Wantagh High 50th Reunion, Rescheduling Info, Weekend of Aug. 14, 2021

Posted

Hello again to the members of the Wantagh Class of 1970:

 

We hope all remain healthy and safe. Covid 19 created a very difficult year for all of us.

 

We wanted to briefly update the Class on the plans for the celebration of our 50th reunion.

At the current time, the 50th reunion celebration remains tentatively scheduled for the weekend of August 14, 2021. 

 

In accordance with New York guidelines,  Memorare Hall in Seaford is reopening for gatherings of up to 150 guests as of March 15, 2021 and is booking events throughout the remainder of the year. The Class of 1970  continues to reserve the evening of Saturday August 14, 2021 for our 50th reunion celebration.

 

While  recent news regarding the vaccine rollout and Covid health data has been encouraging,  due to continued uncertainty, we plan to defer until  mid-April or May a final decision on going forward with the reunion in August.  Stay tuned here for more details!

 

We are particularly aware of the difficulties for our classmates who would have to travel and arrange accommodations to attend the reunion.

 

Though unfortunately continuing to frustrate many, the vaccine rollout in New York continues to improve. We hope similar improvement is occurring outside New York and that all of our classmates desiring a vaccine are able to obtain one at the earliest possible time.

 

Good luck and best wishes to all!

The Committee

Thank you for the information. Are there plans for the next day such as a tour of the high school, etc. as originally scheduled in 2020? I loved attending Sunrise Park, Wantagh Jr., Sr. Moved to Az my sr. year. Have the fondest memories of Wantagh Sr. & classmates! Warmest wishes to those planning this reunion!

Wantagh High 50th Reunion Rescheduled to Weekend of Aug. 14, 2021

Great News! Our 50th reunion celebration is now definitively scheduled for the weekend of August 14, 2021.   (Yes, it's maybe now technically a 51st reunion! But, maybe by continuing to call it what it is--our 50th reunion--we can all think of ourselves as a year younger? It would be lovely to think the COVID year is simply expunged and the clock is rewound!) Memorare Hall in Seaford has graciously kept their commitment to us to prioritize our re-booking. We got our first choice for the date. With many reunions and graduations rescheduling and reopening in the wake of the year of COVID, and with the new relaxations of NY State guidelines in the wake of vaccinations and a reduction of COVID infections, we are grateful to all involved in accomplishing this rescheduling. A few notes:  You can ask questions at any time by emailing Tom Douglas. You can buy tickets at any time through our secure website interface. In accordance with New York guidelines,  Memorare Hall in Seaford reo

Wantagh High 50th Reunion, Class of 1970 FAQ

 [Newly revised and updated, May 9, 2021] Here are some questions you may have about our upcoming Wantagh High 50th Reunion, rescheduled for the weekend of August 13-15, 2021 , with the Saturday night dinner on August 14, 2021 . Is Aug. 14, 2021 a definite, booked date with a booked venue for the dinner? And is Aug. 13-15 the definite weekend? I don't want to book an airline ticket unless it's definite. This is a definite, booked date. We are booked and committed. We are confident moving forward because of the improved outlook in the wake of vaccinations and the reduction of recent infections from the coronavirus, and  in part because of the extraordinary turnout we had for the 40th Reunion. See our updated 50th Reunion post for more info. I'm interested in attending but not ready to commit. How do I show my interest? Post a comment to either our Facebook page or in the comment section below. I'm not receiving email notices or updates. How do I sign up?
