UPCOMING REUNIONS
NILES EAST CLASS OF 1973 -- 50th REUNION JUBILEE
To quote one of our distinguished sages from the 1970s, "Elizabeth, this is the big one!"
Since graduation, we've run this marathon that we call life-- climbed the mountians, basked in the sunshine of the valleys, and done everything in between (including plague and politics); and we deserve a very special party to celebrate our accomplishments! The reunion committee is pulling out all the stops to give you that special party and mark its milestone in our lives.
When: Saturday, July 15th, 2023 at 6:30 pm
Where: Embassy Suites, Deerfield: 1445 Lake Cook Rd, Deerfield, IL 60015
Cost: Approximately $100
Silly old-timer, buffets are for kids! This will be a sit-down catered dinner at a venue suited to our senior stature--Super Dawg? No, not that much fun. The main shindig will be at Embassy Suites in Deerfield from 6:30 pm to midnight. There will be a cocktail hour with drinks and appetizers, followed by a sit-down dinner with a choice of 3 entrees, vegan included. We have also reserved a block of rooms for anyone wishing to stay at the hotel. We can talk about the beautiful dining room and special decorations and centerpieces too, but the main attraction is YOU. Since this is a big one, help us to assure a great turnout.
Trojan Action Points:
- To help us plan how much food to order, we ask that you write back and let us know if you are planning on attending
- We are asking that you remit a $25 per person non-refundable deposit to reserve your spot(s). Any excess funds will go toward helping your fellow classmates that may not be able to afford the full reunion cost. We are estimating a total cost of $100 per person. Your $25 will be applied towards the full cost. There are 4 ways to pay:
- Pay by Zelle to Marty Singer (847) 987-0506
- Pay by Venmo: Username -- Marty-Singer-3; email Nileseast73@gmail.com
- Pay by PayPal to Nileseast73@gmail.com
- The 1973 way: Mail a check made out to Martin S. Singer and mail to Marty Singer, 812 Swallow Street, Deerfield, IL 60015
- Where's Waldo: If you keep in touch with classmates that are not that sophisticated with those social media sites -- you know, Facial Booklet, Instagramma, and Twister-- please tell them we are planning the reunion of the century and help them contact us.
Looking forward to catching up and creating new memories, while laughing and smiling about the old!
