Latest News from the Reunion Coordinator

Dear Classmates:

Our Reunion committee is looking forward to seeing you all next Saturday night to celebrate the earthquake that got rid of the Embarcadero freeway and 40 years of adulthood for us. Thank you so much for sending in your fascinating personal bios.

Just some general reminders regarding the reunion:
  • It's on October 17th at Fishermen's Grotto #9 at 2849 Taylor St, SF (Fisherman's Wharf).
  • The 2 closest parking lots give restaurant patrons 3 hours free parking.
  • Traffic around there is congested, so give yourself plenty of time to arrive at 5:30.
  • The best elevator is in the gift shop.
  • Pick up your nametag and menu tickets (to display) and gifts (for Lowell grads only).
  • There will be lots of delicious hors d'oeuvres.
  • There is a no host bar until midnight. The well drinks (alcohol) are discounted to $5 (including soft drinks) for those with nametags.
  • Iced tea, hot tea and coffee are the free drinks at dinner, which begins at 7:15.
  • We will be videotaping the reunion, so please stop by in front of the camera to say hello and to give us your name (including maiden name). To have a copy of the video mailed to you, you will need to fill out an Avery mailing label and paperclip $5 to it.
  • There will be a speaker from each class, after dinner, then an open mike for you to share funny stories.
  • Also the new Executive Director of the Lowell Alumni Association, Terry Abad, will speak briefly and will be accepting checks for donations to the school, so if you can, please bring a check to present to him. I've already received checks from a couple of you. You can designate if you want your money to go to orchestra, band, football, etc., though they prefer checks without limitations.
  • Bring lots of $5 bills for drinks (and $1 for tips).
If you have any questions feel free to call me. There is still room for 20 more people, so make sure all your old friends are coming. Have them email me for last minute registration. You can also check the reunion blog for late updates: http://lowell40reunion.blogspot.com.

See you there!

Best,
