It’s that time again 

Make an effort to see some old friends and help a great cause. Crossland classes of ‘78, 79, 80, 81 and 82 will be holding a joint event on the 19th October 2024 at the American Legion Post 166 in Ocean City MD. Our fundraising will contribute to Cystic Fibrosis Charities. Ticket sales are in advance, and only $25 per person ($50 for a couple). This is a cash bar event but Legion prices are very reasonable. Pizza, wings and salad are included. There will be music and an auction throughout the evening. Below are points of contact. All are on Facebook. Questions or Suggestions please feel free to reach out. 

Additionally, if you, your company, or family have anything to contribute to the auction or charity please let someone know. Special thanks to Mary Kayafas Martinez (‘80) who is Executive Director of a Cystic Fibrosis Chapter and is coordinating our donation to this well deserving charity. 78 - Dave Flint, Jimmy Bare 79 - Lisa Siciliano Crawford, Jimmy Dulling 80 - Melissa Lamont Lippmann, Craig Brandenburg 81 - Theresa Sabatini McGrath, Jeff King, Scott Smith, Jimmy Wilhelm 82 - AmyBeth Young, Jerry Thomas.
