NEW! ATTENDEES LIST for THE 50th REUNION

To Our 1954 Classmates: "The 50th"!!!  is fast approaching for a resevation form -- click here
The class of 1954 Reunion Committee is in the final stages of planning our fiftieth year reunion.  The theme we have chosen for this reunion is “As Time Goes By.”   The Class of 1955 has been invited to join in our celebration and we expect a large turnout.  We feel confident that this will be a most memorable event.

Our Reunion 2004 will be held at the Holiday Inn, 625 First Street in Alexandria.  The reunion celebration will begin on Friday, September 10, 2004, with the opening of our Hospitality Room, and will culminate with a dinner dance on Saturday evening, September 11, 2004.  The cost will be $75.00 per person.  But if you pay by August 1, 2004, we will be able to reduce your cost to $70.00 per person.  This will include the use of our Hospitality Room on Friday and Saturday, a cocktail hour, buffet dinner dance, an open bar for three hours, and dancing to the music of a disc jockey, featuring music from the 1940’s and 1950’s.  Additionally, we will have some great door prizes and a 50-50 cash drawing.  

 The Holiday Inn (703-545-6300) has set aside a block of rooms for Friday and Saturday nights at a rate of $129.00 per night, plus tax.  If you have special dietary needs you can contact the chef at least two weeks prior to the reunion and he will make every effort to accommodate that special need.

 We are also interested in obtaining names of your acquaintances and friends from other G.W. classes who might wish to attend the reunion.  We will include them in our mailings.

We are in need of additional committee members.  Please call, write, or e-mail, and volunteer to help to make our fiftieth reunion a memorable one.

 Please mark your calendar and join us for a wonderful reunion on September 10 and 11, 2004.

Our class has been having very successful luncheons beginning around 11:30 a.m., on the second Monday of every other month at the Old Country Buffet located at 7820 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, Virginia, with about 30-35 classmates and special friends from the GWAA in attendance. For instance, during year 2004 they will be on April 12, June 14, August 9, October 11, and December 13, 2004. Try to join your classmates for this day of reminiscing and just having a good time.
