Our class reunion… finally. If you plan to bring others along please indicate that in your RSVP. If you can’t, message me separately. That includes kids. This will help dictate head count for venue space, food, and other safety concerns.
@everyone I just want to keep yall posted with the planning.
I knoww this is long but please read it all.
I also Apollogize for posting so late.
Currently aiming to find a venue for August 16th from 3/4pm to 9pm. Then for those who don’t have kids or have the baby sitter, a lounge for after would be great to have some drinks.
For the actual reunion:
Location: still not secured. Aiming for the Frederick Douglas rec center. Just for convenience since it’s also right next to the school.
-Teachers/Staff: if you have anyone’s contact please send them event once it is created.
-events:
- it’s pretty short notice so I will try my best to see if we can get a tour of the new school for those who haven’t been in it. (Working hard to find some connections that can make this happen. So if you have any please pass it my way or reach out to them).
