56th Reunion Date, Location, Meal Plan
Hello again LHS Class of '69
We are pleased to confirm that our 56th reunion will be held Tuesday, September 9, 2025. Like last year, it will be an afternoon event featuring a luncheon, but this year - because of some generous donations from many of you - we will be "kicking it up a notch!"
Read on.....
The general destination will be Winter Island Park, Salem (as it was last year), however we are upgrading to a new venue within the park called the function hall which is an indoor/outdoor facility that should be a major improvement in terms of comfort, flexibility, convenience, views, etc..
The function hall comfortably seats 60+ indoors (with tables), has a refridgerator, private bathrooms, is sleltered from the elements, etc. This means no need bring chairs, coolers, sunscreen, or umbrellas that we suggested last year. And while we know you'll miss the bees and public toilets, at our age we thought that you deserved no less.
The function hall also has an outdoor patio that wraps around 2 sides of the building, is large enough to accomodate dozens of chairs, some tables, has a railing for some quality "leaning", and is also steps from Salem Harbor with lovely views and nice breezes which should make it very comfortable in early September.
Bur wait there's more....
This year, instead of the sandwiches that we ordered from Panera last year (which we thought worked out pretty well), we are upgrading to an all-you-can-eat catered cookout. Wahoo! What's not to like about that?
Details to follow but basically we're bringing in a catering truck that will be grilling up some great food on-site for us likely including some massive, mouth-watering steak tips as well as other entrees and side dishes. And they'll be on-site for several hours so you'll be able to load up your plates over and over again. Better than your own back yard!
So save the date, 09/09/2025 and "Come on down" (or up or over or wherever you are). It should be a lot of fun. Hope to see you there.
Be in touch shortly.
