
WILL WE BE GIVEN A DIRECTORY LIKE AT OUR 50TH REUNION? At the moment, the Reunion Committee is busy verifying current contact information. An updated online Directory will be shared onto our Facebook page and the ECG69 website as soon as complete verification is finished. NO printed copy will be available to keep our costs low but a PDF version will be posted on the Facebook site or can be emailed to anyone who requests it.
"I'M FROM OUT OF TOWN. WILL THERE BE ROOMS RESERVED AT A NEARBY HOTEL?" No, not this time.
IMPORTANT REMINDER!: Registration forms will NOT be mailed to anyone on the E. C. Glass Facebook site. Classmates who are not on the Facebook site and who had provided an email address for our 50th reunion have been sent the registration form via their email. Only classmates who are not on the Facebook site and who did not have an email address were mailed a registration form.
