*** The 55th Reunion of the SRHS Class of 1965 has been POSTPONED ***
Hello, dear fellow class members. As your former Class President and Class website Administrator, I was asked to inform each of you that the current Reunion Commitee, following much reflection and discussions about the possibilities regarding the current Covid-19 pandemic over the following months as it affects us older people in particular, has decided to postpone our 55th Reunion from this year to next summer. (See date below.)
Sylvie Moore, one of the stalwart and valuable members of the 50th Class Reunion Committee, has graciously and capably taken the reins for the upcoming event. She can be reached with question or comments regarding the upcoming reunion via her email: sylvieanne747@aol.com
New Date: Saturday, July 17, 2021
Venue: Wild Oak Saddle Club - in the Oakmont community, out in the gorgeous Valley of the Moon. (Many will recall we held our 35th Class Reunion at this venue, in August 2000. I attended and found it to be a very enjoyable and comfortable location for a gathering of friends.)
Time: 5:30 to 9:30 pm.
Price: ONLY $35/person (as a result of leftover funds in our reunion account plus substantial donations from Vic Trione and several other classmates.) This "great deal" includes passed appetizers during visiting and pre-dinner “libations", then a gorgeous, tasty buffet of carved NY steak, cedar planked salmon, maccaroini and cheese, wedge salad, grilld summer veggies and dinner rolls. A selection of mini-desserts with coffee and tea round out the ample menu.
The Wild Oak facility has been redone and I'm told it is beautiful. Lori Darling, the venue's manager, will handle everything, including having her mother sell drink tickets at $5.00 for each mixed drink, glass of wine or beer!
NOTE: For those who have yet to respond, another written Invitation will be mailed to you in March 2021, with a tear-off portion for entry of the names of attendees and the return of the $35 ticket price for each.
About a "Graduates-only" gathering: The committee decided, after searching venues (e.g., The Villa Restaurant) for this added event and assessing the level of interest, that there was not sufficient interest in a Graduates-only night to justify the expense. On the topic of additional events, there has not been any discussion yet regarding a Sunday picnic or gathering. Perhaps, at the Saturday reunion, we can announce a venue for those in town who wish to convene and reminisce, without concerns for physical distancing.
Finally, if any of you know of a classmate who has expired since our last reunion and who is not listed on our website's In Memory page, please send his/her name and any other relevant information to Committee Chairwoman Sylvie Moore. Again, her e-mail address: sylvieanne747@aol.com
Well ... that's all for now, dear people. We truly hope each of you and your family have been virus-free and well. We invite input from any who wish to comment on the above or offer a suggestion for a successful, albeit postponed, 55th Reunion.
