Syosset High School Class of 1960 50th Reunion

<sup>The Organizing Committee for the 50th Reunion of the Syosset High School Class of 1960 (also inviting the Classes of '59, '61 & '62) is pleased to announce that our Reunion will be held on Friday, September 24th through Sunday, September 26th, 2010 at the Melville Marriott, 1350 Old Walt Whitman Road, Melville, NY 11747.  The hotel will be holding a limited "block" of rooms (at $105.00 per night plus tax) for our group.  The hotel computer will be ready to accept reservations for the "Syosset HS Class of 1960 Reunion" group AFTER November 1, 2009.

The ticket price per person for the Reunion Weekend will be $140.00, which will include a cocktail hour with appetizers, a 3-hour open bar, a full buffet dinner, desserts and a DJ for dancing on Saturday night.  A Hospitality Room will be open to our group and will be available starting late Friday afternoon and throughout the weekend.  All other meals and beverages in any of the hotel bar and grill or lobby restaurants on Friday, Saturday morning/afternoon and on Sunday will be an individual responsibility.

Since we will be issuing non-refundable deposits to the hotel and all of our other vendors, all checks will, likewise, be non-refundable.

If you definitely plan to join us for a fabulous 50th Reunion Weekend, please mail your non-refundable check, drawn to the order of the "Syosset High School Class of 1960 Reunion," to cover each $140 ticket you will require.  All checks are to be mailed to the Syosset High School Class of 1960 Reunion, c/o Richard J. Glazer, 1180 Heron Road, Cherry Hill, NJ 08003.

First, please email a member of the committee to obtain the Contact Information Form.

Based on the huge success of the 2005 Reunion, we fully expect to have an even much bigger turnout, especially since the word has been spreading exponentially since then and has, over the past 4 years, reached a very large number of people who, regrettably, were not there in 2005.

More details and Reunion Weekend information will be issued as we move forward.  In the interim, please feel free to contact any one of us if you have any questions.

See the Swamp next to Syosset High School.  It was created c. 1910 when the Long Island Rail Road excavated dirt to be sent to the Jamaica LIRR station; a deep channel was left that now goes under Southwoods Road.
