Dear fellow classmates,

Mark your calendars and plan to attend the Class of '54/50th Anniversary Reunion...

 

Date:

Saturday, June 26, 2004 (Day before Alumni Picnic at NHHS Quad)

Time:

"6 'ish"

Place:

Woodland Hills Hilton & Towers, at Warner Center, Woodland Hills (at Canoga Avenue & Victory Boulevard)

Dress:

Smart/Casual. Appropriate attire. Ladies: (optional) One/two piece dresses, dressy pant suits, street length dresses. Gentleman: (optional) sport shirts, coats, slacks, suit & tie.

 

Our 50th Anniversary bas has been planned early to enable us to obtain the best location, a great meal at the best prices, a well planned-in-advance program, dinner background music "not competing with conversations", special door prizes donated by classmates, 5O's dance music late in the evening, seeing & chatting with long ago friends, a prepared Memory Book that will arrive ninety days later at your door, special group discount rates for overnight hotel guests and lastly you will be provided with fond memories of this special night together. We have already located 60% of our class and the list continues to grow!

 

We have a dedicated Reunion Committee of some twenty classmates that have been diligently giving hours of their time, paying "out of pocket" initial reunion expenses and working hard to assure you an evening that you will long remember!

To be assured of meeting our $12,000 hotel/function guarantee, your Reunion Committee is providing a most creative incentive payment plan that rewards the "Early Birds" who purchase their Reunion Entry Ticket(s) in any one of three available pay periods prior to March 1, 2003.

NOW TO THE SERIOUS STUFF! It may seem a bit soon to be paying for an event which is still just under two years away, but your timely response to this request is crucial to the holding and eventual success of the event; We have already made a non-refundable $1,500 deposit to the Hilton. But in addition, your committee will be held personally responsible for an additional $10,500!

 

There is a caveat to the above. We do have up to June 2003 to cancel the event and not be responsible for anything more than the $1,500 initial deposit. This means we have less than one year to know where we stand financially and if we will be able to hold our 50th Anniversary Reunion. BUT WE MUST KNOW WELL BEFOREHAND WHAT OUR ATTENDANCE IS LIKELY TO BE… before any final commitments can be made. The one way we can guarantee the holding and success of our reunion is by having everyone completing their RSVP and sending it as soon as possible. Thus the “Early Bird” incentive.

 

If we do not receive the necessary support needed and the event should be cancelled, your Reunion Committee will return all payments received, less out-of-pocket expenses which were incurred up to that point… apportioned equally among all who made payments early.

Kids, we really need your support on this one and hope you will agree with your committee that it is worth the effort to ACT NOW. Your cooperation makes all of the difference. Thank you!

All of your friends of the class of 1954 are very welcome to attend! We eagerly anticipate seeing you and spending this evening with you Stay Well!

 

Sincerely yours,

 

Class of 1954/50th Anniversary Reunion Steering Committee,
