Hey classmate,

It's time once again to mark your calendars and make plans for heading back to Gowanda, New York. Has it been 30 years all ready!!??

Our reunion this year is going to be a little different style. First -- you don't need to make reservations to let us know you're coming -- Just come!!
Secondly, The cost is very low! We're gonna take up a collection!
Third, You don't need to get all dressed up! 'Cause this time it's going to be a "fun filled, come as you are, family reunion style" PICNIC!!

We have reserved the Perrysburg Conservation club for the big event. There are picnic tables outside in a covered pavilion where we can eat and party. We can use the clubhouse and its facilities (rest rooms, fridge, sink, stove, etc.). There are horseshoe pits. We can play volleyball, throw a football, throw a Frisbee, etc., etc., etc., and most importantly -- shoot the breeze with classmates and friends.

YOU SHOULD BRING -- Your own table service, your own drinks and a dish to pass (baked beans, salads, desserts, chips, WHATEVER YOU LIKE). But most importantly --- BRING YOURSELF!!! And of course your wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever! We will have the grill going and provide the hot dogs and rolls and condiments. There is a stove if you need and outlets if you want to plug in a crockpot or whatever.

In case you don't know, the Perrysburg Conservation club is easy to find. Take Route 39 out of Gowanda to Perrysburg. At the main intersection in Perrysburg you turn left and go up Peck hill. The club is on the left hand side on top of the hill.

The date is Saturday, August 9. We will start gathering at 3pm, eat around 5pm, and talk the night away. If you come later than 6pm I'm sure there will be food left to eat so please, please, please come WHENEVER you can. We will "pass the hat" until we have enough money to pay for the club, postage for invitations, hot dogs, etc. If we get a good turnout 2 or 3 bucks per person should cover it.

SO -- MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW!!! THIS MAY BE THE ONLY NOTICE YOU GET!! Put this in a safe place so you will have the information it contains!! Don't lose it!! If you have questions you can call David Allen at (716) 257-9045
