Reunion Weekend Weather

According to Matt Jackson, our in-house meteorologist, we're going to have pleasant weather for the reunion:

Late night and early morning low clouds and fog along the coast. Probably clearing out in the afternoon.

Highs: in the 80's.

Winds: Southwest to west 5- 10 mph

Chance of Precipitation: Less than 10%

Perfect! Thank you Matt.

GO SAINTS!

Yea! More Saints are signing up daily to attend the reunion! We can't tell you how happy this makes us!

The list of Attending Saints (link located in the Reunion Quick Links on the right hand side of this blog,) is being updated each time we get a new alumnus. We are now up to 65 Saints with a total of 89 guests, and I know of a couple more that are still thinking about attending.

We go to the caterers at the end of this week so please do purchase your ticket(s) by Wednesday the 23rd. If you can only give us a deposit to hold your ticket...that's fine, you can pay your balance at the door. Please note that if you take that option, we can only accept checks or cash; we won't have a credit card reader on site.

12 days left...we're looking forward to seeing you all there!

We're in the home stretch!

Hey everyone!

Just 15 days left and we're still getting Saints signed up for the big party. Sixty two Saints as of this writing to be exact with a total of 83 guests, and a promise of two more on the way. We are very pleased!

As a reminder, our drop-dead date for pre-paid tickets is July 23rd. at noon! We strongly encourage you to buy your tickets ahead of time instead of at the door. The caterers only make 5% over our given head count which means only four extra meals. If you choose to show up without letting us know...that's your prerogative but you may not get a meal or a good seat, and you'll still have to pay to get in. It's so not worth the chance.

If you're holding out for the element of surprise, then send me a note with your payment to that effect and I won't put your name on the Attending Saints list. It'll be our little secret. We just want you at the party!

Still on the fence? Consider these points:

• The committee has put in a lot of thought and effort into making this party FUN and memorable!
  
• We're entering an era (and I don't mean to be morbid,) where we are going to start losing people; this might be the last chance to see people that you might not otherwise see.
• Who knows if anyone will pick up the reins and organize a 40 year or 50 year reunion, but I do know this reunion is happening.
• This is the last reunion before we become senior citizens! We're going out with a bang!
• Most alumni are coming stag, so you don't have to feel weird about coming alone.
  
• It's a chance to see old friends and make some new ones too!
  
• We've got great prizes to give away!

We hope to hear from you soon.

Drop-Dead Date...

July 23rd. By the 23rd we need to have your ticket money in hand because we go to the caterers on the 24th with our head count.

Does this mean that you can't come and pay at the door? Not at all. If you decide at the last minute that you want to attend, we will not turn you away, but we won't have planned on your attendance either. Which means that there may or may not be a meal available for you depending on how many others wait to the very last minute, and it means that your seating may be less than ideal.

It would be most convenient for all concerned if you would purchase your ticket(s) before the 23rd. We really can't afford any more gray hairs. :)

To everyone who has purchased their tickets and returned their r.s.v.p. cards with their menu choice a big THANK YOU and a hug and kiss from all of us on the reunion committee. MUAH!

Keep'em Coming!

Well the r.s.v.p. cards are starting to roll in. I know, you all just wanted to see how many more gray hairs you could cause us before the reunion. That's ok...we just want to see your smiling faces and if it means a few more fine lines and silver hairs, so be it. Just keep'em coming!
