Hello Classmates

Wow!  We can’t believe that it has been six years since our 50^th reunion celebration from Lakeview High School class of 1966.  Was it just us or was it our best reunion ever?  We had a great time and from the looks of it and the comments we received that night and since, so did you.  That’s why we decided to have a celebration every five years.  Unfortunately the Covid 19 pandemic resulted with a cancellation of our planned 55^th last year. 

But we are pleased to announce that our Reunion Committee is in the process of finalizing our 56^th Reunion Weekend September 9 – 10, 2022.  It appears that the Covid 19 pandemic is slowly losing strength and hopefully we will all be safe for a fantastic event.   Our plans are to have a Friday evening mixer, a golf event for Saturday morning, and a Saturday evening main event.  The proposed details are as follows:

1. Friday Mixer (September 9^th) - An informal gathering on Friday night at Riverside Golf Club that will give you an extra chance to see your old friends in a relaxed setting.  The bar and outside deck that overlooks downtown Battle Creek will be open.  There will be a cash bar and bar food menu available.  There will be a band playing on the outside deck.  More details will be communicated later.
2. Saturday Golf (September 10^th) - A golf event will be organized for Saturday morning at one of the local golf courses.  We are planning a shotgun start with tee off at 10:00 am.   Details regarding the event, golf course, cost, and pairings will be communicated later.   Please indicate if you plan to play golf.  All classmates and guests are welcome.
3. Saturday Going Deep (September 10^th) – Bill Ryan will be organizing a Going Deep meeting with those who wish to participate.  He will be in contact with all to identify the details including time and location for the event.

4. Saturday Dinner (September 10^th) - The main Saturday evening event will be at the Riverside Golf Club.  We will begin with a cocktail and hors d'oeuvres hour, followed by buffet dinner.  There will be dancing on the outside deck under the stars overlooking the Battle Creek skyline.  There will be a band playing classic rock and country music.  Dress is casual.  A cash bar will be provided.  The price for the Saturday evening event will be $50 per person.  This price is the same as it was in 2016 at our Golden Anniversary. 

We request that payment be made by June 17, 2022.  The ticket price for paying by credit card is $53 per person.  However, there is a $3 discount or $50 per person, if paid by personal check.  Payment details and instructions will be sent out by e-mail May 18, 2022.

5. Sunday is open for those who wish to have their own get-togethers.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone for our 56^th Reunion.  We would greatly appreciate hearing from you indicating your plans to attend the September 9^th and 10^th weekend.  If you have not already confirmed your plans to attend, please send a reply to Rick Hammond at rhammnd@aol.com by May 31, 2022 confirming your plans to attend.   Also, please identify which events you plan to participate in so we can gage interest.
