Update / Question!
The 2023 50 Plus Reunion will be held on September 9, 2023 at the Centre in Waverly. The doors will open for Coffee and Conversation at 9:00 and the meal will be served after 11:00.
Reservations required for a meal, just Coffee is $5.00.
The first 50 Plus Reunion was held in 1989 34 years ago. The idea was to provide an opportunity for classmates that graduated 50 years ago or more to meet with some of the students that they were in school with but were not in the same class. Most likely they wouldn't have seen each other for 50 plus years. Regular Class Reunions only include students from one class.
The event was originally set up so that the incoming class would organize the reunion for the next year, they had just been included in the event and would be able to improve on the previous events with innovative ideas and only must do so once. There has been a Central Committee that stayed on longer to help with the organization based on their experiences. They set the dates, made reservations for the venue and food vendors, handled the monies, etc. However, the last several years none of the younger class members have volunteered to join the Central Committee.
The current members are from classes in the 50's and 60's and given that they were about 18 when they graduated that puts them in their 70's and 80's.
We are just getting too old!
SO unless someone steps up and takes the reins, this may be the LAST 50 Plus Reunion! No reservations will be made for the 2024 event! The event does not have to continue to be every year and/or with the same format, a less formal event may be needed, but bottom line is someone must organize it or it isn't going to continue!
If any of your classes have an internet site, i.e. a Website, Facebook Page, etc. please add this information to it. We do not get a many "hits" on the 50 Plus Site and if this is the last 50 Plus we would like to get that word out too.
