Class of '63,
The two party animals here in Virginia will be there!!!
Let's get some good dance music. Let's think beyond just the 50s & 60s. How about some of the 70s music - lots of great songs from those years. The 80s...???
I'll do name tags again just with bigger print this time. Sure noticed a lot of folks looking at former classmates three times and the photo on the name tag before they realized who they were looking at. Have we changed that much???
Question? Why only until 10 PM? Is there a city wide curfew in force or something? Do old folks have to be home by 10:30? It's not like we can retire to the Royal Castle (is that the correct name?) down on South Florida Avenue for 15-cent hamburgers & gossip. We can take a nap that afternoon and be ready for a full evening of fun can't we?
Let's keep it simple & informal. Remember - this is a Birthday Party not a diner dance.
Cater a buffet of something simple with the caterer bring everything that's needed. They bring it, they serve it and they clean up. After eating we turn up the music (but not too loud) and we can visit and dance the night away. And with a caterer it allows everyone including our volunteers more time to socialize... and dance if they choose.
So what do you think --- simple or over-the-top? A dozen classmates bring, feeding & cleaning up after 150 people or a caterer?
So who's willing to help and what are you willing to do???????????????
