 35th Reunion Celebration Announced
(That's Right: 35th)
|
Hello (Again),
In an unprecedented move, we've decided to start planning our 35th High School Reunion now. That's right, five years before-hand.
Please allow me to explain:
You see, we had our 30th Reunion just a couple of months ago and, well, frankly it blew us away. It was simply too much fun.
Our plan was simple. We'd keep it to the basics; nothing fancy. We threw up a website, kinda haphazardly. Made some calls to those contacts each of us still had. We figured we'd get together the night before the reunion at a local pub. And then perhaps an informal after-party the night of the gig. Simple.
And then the thing took off! The website grew organically, and put all sorts of friends back in touch with each other. The Friday night Pre-Party, the Reunion, the After-Party, well, they're already the stuff of legend. I mean, you just had to be there...it really was spectacular.
So here we go again. Except this time, we cannot wait ten years. Just can't do it. There's gonna be a 35th Reunion for The Walter Panas High Class of 1978. We're spreading the word now.
Here's what we're going to do: the website will remain live. We've added a couple of interactive elements to keep it all as current as possible. Have fun with it. Check out the "Missing Classmates" page: let's try and track down those friends we couldn't locate this time around, make the Party even bigger and better. (J.W., where are you?)
We do need your input on one very important issue: what time of year would you all like to have this Party? We've traditionally done it on Thanksgiving Weekend. Now, with our own kids entering college and coming home for the big weekend, plus the holiday-weekend-travel-headaches, plus possibly having to host Thanksgiving ourselves, we realize it may not be the best time to do it anymore. Then again, it may be...
We have the time to figure it out, so let's do it. Give us your preference via the Message Board: (1)Thanksgiving Weekend; (2) Summertime; or (3) a non-holiday weekend in the Fall.
It's your call...
