The schedule for our reunion has been finalized:
Friday, Oct. 16th, 4 pm to 8 pm: Borrelli’s, 1580 Hempstead Turnpike, East Meadow. We will meet in the back of the bar area (When you enter Borrelli’s, head to the left and go past the bar). Everything is on your own (happy hour ends at 6 pm). If everyone wants, we could order some pizzas.
Saturday, Oct. 17th, 12 noon: Meet in the semi-circle in front of Clarke, 740 Edgewood Drive, Westbury. You’ll see my car (silver Cadillac SRX) with signs and red “6” & “5” balloons. I’ll be there by 11:30 and will have snacks, water, soda, etc. I’ll also be handing out badges that will identify us for activities during the day. Try to get there by noon so we can head for the main lobby where members of the National Honor Society will provide us with a tour of the school. After the tour, we will head back to the semi-circle.
Saturday, Oct. 17th, 1 pm: Join us in the Little Theater to honor Pete White who will be inducted into the W. Tresper Clarke Hall of Achievement. After the ceremony, we’ll go to the front hall for the unveiling of Pete’s plaque and to the Faculty Room where there will be sandwiches, coffee, and cake.
Saturday, Oct. 17, 2 pm: Head to the football field for the Clarke football team Homecoming game. If you haven’t received your badge, please see me. Anyone who was on the football team when we were in school will be made an honorary Captain and will participate in the coin toss on the field. Our class members will be judges for the floats in the Homecoming Parade at halftime. The Parents and Boosters Club makes food for the Clarke football games including hot dogs, hamburgers, pulled pork, sausage & peppers, tacos, etc. Your badge will identify you for a discount on the food.
Saturday, Oct 17th, 6:30 pm – 10:30 pm: Dinner-Dance at Pompei Restaurant and Catering, 401 Hempstead Ave, West Hempstead. We’ll start with hot hors d’oeuvres followed by a buffet dinner with salad, 8 selections (pasta, chicken, veal, seafood, eggplant, spare ribs, vegetables, fruit platter) and 2 carvings (sliced steak & turkey). There will be a DJ, a 4-hour open bar, coffee/tea, and pastries. We’ll also do a group photo.
