10 Years ~ July 17, 18, & 19, 1992
Planning-Preparation-Organization
After reaching out to Student Council Members from the Class of 1978, in the fall of 1990, the excitement began to get the 10th year reunion off the ground. Several reams of 8 1/2 x 11 paper were used to create an alphabetic class list. Soon after the list was confirmed, phone calls were made to gather a committee. Within a short period of time a committee of 14 individuals agreed to work together, to locate each class member and start the planning. The goal was to obtain a current mailing address or telephone number, so that we could send out a flyer and invitation in the mail, months in advance of the venue date.
To begin the process, the committee members agreed to take a section of the class list, to help in finding as many as possible, while discussing ideas and options. After meeting several times in person, over many months, the focus materialized to move forward on the dates, budget, venue, fundraiser details, and activities.
The anticipation continued and an agreement was unified
to hold a 3-day weekend in the month of July.
The dream became a reality, and the outreach began.
PAST YEARS
The 'Spur of Enthusiasm !!' 35th Year ~ July 22, 2017
After experiencing a great time with our 30th in 2012, feedback began to get together for a 35th.
Once the ball got rolling, a genuine effort was made to reach out to as many as possible, through Facebook, personal groups of networking, and utilizing all of the data maintained from our contact information collected.
After review of various locations available, and with consideration of a fellow alumni, the event date was confirmed and scheduled at The Dugout Bar and Sports Complex, located on Transit Road in Lockport.
We were a small group in a casual setting, celebrating the evening with drinks, late night munchies, music on the jukebox, and spirited conversation. As with each reunion, a special table was set up to remember our classmates that are no longer with us, displaying their names and pictures, honoring them with candles and flowers.
For all those that attended, much joy was shared ! There were some that had not attended any prior reunions, a few that traveled quite a distance to join in the fun, and several that stayed late to catch up on the years gone by.
