50th Reunion Information

COVID-19 UPDATE ...
 

Hello Loara Class of 1970. It was 50 years ago that we graduated from high school!  It seems just like yesterday.

With the current Covid-19 issues and the various mandates to socially distance here in California, we would like to take a moment to bring everyone up-to-date on our reunion plans.
 

OUR PLANS FOR OUR 50TH REUNION HAVE BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL A YET TO BE DETERMINED DATE IN 2021.
 

Due to recent concerns over COVID-19, the Loara Class of 1970 50th Reunion committee has decided to postpone the event until 2021.  Your concerns and feedback were helpful in making this decision.

With respect to future announcements and up-to-date information, we will keep all major and minor platforms of communication open including our Class Facebook Group, the Loara Class of 1970 website, the Class's gmail account, plus the Loara HS Facebook Group, the Loara Saxons Alumni Association Facebook Group and their website, and Classmates.com.   Once we have a better understanding of the Covid-19 restrictions and reopenings, we will announce a new date.  In the meantime, the "Yes" and "Maybe" RSVP list will remain the same; however, the "No" list will be reset.

If you have already purchased your tickets and/or made a donation and wish to receive a refund, please email me at janfoy@gmail.com. Indicate how you‘d like your refund sent: Venmo, PayPal, Zelle or check (with mailing address).  If you want us to keep your ticket payment, we will hold the funds in the reunion account for next year.  

Please contact The Atrium Hotel in Irvine to cancel your hotel reservations if you made them.

We are disappointed and know you are too, BUT we’ll have a much more relaxed time in 2021!

Thank you for your understanding.
