6 p.m. Social Hour: 7:15 p.m. Dinner
Attire: "Nyssa Dressy Casual." (This is totally whatever you want it to be. You'll see everything from jeans and boots, to summer patio dresses. It's whatever you'll be most comfortable.)
The Farmer family has again graciously allowed us to have our dinner and program in their new onion packing facility located just across the bridge east of Nyssa. A social hour begins at 6 p.m. Plenty of parking available; follow the signs.
We’ll have a cash bar (beer, wine, etc.) as well as lots of soft drinks and bottled water. A buffet dinner will be served including grilled steak, chicken, assorted chilled salads, vegetables, bread and rolls, plus dessert – starting around 7:15 p.m.
Signage will be provided indicating the individual class sections so everyone will be able to gather within their class areas. Mixing and mingling is, of course, encouraged! A ‘memorabilia’ table will also be available for viewing so if you’re willing to share your old Bulldog newspapers,
We’re in the process of designing our program with a slide show or video on classmates “then and now”. Live introductions of former faculty members in attendance will be made. Each class will feature an MC introducing the class via The Big Screen, so don’t forget to upload some kind of favorite “recent” picture on your website profile. We’ll also have video acknowledgment of classmates and faculty who are no longer with us through a memorial review.
While music will be available (top hits from our era!) throughout the evening, we are working with The Twilight Café and Lounge in arranging an “after-the party” – party! There will be live music for those wishing to dance the night away at their location in downtown Nyssa, or even order your own “very late night breakfast”. More info on this later.
An on-site photographer will be present for individual class pictures. These will be taken at ten-minute intervals announced throughout the evening. These photographs will be available for purchase that night. You simply complete your name and mailing address on a manila-mailing envelope provided, pay the photographer, and he/they will mail your photo to you after they are printed. Buy one, or buy all five classes!
Please sign up on the Registration form located on our website. Be sure and list your name as well as the name of your spouse or date, for check-in purposes and name tags.
