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

Posted

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 reopened for gatherings of up to 150 guests as of March 15, 2021. They have installed a new electrostatic filtration system for the hall. They are 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.

 The details of masking/social distancing requirements at the Saturday evening event are in flux. Obviously, we plan to accord with all legal requirements about indoor events--and we will respect and accommodate social norms--at the time the event occurs in August. We are open to creative ideas, and we want to make all attendees comfortable.

Side-events--both outdoor and indoor--for the entire weekend are also underway, including both outdoor and indoor events. We'll keep you posted!

Wantagh High 50th Reunion, Class of 1970 FAQ

Posted
 [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?
