We're all slowing down, and some have trouble getting around. But don't let that keep you from our  55+1 Reunion on FRIDAY 9-24. Bluff City Grill is easily accessed by front door on Broadway, then elevator upstairs. Or enter parking deck on side street, then just a few level steps to the banquet area. All wheelchair accessible.

Registration forms are starting to come in! Send yours in SOON. We will soon start posting a list of WHO IS COMING here on the website, so get your name on the list ASAP. If you can't print the official form (click on 55+1 REUNION REGISTRATION FORM at top of page), just write your info on a plain piece of paper and mail with your check to Bonnie at address on the form.
