Our fraternity’s 60^th reunion is this weekend.

In this update:

1. Last-Minute Attendees are Welcome

2. RSVP Please for Meals

3. Events Schedule

4. Inexpensive Accommodations Option

5. Who is Coming (107 To Date)

6. Directions to Event Locations and Rodeway Inn

1. Last-Minute Attendees are Welcome

We anticipate that quite a few members who have not yet confirmed will be at the reunion on Saturday. If you have not purchased a ticket, no worries. We look forward to seeing you there. You can pay your $20 at the Badminton and Tennis Club.

2. RSVP Please For Meals

We need to know how many will be coming to the Saturday-night dinner and the Sunday brunch at Taps Brewhouse and Pub.

Please confirm to Jan Lech at jan.lech@sympatico.ca or at 905-682-8929 if you plan to attend either or both of the meals at Taps and how many persons will be attending with you.

From what we can tell thus far, most will be at Taps as well as the reunion gathering and barbeque.

Separate bills will be provided by Taps for both meal events. The $20 ticket price covers the Reunion and Barbeque in the afternoon and the after-dinner social at the Badminton and Tennis Club but not the 2 meals at Taps.

3. Events Schedule

The reunion includes 4 events as follows:

Saturday, September 26

1 p.m. to 5 p.m. - Reunion Gathering and Barbeque - Niagara Falls Badminton and Tennis Club. Volleyball and change/shower facilities are available for those who wish to play.
