56th Reunion Tickets

Hi Class

The "ticket window" for the 56th reunion on September 9 is now open.  Ticket price is $40/pp.  Purchase optons for the event are as noted in the Class Donations tab on the home page, i.e., direct deposit, venmo, inter-bank transfer, or personal check. 

As per the last announcement, this will be a luncheon-centric event with likely hours in the 11-5 or 12-6 timeframe featuring an on-site catering truck from Champions Catering grilling up steak tips, chicken, and summer vegetables, and serving both pasta and caesar salads.  They also bring rolls & butter, condiments, etc., so full-service BBQ catering.  We will likely schedule them to start serviing about 1PM but will have  chips & salsa and other "apps" beforehand plus a variety of desserts afterwards.  We think the food will be to die for and you won't go home hungry.

Similar to last year, we will have lots of bottled water on hand but any other beverages up to and including beer and wine, are yours to bring.  Otherwise, come empty-handed.  The indoor/outdoor function hall should be perfect for the timeframe regardless of the weather.  And the Salem Harbor location will be a great backdrop for some terrific photo ops. 

Given the major venue and food upgrades, the cost of this year's event is significantly higher than last year.  However, because of some very nice donations to our reunion fund over the past year, we are able to keep ticket prices pretty reasonable we think for an all-afternoon BBQ.  So come one come all to Winter Island Park in Salem, MA on 09/09/25.  We think you'll really enjoy it. 

The ticket window for the event will stay open until mid-August sometime.  Please use the Contact Us link on the home page if you have any questions, comments, or thoughts.

Back soon.

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.
