Dear TAFT Classmates:

Greetings from your Reunion Committee!  We sincerely hope everyone is having a good year thus far and you survived the cooler winter months wherever you are.

First, we want to remind you of our wonderful website at www.taftreunion1959.com.  It continues to get rave reviews as we keep adding information and highlights from recent Class Reunions and activities.  If you want to take a trip down Memory Lane, catch up with other Classmates, or read about our future plans for Reunions and get-togethers, the website is the place to go.  We encourage you to check it often.

Second, we want to let you know that, on Saturday evening, October 6, 2012, we will be holding our 53rd Reunion at the Des Plaines Hilton Garden Inn, where we held our 50th, 51st, and last year’s 52nd Reunion.  For these annual Reunions, we have been averaging over 60 attendees, and we encourage you to mark your calendars now and plan to attend our 53rd Reunion.

Third, guests are most welcome and encouraged to attend!  We had graduates and spouses from TAFT January classes of 1959 and 1960 join us at the 52nd Reunion.  We encourage more members from those classes, and others, to join our future reunions and get-togethers.  So, feel free to contact any of your friends from other Classes, invite them to join us, and then send their contact information to any of us.

We again plan to keep the evening simple, meaningful, memorable, and fun!  We will have a short welcoming reception, display some memorabilia, show a 15 minute DVD of recent reunions, take a Reunion Photo, offer some unique raffle prizes, enjoy a wonderful full course meal, and spend lots of time catching up with each other.  So, please plan to join us!  Early this summer we will be sending a short letter and reservation form, which will include an agenda for the evening and a farewell breakfast the next morning.  The letter also will discuss how you can reserve a room at a reduced rate at the Hilton Garden Inn if desired.  Of special note, in working closely with the Hilton Garden Inn, we have been able to reduce the price this year, so the cost per person will be just $48.00, including gratuity, which is less than past years. 

Finally, keep an eye on your e-mail for periodic updates, and, look for the 53rd Reunion reservation packet in your regular mail this summer.  All of us hope to see you this fall and whenever we have an opportunity to be “Together Again!”

If you have questions or comments, please feel free to contact any of us.  Our contact information is on the website.  Or, at any time, you may certainly contact our Class President, Larry Marsh, at 540-869-2644, fairseas2u@gmail.com…. or our Class Vice President, Barbara Knudson-Newlin, at 804-272-5162, barbara.newlin@verizon.net.  All of us would welcome hearing from you!

Your Reunion Committee,

TAFT June 1959
Special Then, Special Now,
“Together Again!”…and Staying Together
