Also - returning by popular demand - on Saturday night will be our favorite BayWay band - THE OTHERS - Bill Papworth, John Kogge, and Larry Galazin from the class of 1968, and our very own Dave Dixon and Ray Schilens. Be sure to bring your dancing shoes as they pound out some old favorites!

NOTE: A number of folks are asking what the expected dress is for the reunion - especially Saturday night. This is a CASUAL weekend. Men are NOT expected to wear coats and ties to any of the events. Golf shirts are fine! Ladies are encouraged NOT to wear heals because we’ll either be on grass or uneven surfaces. Just come and have fun!

BAY HIGH SCHOOL TOUR
If you want to join us for a tour of the high school - Matt Spellman - the current Athletic/Activities Director at the high school - will be conducting a tour on Saturday, July 27. We are to meet Matt at the main door of the High School at 10:00am. When you enter the High School from Wolf Road, the main door has a canopy and is the first door you see when you drive in…..there are a few parking spots near that door and the main parking lot is further down the driveway. No RSVPs needed for this - just come on over and join in the fun. Good times for reminiscing! I wonder if we'll see any of our names on any of the photos or trophies or whatever....??

Registering for the Reunion - IMPORTANT!!
We will need to provide official numbers to the Friday and Sunday hosts, as well as to the Fuller House, so everyone is encouraged to get their RSVPs in ASAP. To collect all the required info, we are asking you to complete TWO different RSVP forms (both are easy and have different purposes), AND mail your $125 per person payment to us. Information about each is below:
PAYMENT - REQUIRED:
Cost for the 3-day event will be $125 per person. The cost is the same whether you come to one event or all 3 events. A number of classmates have donated private funds to keep the per person cost low for the rest of the class - so to make it easier on everyone we will have just the one price. Please send your check made payable to Nancy (Burbach) Flowers, and mail it to her at 31998 Pondside Dr, Avon Lake, OH 44012.
RSVP FORM - REQUIRED
Everyone PLEASE click on this link and fill out the RSVP form, so we can gather RSVPs for the Friday cocktail hour and the Sunday brunch (the Evite doesn't do that), and so we can guage interest in some possible additional events over the reunion weekend. (Even if you aren't attending you can fill out the top part of this form so we can confirm your contact info!) When you are finished with this form PLEASE also complete the official evite!
OFFICIAL EVITE - REQUIRED
We have created an online evite so for at least the main event everyone can track who else is coming. Evites only allow us to include one event - so we chose the Saturday event. Please note that there may be something on the Evite about bringing a gift - we can't seem to delete that. There is no gift! Ignore that request!
To see who is coming to the Saturday night event - just go to "VIEW INVITE" and along the left side click on GUESTS - that will show you the list of those who have responded. Hopefully seeing all your classmates responding for at least Saturday night will encourage you to attend!

Hotel for the 50th Reunion
We have reserved a block of 30 rooms at the DoubleTree by Hilton (Cleveland-Westlake) for the time of our reunion. We have the rooms for Friday, July 26, 2019 and Saturday, July 27, 2019. You can request one or both nights. There are both king size rooms and rooms with 2 double beds. Breakfast is included with this reservation (get a coupon at check-in). The rooms are $99/night (plus taxes).
Other details:
- Call the hotel directly at 440-871-6000 to reserve your rooms. Mention that you are part of the Bay HS Class of '69. (What a unique name!)
- The hotel is located at 1100 Crocker Rd., Westlake
- These rooms and this special rate is available through June 26, 2019.
If you want to use a different hotel that is totally fine! We did check around other hotels in this area and found this price to be the best offered. Nearby there is a Holiday Inn Express, a Hyatt Place, a and a Red Roof Inn. Others are available if you want to go a little farther out. We choose the Double Tree because of price, location, the rooms were nice, and we thought the lobby area/pool would be very nice for classmates just wanting to hang out and visit.

HELP WITH THE REUNION PLANNING
If you are willing to help with the planning of the reunion - please let us know! There are many ways to help:

- Entertainment - if you have any ideas for special events to take place at the reunion (it could be on any of the 3 days) then please get in touch with us to work on that. So far Ray Schilens is helping here.
- Communications - if you are good with the computer and/or social media and can help us look for lost classmates - then please let us know. We started this job in early January 2018 and are still looking! The main committee is Sandi Blankner Gorman, Terri Mathes Baugus, Greg Ellis, Randy Perry, Kirk Gorman and Carla Hirschfeld Mattmiller, but we are happy to add others to the list as well!
