Lynbrook Class of 1968 List

Lynbrook Class of 1968 List Message

2024-07-07T16:45:30Z

Dear Classmates,

In the last email, we told you about specific Class of '68 plans, and now we're ready to share them. You may have already seen the details on the class Facebook page.

Friday Night 68 Hang August 9

The night before the big Mega-Reunion starts, the Class of '68 plans a simple informal get together:

Meet us at the Laughing Monk Brewery on the Friday night of the Mega Reunion. We'll be there from 5-8PM. Not all 68'ers will attend the Mega, but if you're able, come and hang with other 68'ers. Our class will provide some munchies ("beer can nachos" & pizza!) and it will be a no-host bar.

Laughing Monk Gastropub
1235 Oakmead Parkway, Sunnyvale, CA 94085
5-8PM

If you've already said you're "going" on the Facebook event page, you're all set. If you'd like to RSVP, send Nancy Pearson Shock an email. You do not need to be going to the Mega reunion to attend this one!

[for those who are interested, I repeat the Mega info below]

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:

Class of 68 meeting and Mega update

2024-03-13T12:22:23Z

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!

Lynbrook Class of 1968 List Message

2023-10-10T14:11:55Z

Dear Classmates,

We sent out some info about the 2024 LHS Mega Reunion a couple of months ago. Since then, some significant items have been announced, and we hope to update you. You may have already seen this info on our Facebook group page. Since not everyone is on Facebook, I'll repeat some info here.

News of the Mega Reunion in August 2024

Here's a letter from the coordinator, Rick Figueroa. I have highlighted and linked some items for clarity and usefulness.

Hello LHS Vikes.

A lot of you are aware tickets went on sale September 29th for the LHS Mega Reunion 2024. Not only that, between October 1st through October 30th, 2023, we are offering an Early Bird special price of $150 per ticket. Thatâs a savings of $25 off the regular price of $175.

Whatâs more exciting is this price includes both the Saturday Night Social and Family Day at Saratoga Springs including lunch (Please see our website for the lunch menu) unlimited Beer, Wine, Soft Drinks, Water etc. included with full event ticket purchases only. Even at $175, this is exceptional value but even a better deal at the early bird special price of $150.

For clarity purposes, tickets are sold only as one ticket for both events. Tickets will not be sold separately, as in one for the Saturday Night Social, and one for the Family Day Event.

LHS Alumni are welcome to bring family, friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, whoever they choose at no additional entrance cost to Saratoga Springs. (Family Day). Other than actual ticket holders, food and beverages will be an additional cost at the menu prices set by Saratoga Springs. No outside food will be allowed as prohibited by Saratoga Springs.

Unlike in previous Mega Reunion Family Day events held at Lynbrook High School, this is the first-time food and beverages for ticket purchasers are included. In 2003 and 2013 food and beverages were available but all guests who attended were required to pay for food and beverages.

The LHS Mega Reunion 2024 believes this Family Day will be an exceptional event. After a night of celebration, dancing, and music (With a few drinks) this will be a day of leisure and a relaxing time to chat, reminisce, and give that one more time hug. We hope these are moments you will cherish.

See you in 2024.

[note: in a previous message, Rick has mentioned there is a limited block of hotel rooms available at the Hyatt Regency of Santa Clara. Here's the Hotel and Lodging link]

Dear Classmates,

Thank You

We want to thank all the classmates who attended the reunion events in July, and we would like to ask anyone with photos and/or memories to send them to geoff.gould@lhs68.net. We will share them on the class website and on future newsletters. Special thanks go to Wayne Jasper, who led a tour of the campus, and Vicki CorlissTaylor and husband Landy, who volunteered to be grillmasters at the Sunday picnic. Oh, by the way, let's also thank Susan Albrecht Colbeck and husband Mark, who brought the cool vintage car that we posed with at the picnic.

LHS68 55th Reunion Save the Dates!

2023-03-04T10:41:51Z

Save the Dates! July 14-16

Dear phenomenal classmate,

Has it been 5 years? It's been almost 5 years since our 50th reunion in 2018, the last reunion party the Class of '68 organized.

Getting Back Together

We need to get together for our 55th! We put up a poll on Facebook to kick around reunion ideas, and the reunion planning committee met to discuss the results of the poll. While there are many possibilities, the numbers from the poll indicated most people would like to get together on a weekend for a Saturday dinner, a Sunday picnic, and perhaps a Friday night hangout to maybe start things off. For the moment, we'd like you to save the dates of July 14-16 for our 55th reunion event.

All in!

We want as many classmates as possible to attend and are trying to arrange our 55th to facilitate that. This is your opportunity to say what works for you and if you want, to get involved and lead or assist an event.

The reunion is planned for July 14-16, 2023. Let’s get together and have some fun!

The main web page you should bookmark for the LHS68 55th is LHS68.net/2023

In Conclusion

We'll be in touch with more info shortly, but wanted you to know the dates you need to save to attend our next get together!

Cheers,

Getting ready for the 55th!!

Dear phenomenal classmate,

This year we will be celebrating the 55th anniversary of our graduation.

To cut to the chase, if you are receiving this email, you're all set. There's nothing you need to do right now, as we're trying to figure out how many of the emails on the list are still valid. If you're interested, I'll post some info below, but much of it will be repeated later. Otherwise, you can stop reading now, if you like!

If you want to change your email address, or if you know of a classmate who you feel is not getting this, subscribe/unsubscribe instructions are at the bottom of this email.

We don't want to overload you. I promised not to spam you a decade ago, and obviously, have not sent any mailings out since the last reunion. As we approach the 55th, the next email communication will contain a rough outline of the June 22-24 weekends proposed activities, and that info will also be replicated on our Facebook page (Lynbrook High School Class of 1968) and our class website (LHS68.net)

At the moment, the reunion team of 5 years ago is looking at finding some events classmates may want to join in, around the weekend of June 23-25, 2023. There is a Mega Reunion planned for August 2024, but most classmates we've talked to prefer to do something this year also. Stay tuned, we are all looking forward to getting together this summer.

Cheers,

Geoff Gould

- Gathering at a bar
- Gathering at a restaurant
- Staying a night or two at the same hotel (no organized dinner)
- Staying at hotel with organized dinner
- Gathering at an outdoor event/picnic
- Gathering at a winery (e.g. Lodi)
- Longstock in June as a satellite event
- organized tour of LHS campus

That's enough for now. We'll be sending out more info as soon as it becomes more solidified.

Lynbrook Class of 1968 List Last day for LHS brick fundraiser

2018-09-07T11:40:52Z

Dear Classmates,

After the wild Summer 50th Reunion activities, I felt exhausted, but glad we made it this far! I've been meaning to send out a sort of 'wrap up newsletter,' but this is not it. That will come soon.

Many of you have already seen Wayne Jasper's notices on the LHS 68 Facebook Group page, but not everyone is on Facebook. So, if you've somehow missed it, I wanted to give you a last call for this current campaign to help the school. Here's the info Wayne's been posting.

The Lynbrook High School Class of ‘68 will be getting bricks to

Commemorate the 50 years since our graduation
To support Lynbrook High School and its athletic programs.

Classmates have expressed an interest to purchase bricks of their own and have them placed with our commemorative bricks.

The bricks are 4” x 8” for $100, (3 lines, 23 characters/line), and 8” x 8” for $175, (6 lines, 23 characters/line). 19 characters/line if using a logo. Logos include Viking logo and various sports images.

If you are interested in getting a brick for yourself or a fellow classmate, and having it with other class of ‘68 classmates:

Purchase it directly by going to the website, AND
Let me know that you’d like your brick placed with the class of ‘68, so I can coordinate its placement with the school.

For those that have already given me your requests, I will contact you to confirm the wording and order your brick.

To order a brick go to:
https://www.engravedbricks.com/campaign/Lynbrook

When ordering your brick, add “Please place with other LHS class of 1968 bricks”, in the comment section.

Please place your orders and let me know you did by September 7, so. I can work with the school to arrange how and where our bricks will be placed.

My brick is shown below. I am planning to have it moved to be with other ‘68ers. If you already have one, and would also like it moved, let me know by September 7. I will help make it happen.

If you have any questions, email me.

Wayne has told me there are already 9 bricks, beyond the ones that already existed, bought for this new wave. I think a lot of people would like to do something to help the school, and this seems like a good way.

Cheers,

Lynbrook Class of 1968 List Last notes about weekend reunion events

2018-06-22T15:13:59Z

Heading out soon for Santa Cruz,

I thought it would be a good idea to touch on a few important points. At this juncture, it's AOK, ready to go!

Friday
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk Hang

I just got off the phone with Rob Karr, and he plans to be at the group picnic deck area (if no one is occupying it, we'll sit there) on the beach side of the Coconut Grove end of the Boardwalk

We can see the bandstand from there. Classmates will be at that location to meet-up from roughly 4-8.

The first free band performance is @ 6:30PM

We plan to head off to dinner before the second band set starts. 10 years ago, that was about 8PM

I will post more info on the LHS68 Facebook page once I get there, and start posting photos. If you have some photos to share, either post them on the facebook page, or email them to me, and I'll put them on the site.

I have a portable voicemail you can use if you're lost, or having trouble locating us. Call (415) 251-6991 and leave a message. It will instantly be sent to my cell phone, and I'll call you back.

Saturday
Longstock Music Festival http://lhs68.net/2018/Longstock.html

A handful of musicians from the Class of '68 (Euphemistically called the Class of '68 All Stars!) will be playing a short set around 2PM. Howie Webber and the Webber Bros Band will be playing a set right afterwards. The most important thing is there has been a problem with Google Maps when trying to find the address. It turns out it's better if you tell the map to look in Santa Cruz instead of Los Gatos. So, here's the address to use:

14350 Long Ridge Rd, Santa Cruz, CA

That should work in almost any map program. Once again, leave me a message at (415) 251-6991 and I'll call you back (unless I'm onstage playing!)

Sunday Picnic at Portal Park 11:30AM-3:30PM Check out Cupertino Park Dept website on the park

We need to have a good idea of how many are attending the picnic at Portal Park on Sun, June 23rd, 11:30-3:30. Anyone is welcome- your families or other Lynbrook alumni who want to see people. We are serving burgers, hotdogs, chicken, soft drinks, wine and beer. We ask that you make a monetary contribution on-site appropriate for what you consume.

Sunday Night 50th Anniversary Dinner

For those of you that have reserved your space at the dinner, at the Hilton DoubleTree Pruneyard. Cocktails will be at 5PM, Buffet Dinner at 6:30PM, event ends at 10PM.

Monday Morning?

There will probably be a group of classmates at the Hilton DoubleTree Pruneyard having breakfast together in the morning before we check out. If I find anything more specific, I'll post it.

See You Soon!
