40th Reunion Plans Well Underway!!

Posted on by

After last night’s meeting of the 40th Reunion Planning Committee, we are happy to report that the plans are well underway. Our plans are to have the registration materials in the mail to all alumni within 7 to 10 days. To give you a “heads up” on the information, here are the details on the pricing and specials:

Friday, August 16th

Friday Night Ice Breaker at Nicole’s in Camden is a free event, with a cash bar for drinks and food. This will be a great place for everyone to catch up and talk to old friends that we have not seen in 5 or more years since our last reunion event.

Saturday, August 17th

Saturday evening we will have a dinner banquet at DiCastro’s Private Beach Club in Sylvan Beach. Social hour with appetizers and cash bar will be followed by a buffet style dinner with great views of a summer sunset on Oneida Lake.  DiCastro’s was formerly Phol’s Beach House, and has been renovated back to it’s 1930’s grandeur as a premier banquet facility. DJ services will be provided by Jim Nutting, who will be accepting requests, details to follow…

The cost for the dinner banquet has been set at $65 per person or $125 per couple with an early reservation discount rate of $60 per person $115 per couple for reservations postmarked no later than May 3rd.

Saturday, June 15th – Camden Alumni Association Annual Banquet

Finally, if you are within a reasonable driving distance of Camden, we highly recommend attending the annual Camden Alumni Association Banquet on Saturday, June 15th at the Camden High School Cafeteria. This event is well received every year, and as the 40th Year Class, it is a good time to make a great showing at the banquet.

You will receive a separate mailing from the Camden Alumni Association in late April to make your reservations for the annual banquet at the high school. For around $20 per person, this is a great informal catered event for all alumni & friends.

If you took pictures during any of the recent Class of 1979’s 35th Reunion Events, please share them with me so I can post them here on our class website!  I have a few pictures I took at the Ice Breaker, School Tours and the Dinner Banquet, and have created a Photo Gallery for each event:

DJ for Dinner Banquet Canceled…

Posted on by

Due to very low responses to the 35th Reunion Dinner Banquet at Delta Lake Inn, we have had to cancel the DJ entertainment. Our reservations have not been sufficient enough to generate the money we need to pay for the DJ, and at the current rate of responses, we highly doubt we will be able to meet the minimum number to cover that cost.

We don’t want to wait until the last minute and not give him a chance to book another event, so we are canceling the DJ services now.

35th Reunion Site Update Complete

Posted on by

I have worked on our class site most of the afternoon & evening today, and I think I have just about everything updated for the 35th Reunion in August.  All of the information pages are relatively complete, and will be updated as things change.

You can find information about all the 35th Reunion Events and updated attendance lists on this website.  The attendance lists will be updated regularly once reservation forms start coming in to me….

Shortly, I will look into online registration and payment options, so you can register and pay via PayPal, but I have to do a little research on how to do that from this newer website….

35th Reunion Approaching Fast….

Posted on by

Today, you should receive an email about the plans for our 35th Reunion. The reunion committee is working on finalizing the plans for our reunion weekend over the next few days, and at that time, I will update this website with all the information about our upcoming 35th Reunion.

For now, the plans are:

Friday, August 1st:

7pm: Ice Breaker Event at The Sunset Grill in Sylvan Beach

Saturday, August 2nd:

11am-3pm: Family Style Picnic at Forest Park & Tours of the High School & Middle School
6pm-11pm: Dinner Banquet at Delta Lake Inn, at Delta Dam, north of Rome.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion!  Look for your information & reservation package in the mail soon!

Annual Alumni Event 2013 (34th Reunion)

Posted on by

Well, 2012 is fast coming to a close, and I will have to admit to being a bit lax on getting together with the Class Reunion Planning Committee to set a date for our 2013 Annual Event.

Therefore, I am making an executive decision that we maintain the same schedule as we have used in the past, and stick with the second Saturday of August for our annual reunion gathering.  For 2013, this will be August 10th.  We will also keep with the same location, Don VanDresar’s “Sunset Grill” in Sylvan Beach, as it has worked out well for the previous years.

Look for more detailed information in the spring as the planning committee gets together to finalize the plans and costs for our annual event.
