Event Details
50 years--Time to celebrate!
Our location is the newly reimagined downtown St. Pete. Activities will include a poolside reception, the traditional dinner dance with a fabulous band we all know and love and some very special activities. Plus plenty of time to hang out and reminisce.
If you cannot picture St. Petersburg without rows of green benches filled with old people, you may be surprised. There is now an active art scene, a score of craft breweries and very hip restaurants. Central Avenue is now filled with coffee bars and murals. Everything downtown is easy to reach from our central location and still not too far from the beaches if you need a bit of sun and sand. If you just want to chill out and chat, our hotel has a great pool area and a convenient bar/restaurant/bakery.
Our 50th reunion is very special. Since we first announced it, we have heard from classmates near and far. We expect a great turnout. And the crew has been working hard to put together a program that is both inviting and affordable.
We are now selling early-bird tickets to two events: a casual get-together on Friday night and a slightly more dressy/casual Saturday night dinner dance with live entertainment. Come to one or--for the full 50-year reunion experience--come to both. Lots of other activities are being organized at no cost. So please join us for the weekend, or make it a mini-vacation and stay a little longer.
Location:
The Hollander Hotel is our base for reunion activities. It is in downtown St. Pete and has free parking, free shuttle service, a restaurant, a terrific pool/pool bar and a coffee shop/bakery. This is a historic hotel that has been completely renovated with all new features, including free wifi, a mini-fridge, micro-wave and coffee maker in each room. Check them out at www.hollanderhotel.com
There is no obligation to stay at the Hollander. If you choose to stay, we have negotiated a discounted rate for all those attending the reunion. The rates start at $107 for a standard queen and go to $159 for a deluxe suite.
