FHHS CLASS OF 1978 PARTY PLANS

 Here’s the latest on our reunion planning. Book now to hold your space!!

Please mark your calendar, make your travel plans, and get ready to reconnect with a group of truly awesome people. Your attendance might just make someone's day 🙂

What: Our 45th High School Reunion

When: Saturday, 9/30; 6pm - close

Where: Mount Vernon Yacht Club

Cost: $45 per person for our 45th!; Plus 1s are welcome at the same rate.

The Mt. Vernon Yacht Club is easy to get to and has a wonderful set up: A big room for music and eating; a side room for more intimate conversations and a bar; and a wide deck with tall chairs and a gorgeous view out to the Potomac.

El Paso will cater our event starting with guac, veggies, and fresh chips. Then they'll put out a full taco spread with plenty of meat and veg options. And on the side will be serving their famous margaritas. Yum! We will also supply some beer, wine, and water but please feel free to bring any favorite drinks of your own; you'll have access to a large refrigerator and plenty of ice.

All this, including the room rental, will cost you only $45. We guarantee you'll leave full of food and with some great new memories.

Attire is casual, of course. This is the Class of '78 🙂

Payments are due no later than 8/30. You can make payments directly to me that will be deposited into a dedicated Class account I set up at Burke & Herbert. Venmo or Zelle are easist to track. My Venmo is: @Janie-DowneyMaxwell. My Zelle is set up under my mobile #: 207-233-3339. If you pay digitally, please make note that this is for the FHHS Reunion. Or, if you'd rather write a check, please make that to Janie Downey and send it to 210 E. Windsor Ave, Apt 3, Alexandria, VA 22301.

In addition to our party, there will be a Full Class Reunion to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Fort Hunt so we hope you'll stay for the whole weekend!
