“Meet and Greet Night” at Sergio’s Italian Restaurant, 5422 Merrick Road, Massapequa.
It’s right across the street from the Corner Galley. This turned out to be a great night, very informal, everyone seeing old friends, signing year books, laughing, and making plans to meet at the reunion, or just have dinner there. The last time we we held our Meet and Greet night at a local restaurant and drove out their patrons, there were so many of us. We expected about 35 people, but more and more people came. Needless to say we have changed restaurants. So, if you are making plans to come in for the reunion, think about Friday night too. It’ll be pay as you go and you won’t be sorry if you come.

The Timber Point Country Club, Great River, NY.
The Country Club is perfection. It is on the Great South Bay and we will enjoy a beautiful banquet room. And those of us that appreciate the outdoors can step out to the patio and the sprawling golf course.

Two hundred people attended our 40th reunion; we had a fantastic turnout after so many years. We were fortunate to book Express Band again, the same band we had at our 40th. Their music brought us way back in time to our Happy Days. We’ve tried to stay in touch with as many of our classmates as possible, but while we have lost contact with some of our classmates, happily, we have found many more.

So what to wear, summer casual. Guys, don't feel like you have to wear that suit or sports jacket, be comfortable. (Please no jeans) Ladies, we range from a long lounging frock to a pair of pretty capri's.

Directions. Take Southern State Pkwy east, following the signs to Heckscher Park. Take exit 45E, Route 27A - Montauk Hwy East. At the first traffic light make a right onto Great River Road. Go straight, this road will bring you right through the gates of the Timber Point Country Club. (631)581-0022. Click for a map.

The park is open to us at 9:00am but most people will come around noon. We’re in field D (nearest the restrooms). For those of us that don’t want the weekend to end, just mellow out, eat and drink until the next time……...
