Four Weeks and Counting


If it seems like the last 30 years have flown by, the last three months have been a blur. Since our first reunion committee meeting on Saturday, April 30, nearly three months have come and gone. Our 30th high school reunion is just four weeks from Saturday.

Last night, several of us gathered at Testo's Restaurant on Madison Avenue for a "photo shoot." The pictures will be used in an upcoming article written by committee chairman Tony Procaccini for the Fairfield Citizen and Minuteman newspapers. The adjacent photo was taken last night.

The committee members have been working diligently since April taking care of every detail to ensure a successful gathering. Alumni have been contacting former classmates through email and phone calls, getting in touch with former teachers, arranging the evening at Testo's Restaurant, hiring a disc jockey, and planning the decorations.

The reunion weekend even includes a four-hour Family Reunion Social Sunday afternoon, August 20, at Lake Hills beach 4 for alumni and their families. They'll be able to swim, play ball, have a picnic, and ride the boats. In short, it adds up to a lot of fun for everybody.

It has been a pleasure helping prepare for the event. The committee members are outstanding individuals. We're looking forward to a tremendous weekend.

Paul
