Good Times!

Thanks again to everyone who came out last night. Here are my pictures of the evening. A few are from the after party at Temple. Please send your photos to post to penfieldclass97@yahoo.com.

It's Here!

Tomorrow is the big day! For those of you who are working and can't make the reunion, there is no unofficial meet up. Call your friends, and see where we end up. For those that are attending the reunion, it starts at 7 pm. Please arrive on time, especially if you are buying tickets at the door. The Clarion staff will be processing ticket purchases.

Open bar starts at 8. Bring your camera. See you there!

Crummer's Tonight!!

Our first unofficial reunion gathering is tonight at Crummer's. Let's meet at 8:00pm for drinks and to catch up with old friends. Crummer's is located in Panorama Plaza, but if you went to Penfield, you should know that.

Thanks to our donors!

Another round of kudos is in order. First, a big thank you to Kevin White of Nothnagle Realtors for becoming a corporate sponsor. Kevin is also Penfield alum, and is married to Kristina (Hedberg) White. Thanks Kevin!

The following Rochester businesses have graciously donated raffle prizes to be given away at the reunion:

Bill Gray’s, Deer Run Winery, DiBella’s, Essentials, JoJo, Rochester Americans, Rochester Museum and Science Center, Salena’s, Salvatore’s, Seneca Park Zoo, Wendy’s, and Zweigles.

What to Wear?

Lately I have been getting emails about what to wear to the reunion. No official dress code has been set. Personally, I see the reunion as a networking opportunity and am dressing to impress. (Plus I never have the chance to get dressed up because I am in grad school). I would say shoot for business casual. But then again, I have heard some folks say they would wear jeans, and others refuse to wear a tie. I think it will be a mix of attire, so wear what is comfortable for you. The event is taking place at a semi-decent hotel, in a ballroom and lounge area.

There are still tickets left! Please encourage your classmates to attend.

Tickets Still Available! Buy Today!

It is not too late! There are still tickets available for the reunion. We would really prefer that you buy tickets ahead of time, rather than at the door. (However, if you need to buy tickets at the door, please arrive prompty at 7pm.) PayPal info is below, or email penfieldclass97@yahoo.com for an address to mail a check. I am happy to tell you we have added a pasta bar to the menu and upgraded the bar from house to brand names, like Smirnoff and Absolut. It's going to be a rocking time!

Please buy tickets ASAP!

Hi Guys! I just messaged a ton of you on Myspace. The planning committee would appreciate it if you bought your tickets to the reunion by next Wednesday (Oct 10) if you are fairly certain you are attending the reunion. In order for this reunion to take place, we need to make a sizeable down payment to the venue. While we're selling tickets at a decent pace, we're just not there yet.

WE COULD USE YOUR HELP! Please contact your friends and remind them to buy tickets soon. It is a big task to plan this party, we need help to make the event a success.

If you already bought a ticket, and I contacted you, I apologize. I don't have a copy of the attendees yet, but should be getting it soon. If you have a question, you can email me at penfieldclass97@yahoo.com

Use the Paypal link below to buy tickets. If you prefer, can also mail in check. Email me and I'll let you know where to send the check.

Thanks!
Mollie Tubbs

Details on the Reunion

Thanks to everyone who bought their tickets last week and took advantage of the discount price. You can buy tickets until November 1, so you have a little time to figure out travel plans.

I wanted to clarify the menu because I have gotten a few questions. The reunion will include a 3 hour open bar, followed by a cash bar. Hearty hot hors'derves will passed around by waitstaff and will be followed by coffee and dessert.

There was a suggestion to have a pre-reunion get together too. I am not sure if it will be on Wednesday (the night before Thanksgiving) or Friday (the night before the reunion). Rather than go to Crummers, someone suggested Timothy Patricks. It is very close to Crummers (up near Rinky Dink). I will post a definate plan the week of the reunion.

Finally, for those of you who didn't get invites, please check out our blog to buy tickets. www.phs1997.blogspot.com If you want to pay by check, I can give you the mailing adress of where to send the check.

Just a reminder today is the last day you can buy reunion tickets at the discount rate. So buy your's today! Paypal info is below or you can mail a check to Alissa VanMulem. If you need her address, email me at penfieldclass97@yahoo.com.

We are looking for prize donations that we can give away/sell at the reunion.

If your company or business would like to make a donation, please email me. I'd be happy to post a blurb/link on the blog about your gift.

Have a good weekend! Tell your friends to buy their tickets soon!
