Dear Whirlie Classmates,
Your 55th Class Reunion committee is announcing Saturday October 19, 2024 as the date of our next reunion!!! We’ll all be excited to get together and enjoy seeing each other and catching up.
Since our 50th reunion was a “BIG DEAL”, we decided to have a more casual gathering for our 55th. Our main event will be on that Saturday and we’ll offer options for people if you want to gather in small groups on Friday night or Sunday for lunch/brunch. Rather than have music or a band with loud music, we’re opting for more of a “Mix and Mingle” in which we can actually talk to one another without shouting.
Your committee has learned most venues will not book events until January 2024, so we are asking for your suggestions of venues you’d like us to investigate. This can be someplace you have been or have heard it’s a good place for a class reunion. We are anticipating a total of 100 classmates and significant others. Suggestions for our Saturday night party are also welcome.
Please spread the word to any classmates with whom you are in contact as we’d like to have as large a group as we can!! Your ideas and suggestions can be emailed to me at silers@aol.com.
Looking forward to seeing and being with all of you,
Craig Siler, chair, and The 55th Reunion Committee
