Because the 4th of July falls on Thursday, we'll need classmates to work on the float during the week preceding the parade. This means that it may need to be done by those who lives locally. Julie May Jones and Patty Furney are doing the design, and then the committee and classmates will do the construction and finishing.

The Class of 1969 has won the "Best Reunion Float" award three times: 2004, 2009, and 2014. It'd be great if we could also win the award for our 50-year reunion!

Please plan to come to Jim's house and help put our float together, and then either ride on it or walk alongside it during the parade on Thursday, July 4.

Beer and snacks to energize the UA69ers will be provided!

Come and kick off Reunion Weekend!

The UA Parade begins at 9:00 am, but please gather on the Northwest Boulevard side of Kingsdale around 8:30 am, find our Class of 1969 float, and hop on!

Mike Miely is suggesting that those who would like to ride their bikes inthe parade decorate them and line up alongside the float!

Or if you prefer to walk alongside the float, it makes us look like the young, energetic class that we ARE!

You may recall that our Class of 1969 Graduation Party was held at Scioto Country Club in June, 1969.

This year's Reunion Dinner Party will also be held at Scioto Country Club, where we will have several food stations with a variety of offerings, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes. We'll have a cash bar, and will sell drink tickets. Each drink ticket is $5.00.

1 drink ticket = soft drink
2 drink tickets = beer or wine
3 drink tickets = mixed drink

Because our UA69 Class Fund has accumulated enough money, we are able to pay for a portion of each classmate's dinner from The Fund. As a result, we're able to reduce price of the Scioto Main Event to $50 per person. We're hoping that reducing the price will encourage as many classmates as possible to attend this lovely 50-year reunion party.

A professional photographer will take candid and staged pictures throughout the evening, and we'll make sure that we get a large class photo to commemorate the 50-year reunion. Thank you to Walt Dennis for donating the photographer's fees!

PLEASE NOTE: THE CLASS PHOTO WILL BE TAKEN AT 7:20 PM.

Walt Dennis has also arranged for a disc jockey to play music from our high school years.

COST: $50 PER PERSON

ATTIRE: Please read the Scioto Country Club Guidelines and Rules.
  

We'll gather in the lobby of the UAHS auditorium at noon to remember and honor our sixty-eight UA69 classmates who have passed away, but who will never be forgotten.

These classmates' family members will be present, and together, we will celebrate the lives of these friends who left us too soon.

Inspirational words from Jim Long and Wil Verhoff. Music by Kate Jerencsik Hauk.
