Dear Classmates,

In past years, reunions may have been about “show and tell”,
But this time around it’s all about “show up and share”.

Whether you are rich or poor, athlete or artist,
businessman or scientist, an introvert or extrovert…
IT DOESN’T MATTER!

Whether you’re running a Fortune 500 company or just
punching the clock, retired or collecting unemployment;
Whether you’re living in luxury, or getting by okay or
just flat out broke…
IT DOESN’T MATTER!

Whether you’re still hot stuff, weathering well,
or aging beyond recognition;
Whether your shape is slight or ample, firm or fluffy;
Whether your hair is in abundance or a bit in absence…
IT DOESN’T MATTER!

Whether you’re happily married (for the first,
second, or third time), or divorced;
Whether you’re living single or with a significant other;
Whether you come alone, or with a date…
YOU KNOW, IT JUST DOESN’T MATTER!

Is our message clear yet?

There really is no excuse good enough to keep you from attending
your 50th class reunion. We shared some formative years together
in Long Beach and have done a lot since then over the past 50
years. Let’s get together to celebrate and share a few moments
together again…

So mark your calendars NOW!!! for Friday, Oct. 7, Saturday,
Oct. 8, and Sunday, Oct. 9, 2016. This will be a fabulous time to
reunite with your classmates and to relive those memorable three
years we spent together at our beloved Woodrow Wilson High School.

Invitations will go out in January 2016. Cost is $110 per single/ $200 per couple.
Includes Saturday night Buffet Dinner, Alumni Book and a heck of a good time!
Hope to see you there!

Fabulous View & Sunset!
Come mingle with your friends before the
big night for a Great Time and
Good, Good, Good, Good Vibrations!

There is a five minute “colorful” walk on the pier past all the fishermen. However, we’ve organized a 6 person Golf Cart with driver just for our class for those who would rather not maneuver thru the fish remains and bird droppings! The Golf Cart is FREE for those attending the Friday Night Event... But TIPS are welcomed! It will be available from 6PM - 7PM and for the return from 9PM - 10PM or thereabouts.

• Bring sunglasses for a glorious sunset.
• Bring a sweater as it might become cool.
• Bring a camera to capture the memories.
• Bring CASH to the Friday night event.
You’ll need it for drinks - CREDIT CARDS ARE NOT ACCEPTED.

A light dinner is included in the $20 a person reservation fee at this casual venue. The view will be worth it! A Dinner Ticket will be issued at the door. A no host bar will be available for drinks.
Plenty of parking at the end of Termino and it's FREE after 6PM.

BIG RED BUS!

We've organized a Double Decker Bus Ride to and from the pier with a FREE glass of bubbly!
There will be 2 pickups:

1. Pacific Inn in Seal Beach at 4:45-5PM.
600 Marina Drive Seal Beach

2. SeaPort Marina Parking Lot in front of main lobby at 5:45-6PM
6400 E Pacific Coast Hwy, Long Beach

YOU MUST BE ON TIME. The tour will take approximately 45 minutes and will go through Naples, Belmont Shore, the Peninsula, circle Wilson High School, Recreation Park, and cruise Ocean Blvd to our Pre-Night event at the Belmont Pier. It's FREE!

A sign up email will be sent out soon!
