Hello Classmates!

 

This will be a long E-Mail as I will be including everything (I hope) you ever wanted to know about our planned 55th (Wow!) reunion the weekend of September 27th-28th:

 

On Friday afternoon anyone who didn't attend our 50th celebration but is coming this time around and would like a tour of the High School, Ellen Marshall has kindly offered to provide this for you.  There are many significant changes in the building and we were stunned upon seeing them back in 2019.  If you might be interested please E-Mail Ellen at the address listed at the end of this E-Mail.  For those of you who were Brunner's aficionados, feel free to start your Happy Hour there and then wander down to Adam's Rib later!

 

Friday evening we will have an informal gathering starting at 7 PM at Adam's Rib located at 4517 Main Street slightly east of the High School.  There is parking available both behind the restaurant and in the Snyder Fire Department parking lot off Bernhardt Drive which is also just east of the restaurant.  They have wonderful food so if you choose you can come early to eat!  If you are from out-of-town and need better directions don't hesitate to reach out once you arrive in Buffalo.  I will provide phone numbers and E-Mails for our planning committee members at the bottom of this letter.  

 

Saturday will be our "formal" gathering at Sean Patrick's located at 3480 Millersport Highway just past North French Road near the UB North Campus.  Registration will begin at 5:30 PM with dinner to be served at 6:30 PM.  There will be a Cash-only (no cards) Bar available for cocktails, wine, beer, pop and juice. The charge for Pop/Juice will be $3.50 per.  The menu is as follows:  House Special Potato Soup and Salad served by staff, followed by a Buffet-style meal including Carved to order Top Round of Beef, Bourbon-Glazed Meatballs, Boneless Breast of Chicken w/Marsala sauce, Baby Red Smashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Warm Rolls with Butter and Ice Cream with Chocolate sauce for dessert.  There will be freshly brewed Coffee, Decaf and Tea available as well.  The cost is $40/person and must be paid in advance.  Checks for the full amount should be made payable to ACHS Class of 1969 and mailed to Ellen Marshall at 110 Saratoga Road  Snyder, NY  14226 no later than August 28th.  

 

We already have a short list of those who will be attending so if you are looking to see if your friends have already committed, let me know and I will be happy to send you their names. If everyone uses the double-arrow to respond you will see who else is making a reservation.  We are really hoping to have at least 50-60 classmates anxious to catch-up, and a limit of 90 people for the venue so please make your intentions known sooner than later.  We wouldn't want you to miss out on this fun event!

 

We have purposely left Sunday free for you to explore all that Buffalo has to offer currently, spend time with friends you've re-discovered, or with family/friends who may still live in the area.  There is a Bills' home-game Monday night September 23rd if you are interested and might be arriving early in the week, as well as a Sunday night game on the 29th, with the Bills playing the Ravens in Baltimore.

 

For those of you coming from out-of-town and are looking to book a hotel room we have a plethora of options both near the airport and in and around the Amherst/Williamsville areas.  If you need any assistance with this please contact us.

 

We have enjoyed planning this reunion and look forward to seeing many of you in about two months..........
