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.
