Less than a week until our Golden 50th Reunion. Here's a heads-up on a few things.

2) The silent auction is cash, check, Venmo, or Zelle (no credit cards accepted).

3) Dress code is business casual or better.

4) Our shindig is upstairs. There is an elevator available for those who require/prefer it.

5) There is no valet parking; however there is parking at the venue and feel free to drop someone off at the front entrance.

6) The check-in desk is at the top of the stairs to the left, where you will collect your ID badge.

Any other questions? Please feel free message Cindy Averill Dennison Teri Druck-Vitters on Facebook Messenger or via email.
