11 Nov 2022 - Happy Veterans Day
On behalf of Dale & Jan Hamby and the 45th Reunion Committee, I'm happy to report the date for our 45th Reunion has been etched in stone. This email will serve as the first of many to keep you in the know as well as to solicit input as needed to ensure the best reunion yet. I personally have been to all but one reunion, and they do seem to get better and better. As you may recall, this reunion was to be on a football weekend and we've been waiting for the NCAA to lock in the 2023 football schedule, and that has recently happened.
- Dates: Thu, 26 Oct 2023 - Sun, 29 Oct 2023
- Venue: TBD although we're working through a contract as we speak and will publish that information in 2 - 3 weeks
- Football: Beat UMass
- A poll/survey will be released inside of the next week or two to solicit information regarding your plans to attend (as best as you may know at this time). We're attempting to get as accurate a count as we can and specifically when arriving and number of days to secure the most favorable venue rate.
- Our reunion falls on Halloween weekend; do I sense a masquerade party???
- The reunion committee is meeting soon as the planning enters a new phase.
