It's time, time to start planning the LV Class of 1976 45th Class Reunion!! Need to hear from you classmates on ideas for this reunion. For the past few reunions we have made it a three day weekend event to allow more opportunities for class members to participate. The schedule has been: Friday night football game and tailgate, Saturday night gathering at a local restaurant/bar and Sunday afternoon family picnic that we invite all the classes from 70 to 79 to join us.
Would love to hear your ideas and thoughts on a schedule and locations. No date has been set but we are most likely looking at a mid September weekend, if we incorporate the football game. Feel free to recommend dates. We know we won't be able to accommodate everyone but we want to do our best.
Also need some of you to volunteer to help with the planning, so give me a call, text or email: Wade Wetzel 740-323-6344 or [email protected]
