  • Statement on COVID-19 (Corona) Virus…

    We are following the COVID-19 (Corona) Virus carefully, and do not know what conditions may be by Alumni Banquet time in June.

    At this time, we are hoping social distancing and the warmer early summer weather will slow or halt the spread of the virus and no action will be necessary. But at this time, the forecast from the CDC is not looking promising.

    However, please keep in mind that if health & safety conditions or federal, state, county or local regulations make it necessary, we will have to cancel the Annual Alumni Banquet and send refunds to everyone who has made reservations.

    We will do our best to make such a decision in a prompt and timely manner to allow everyone to adjust their plans. At this time we are delaying any email or postal mail advertising about the Annual Alumni Banquet as long as possible. We hope to have a better handle on things by the middle of April. We have set an internal deadline of April 20th as our final decision point to either cancel/postpone the banquet or continue with the advertising as planned. We are also leaving open the possibility of having to cancel as the date gets closer if things have not improved and we have sent out the invitations.

    At this time, we are removing access to the downloadable reservation form and blocking access to the banquet reservation page until such time as we have made a decision on what we will be doing concerning the annual alumni banquet.

    We have been thinking about this a lot this week, and are trying to find the most prudent, safe and effective path to follow forward. May you all be safe & healthy during this troubling time. We all look forward to our next alumni gathering, whenever that may occur!!

  • 2019 Banquet Photos are Finally Online!!!

    Class of 1969 Group Photo

    Apologies for the terrible delay on posting the photos for the 2019 Annual Alumni Banquet.  Between preparing for my own class’s 40th Reunion in August and dealing with other things, picture editing and posting slipped my mind for awhile and then kept getting pushed back as time was just occupied with other things….

    You can now find the all the banquet photos and others in the Photo Gallery using the link at the bottom of the page or use the link below to go directly to the 2019 Banquet Album:

  • Annual Banquet Reservation Form Online…

    The reservation form for the Annual Alumni Meeting & Banquet has been posted online and available for downloading.  You can download your copy today at this link: Annual Banquet Reservation Form.

    If you have an email address on file, you should have received the first email for downloading this invite. A couple more will follow in the coming weeks.

    If you are a currently active dues paying member with no email address on file, you will get a copy of the printed banquet information via First Class Mail that will be mailed out the week of April 15th.

    If you are not an active dues paying member, but you are a member of a class of 1969 or older, the classes of 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999, 2004 or 2009 or had paid dues in the past five years and have a valid USPS mailing address on file with us and do not have an email address, you will get a copy of the printed banquet invitation in the mail via non-profit standard mail (reduced postage rates) that will be mailed the week of April 15th.

    Starting this year, and the reason for the early first emailing, is a new effort to reach all the selected groups, those who fit the groups above that have not opened the first email within a week will also be selected for the postal mailing groups above.

    If you wish to update your contact information to be sure you will receive either the email or mailed copy of this banquet invitation and future alumni communications, you may update your information by CLICKING HERE.
