Hi everyone,
We hope you
had a great month of May and have enjoyed a relaxing
Memorial Day weekend. I've had a
few problems sending this newsletter out this month, so if some of you
are receiving it multiple times - please bear with me :-) In this month’s issue, in addition to
all of the usual items (flashback in history, update on donors and
sponsors), we’ve included information on overnight accommodations, a
snapshot of where all of you are today, and music and entertainment from
our high school years (’76-’79).
We're pleased to
report that the registrations are beginning to come in for the reunion,
but let's begin this issue by reviewing the process for those of you that
may have missed this info.
Reunion

Recently we emailed
out registration forms for the reunion.
It is VERY important that if you’re planning on joining us for the
Saturday evening event at New World
that we receive your registration AND payment by June 4th. If you don’t have a copy of the form,
please either send an email to Dave Shultis at [email protected] and ask for a copy or visit the
reunion website where you can fill in an online form www.geocities.com/Onteora79.
Registration for
Friday evening and the Saturday picnic is at no charge, and is open to
the friends and/or family of the Class of ’79, but we would still like to
hear from you if you’re planning on attending so we can get a handle on
the number of people attending each event.
