Tentative Reunion Schedule

So you're asking: What's going on for our Reunion celebration besides the Big Deal at the Coliseum?
Well, here is a tentative schedule...nothing's in concrete yet. This is just to give you an idea of where the Planners seem to be headed.

On Wednesday, May 14...registration (at our Information Center at the Hampton Inn on Beach Drive). In the afternoon...possibly a Shuffleboard Party at the Shuffleboard Club (no, you will not be forced to play if you don't want to, but you can sit on the green benches and shoot the breeze a lot with people you haven't seen in years and years.) Note: Depending on indicated interest and other factors, the Shuffleboard thing could be replaced by a bowling party.

In the evening on Wednesday, May 14...a pot luck supper and/or the Girls Night Out that many of the women have expressed interest in. Maybe the bowling party could be an option for those not attending Girls Night Out.

On Thursday, May 15...9 am---A bus tour to show you how St. Pete has changed since you left...and a visit to our alma mater high school. The afternoon will be free for you to shop, sightsee or rest up for the Big Party that night.

On Thursday, May 15, 6-11 pm--Reunion Celebration at the Coliseum. Dinner, music, dancing (for those brave souls who do that sort of thing), and some entertainment surprises. One of your take-homes will be a suitable-for-framing certificate--with your name on it--in honor of your living long enough to attend the 50th anniversary of our graduation. (Dress code is dressy casual, meaning that you women will not be forced to buy a designer long dress and take the rhinestones out of the bank vault and you gentlemen will not have to harnessed against your will into a tuxedo.)

On Friday, May 16 at ??? am (see Woody Tanner), some people who like to hit little white balls into tiny cups on a golf course will get together. Around noon we'll all get together for a picnic.

Note: The author takes no legal responsibility for the authenticity of the schedule described above. Any changes, variations, additions, etc. , are up to the Planners. But you can send in your opinions and apply your influence toward making The Official Schedule.
