Class of 68 meeting and Mega update

Date: March 13th 2024

Dear Classmates,

In this email, we want to update you on specific Class of '68 plans, and then how the Mega-Reunion ties into things.

Friday Night 68 Hang August 9

The night before the big Mega-Reunion starts, the Class of '68 plans a simple informal get together. There are places near the Hyatt, where many out-of-towner classmates will be staying where we can meet on Friday night. The main idea is that we have some money left over to buy some pizzas, etc. and without any special reservations or deposits, you can show up. More details such as location, time, etc. to be announced. At that point, we'll ask you to let us know you're coming, so we can buy enough pizza!

News of the Mega Reunion in August 2024

68'ers, the Mega-Reunion organizers are planning a tribute to the first graduating class (that's us!), so they really want us to come! Nancy Pearson Shock thinks it would be a great idea for you to look up an old friend in our Classmates Directory (not affiliated with Classmates business. We don't share our mailing list with them). Many have secure @lhs68.net email forwarders, so you can contact them. Maybe they or their siblings will want to come too!

We will not be sending out lots of emails, but felt an update from the organizers was worthwhile here:

  • If you want one, send me the address you want it forwarded to.
  • If it ever becomes a problem, just let me know, and I'll disconnect it.
    • we haven't had any problems so far!
