JMHS Class of 1969 Reunion Committee

July 4, 2009

The updated registration form includes some additional information on the Golf Outing, Hotel information with an online reservations link, and some other details. Final details on all activities will be emailed to all attendees in early August.

Since we decided to open this event to friends and families of Class of 1969 members we are already past the halfway mark for our capacity at the Flame room and we have every reason, based on verbal commitments, to expect to SELL-OUT the Saturday Night event. Don’t delay and possibly miss out on your 40th Reunion. Send the registration form (personal biography optional) and your check by July 31st to take advantage of the $40.00 price and assure your spot . Once we reach the Flame room’s capacity unfortunately we will have to turn people away- Don’t let it be YOU!!!! Send in your registration TODAY!

Hello Class of 1969!

We need your help! So far we have 38 accurate emails for the class of '69. Our plan is to communicate exclusively through email-To that end we hope that each of you that receive this email (or visit the '69 Reunion website) will send 3-4 emails of people you stay in touch with from the class of '69. From there we are hopeful we can extend the connections to include the vast majority of our class. Please send as many emails as you know, or if you have phone numbers call and get their email.

We are finalizing our plans and hope to have an e-invitation sent out sometime in April with all of the details and costs. We will have a golf tournament on Friday (late am for those who'd like to play) and an evening get-together at the Tyson's Marriott. We have reserved a block of rooms at the Tyson's Marriott, and will send out the booking information soon- the rate will be $89.00 (+tax) and our Friday Night Social will be held there as well (so if you need a room-plan on staying at the Tyson Corners Marriott). The Reunion will be Saturday evening and will be held at the newly renovated Flame Room at the Vienna Firehouse (that should bring back a few memories, albeit intoxicatedly blurred memories). We are planning on having an inclusive food, drinks (beer, wine and mixers-BYOB- for liquor) DJ, etc. price set as soon as we confirm a few costs. On Sunday we are planning a picnic and perhaps a tour of the newly renovated JMHS (if you haven't seen it you won't recognize it).

Although this is the reunion for the class of 1969- the reunion committee felt that since the Flame Room can accommodate a large crowd- we are extending the invitation to any alumnae who attended JMHS while the class of 1969 was in there (so 1966-1972, roughly-but we will make exceptions) We felt that this would enable brothers and sisters, as well as friends of our class members to attend as well. Since many will be coming in from distant locations we felt it important to maximize time with all of your friends in addition to the class of '69. Additionally, the larger the number of attendees, the lower the cost for everyone.

So dig out the rolodex, hit the whitepages.com, and think about who you'd really like to see and FIND THEIR EMAIL!!!
