Reunion 50+ Is a Month Away

We are just about one month away from our 50+ Reunion Party on October 1 at the APA Hotel in Iselin. NJ.   As of today, we have 125 people coming to the party to relax, have fun and reminisce about growing up in Irvington.   While we think that is a remarkable number to be getting together after 51 years, there are a number of you who previously indicated you wanted to come, but who have not yet registered.  

We recently came across this blog 50 Reasons Why You Need To Go To Your 50th High School Reunion | HuffPost Post 50 which lays out some reasons why you might want to join us.  Some are corny but some are spot on. 

If you’re not attending, know you will be missed.    

Last minute decision to attend? We must have your money by 9/15/22. Email the team at ihsclassof1971 at gmail.com

We Made It

Hello Classmates – today was our deadline and we are pleased to announce we have secured the venue. Accordingly, John Manning is cashing your checks for the deposit.

We also have good news that, for right now, we are still able to add people to the attendee list in case you forgot to send your check or your circumstances have changed which allows you to attend.

If that happens and you would like to attend, let us know by sending an email to the class account ihsclassof1971@gmail.com and then send your check to John ($115 per person).

This message went out as an email to our class list along with a copy of the original invite. If you’re not on our mailing list, send your contact info to our Gmail. If you’re on Facebook, follow our class group there for lots more photos and updates from classmates.
