Meals and Tickets finalized tonight: 113 total guests!
Basque Cultural Center confirmed their policy of NO ticket sales at the door. Ticket sales end tonight!
Committee is asking for pictures of classmates that have passed away so we can have updated pictures for the In Memoriam table at the reunion. Especially needed are pictures of Jake Davidson,
Gary Hunter, Val Fornesi, and Jon Flood as we have only Sophomore pictures of them.
A Picnic is planned following the tour on Saturday morning of Cap's campus. You don't have to have been at the reunion to join us for the tour or the picnic. We're reserving an area at Green Hills Park on Ludeman Ln just up the hill from Cap. Should start around 1:00PM.
Tonight's a good time to start with what to expect when you arrive on Friday night.
​
You will check in at the registration table outside the room we're spending the evening in and have your picture taken by the photographer for the portraits in the Memory Book. You'll be given a registration/Ziplock with everything you'll need for the evening: name badge (with picture if you're a classmate), name label with your meal choice to put on the table when you decide where you're sitting, drink ticket, and 50th reunion souvenir for classmates. Drink tickets are good for anything at the bar: beer, wine, well drinks, or soda.
​
So happy to add Jerri Port to our list, just in time! That brings our final total to 114!!
​
Let me emphasize one more time: there can be NO ticket sales at the door or admittance without pre-registration. If you were unable to get your tickets by today, please plan on joining us for the tour at 11:00AM in the upper parking lot of Cap, and the picnic at Green Hills Park following the tour.
​
Time for the picnic will depend on the length of the tour. We anticipate we will start gathering 1-1:30. Pick up your favorite sandwich and beverage and join us to continue the celebration of the Class of 1973's 50th reunion!
Program was finalized and sent for publication today! Thank you, Carol G and Patti Klemonsky for the hours that took today! If you got your "Are You Attending" form in, or gave us your permission to share your contact information, you'll be in there for classmates to find you!
Check out the Alumni Pic page. Suzie Koel and Debbie Fagin are showing up, and Sharon Gabriel Armanino is looking beautiful at her daughter's wedding.
​
Speaking of Sharon Gabriel, we are still hoping to get updated pictures and tributes to those that we've lost. Please, if you know family/friends of those who have left us, reach out for pictures and/or tributes we can put on the back of their pictures so they can be honored at our gathering. To date we have 6 out of 40. We loved and miss them all. Please help us honor them.
More tomorrow! If you have any questions I haven't yet answered, please email or text me (916-300-9729) so I can address them. If you're wondering, someone else is too.
​
4 more days!!

Jan. 17, 2024
Hello, '73 classmates! I hope 2024 is starting strong for all of you! I have an update for you about the much-anticipated Memory Books.
Carol and I received the proof of the Memory Book on Monday this week. There was one major problem that we messaged them about on Tuesday as it will take them a while to make the necessary change. Aside from that, there were only a few minor edits to bring to their attention. We will print the pages that need edits and 'red ink' them shortly so the final product can be on its way to us soon!
​
Thank you for making the reunion so memorable. I know the Memory Book will be worth waiting for. Remember, if there was a classmate you were wishing we'd found in time, we have 4 years before we'll start planning the next one! Let's start early with finding the ones we missed this year!
​
Happy New Year all!!
