We have arranged to have a tour of the high school in the morning and the possibility of presenting a Class of 1961 gift. We know the school |

Our traditional class dinner will take place at the Andover Country Club in Andover, MA. Dinner will be stations to allow classmates to move |
|
|

Sunday, October 2nd |
|
|
|
Sunday Breakfast - 9:00am - 11:00am - Embassy Suites, 550 Winter St., Waltham, MA (Exit 27B off I-95) |
|
|
|
As you can see from the enclosed accommodations information, we have reserved a block of rooms at the Embassy Suites in Waltham, |
|
|
|
(formerly the DoubleTree Inn.) We are reserving space at the Embassy Suites for their Sunday breakfast as a last opportunity of the |
|
|
|
weekend to meet with old friends. |
|
|
|
Your reunion committee has tried to plan a set of 50th reunion events that will be fun, low-key, and feature the opportunity to sit, talk, |
|
|
|
wander, catch up, and revive memories of four wonderful years before we all went our separate ways. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We hope you will plan to be with us this fall. Please review the enclosed reservation form for reunion events and lodging accommodation |
|
|
|
information at the Embassy Suites, should you be coming from a distance. We have arranged for very reasonable rates that will be |
|
|
|
budget-friendly. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please be sure to fill out the enclosed Classmate Questionnaire even if you don't plan to attend the Reunion weekend. The information will |
|
|
|
be compiled and mailed out after the reunion on CD-ROM. Pictures from the reunion will be included. A copy will be sent to all who could |
|
|
|
not attend but have taken the effort to fill out the questionnaire. Feel free to send a current photo, high school era snap shots or clippings |
|
|
|
you might want displayed. Please label the back of any photos you provide. If you enclose a SASE, these items will be returned to you. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We realize that budgets are tight these days, but please consider making a donation to help purchase a gift for the high school. There is a |
|
|
|
place on the Registration Form to include a donation. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, please go to the class website, http://www.lexington1961.org, to check out classmate listings, photos, memorabilia and updates on |
|
|
|
events as the fall approaches. We plan to add items of interest monthly. |
