3-Class 60 year Reunion
17 February 2021
Reunion Update
Greetings to all:
We are close to announcing our reunion venue for the October reunion! Special rates will include full breakfast, spacious rooms, and all the resources of the hotel. Be sure you make your reunion hotel reservations at our venue, when announced, to get special prices and features.
Many of us have started to receive COVID vaccinations to combat the possibility of infection. There are signs too, that the number of new cases is declining as fewer are being reported. Now, if the vaccine supplies continue, we may see some light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. Additionally, since our age group is among those now receiving the vaccine, we should all have the opportunity (if we elect to receive) to complete the course of vaccine.
We continue looking for members of the class of 1960 and 1962. A roster of class members (60’ & 62’) have been added to the Guest Member area to provide easier registration. By registering, future reunion information will be sent directly and allow member to member communication. It is now easier to register,
October 22nd and 23rd, 2021
Members of Tempe High Schools Class of 1961 got together in late October to put in motion plans for 60 year class reunion. A recent survey of classmates was reviewed. The survey supported the groups decision to go forward to plan a reunion now scheduled for October 22nd and 23rd, 2021. Here are some of the Goal/Objectives the group are already working on.
- Establish a date to hold the reunion.
- Select a venue to host the reunion.
- Extend an open invitation to the Class of 1960 and 1962 to join us in a 60 year reunion celebration.
- Use the Class of 1961 web site, www.tempe61.com, as a portal to coordinate participation activities, register Guest Members and distribute and other information regarding the reunion.
- Seek assistance from classmates to have a great 60 year celebration.
The Reunion Committee of this 3-class reunion will work to:
- Provide more time and opportunities for conversations with fellow classmates from all three classes.
- Provide additional organized activitees to attend Local Tempe Tours, Historic sites, Visits to Tovrea Castle, Tempe History Museum or other historic sites.
