Tucson, Arizona - June 27, 2004
Dear Fellow Alum, We are fast approaching the multi-year reunion of our alma mater. New York seems to be rolling out the red carpet to meet us! Some of us will just let the occasion pass, but many will celebrate the event and reminisce about those good times we had at DAHS and renew friendships with old friends. |
Think reunions are passe? Think again!
I was contacted by a producer for a nationally known talk show hostess and former WNBC-TV newscaster (whose name I am not allowed to write here -- but I can give hints... have you watched the morning news today? There's no dateline. I wonder where my Doonesbury comic went...). This hostess will be premiering her brand new nationally syndicated network talk show in the fall, and wants to interview 10-15 women who graduated between 1970 and 1979 for a piece she is doing on reunions and lifestyles. The committee have agreed to allow the NBC cameras at the reunion briefly to shoot some footage for use in this segment. We encourage ALL women who are attending the reunion to consider being interviewed and letting the world know about your passions, or simply grabbing your 15 minutes of fame! For more information about this unique and promising opportunity, please contact Nancy Becker Remson '75 IMMEDIATELY at (631) 654-8576 or (631) 987-8000 or drop her a line, right now. |
A block of rooms is being held at the Econolodge in Hicksville for those who wish to stay near Levittown for our big weekend. The room rate is $89 per night, single or double, but I am working on the manager to further reduce the rate, should we fill more rooms. Please make your reservations directly with the hotel and mention the DAHS Class Reunion to take advantage of the reduced rate. Hurry! |
So, Who Is Coming? Click here to see who is planning to come to our reunion. Keep in mind, not all names appear on the list, as I receive registrations daily, but do not update as frequently.
Registration: The DEADLINE A Few Words About The Deadline: Officially, the deadline for registration is July 9. This is our caterer's rule. We would accept all your registrations up to the last moment at the door, if we could, but that's just not possible. The caterer needs to know how many she is serving and only allows for 5-10% wiggle room. I've already promised a few people they could pay at the door with cash, but this is strictly on a first come, first serve basis. At this point, the maximum number of people we figure we can accept at the door is 10-15. We don't want to turn anyone away, so please, get your registration and payment in to me ASAP or talk to me if you're thinking about paying at the door. |
Update on planned events: Your reunion committee have been working hard! Don (Filipelli) Davidson, who will serve as our DJ on Saturday night, has spent a lot of time hovering over the details and getting everything ready for us -- from catering to music and more. A big thank you goes to Don from all of us for his efforts!
Luke, Nancy, Dave and Debi have been drumming up publicity and covering logistics. I've been busy too, keeping you informed of our progress and processing your registrations. We've all really enjoyed this project so much! It's been a real pleasure speaking with all our classmates again. We can't wait to see you... speaking of which... We know you will want to attend the pre-party on Friday, July 16 at the newly renovated Classics Sports Bar & Grill, 3271 Hempstead Turnpike, Levittown, diagonally across from K-Mart (formerly TSS), on the NW corner of Hempstead Tpke and Jerusalem Avenue. This is the grand re-opening of this fine establishment under noew ownership, and we have been invited to break the place in! WTG! |
Remember TFC? They were Division's official garage band, circa 1972-1975. They'll be there as well as Don's new band Blacklight, performing classic hits from the '60s and '70s. Special guests include 3ManRush, with our friends Dave Clark '75, Jay Hallet '74, and Al Koch '75, who do a lot of their own stuff, plus music we can sing along with, too! Danny Lynch has promised to give us a special set of Neil Young favorites. Who knows who else will show up and jam? All are invited -- maybe they'll even play a few songs that we chicks can sing along with? At this rate, we may have Springsteen join us! Don't miss this. Cover is only $5 and you don't need a reservation -- just show up and bring your friends!
Check the chart below for more information, and of course, write or call me with questions. See you Soon! Trina Cattler Wallace |
