CLASS OF 1960 FIFTY-YEAR REUNION INFORMATION

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!

The plans for our upcoming 50th reunion are progressing. The Reunion Committee has decided to have our big Reunion Dinner on Friday, September 17, 2010. We will then have our casual get together Saturday evening. This allows classmates more time on Saturday to spend on one of our other activities without feeling rushed. Other activity possibilities are: tour of school, trip downtown Chicago, trip to gambling boat in Joliet, golf, or grade school reunions.

The Class of 1960 reunion weekend is September 17 - 19, 2010, at the Doubletree Hotel, 5000 West 127th Street, Alsip, Illinois 60803. A block of rooms has been set aside. Reservations must be made prior to August 27, 2010 to receive the discounted rates. The group/convention code is TTH. The price of the rooms is $99.00 per night.

Don't miss this one! - It's our 50-Year Reunion! That's right! We can't believe it either! Where did all the time go? Please send Eunice Scott or Bill Lange your updated information!!
