The Largo High School Class of 1961 50th Reunion is only 6 short months away! As we all know too well, time is marching by too quickly and, sadly, this will be the last BIG reunion for the LHS Class of ‘61. Future reunions, if any, will be planned as a one-day local event [hopefully every 2 years] and will probably be combined with the LHS classes of 1960 and 1962.
Thanks to all of you who returned your LHS’61 50th Reunion Questionnaire ~ you helped your committee plan this reunion! The LHS’61 50th Reunion Schedule of Events is printed on the reverse of this letter. In addition, the Reunion Registration Form is included. The cost, per person, is $75.00. Please fill out the Registration form and return it as soon as possible! Also attached is information for those of you who plan to stay at the Holiday Inn Harbourside.
We’re looking forward to seeing everyone, especially for the Reunion’s Gala Event on Saturday May 21st, 2011! We’re all sure to enjoy a memorable evening renewing old friendships, dancing and/or listening to music that tugs at the heart and is sure to stirs lots of old memories!
