What a great idea!
 
We should have one of these! Yesssssssss

"Any Year School Reunion"
 
 
On Saturday August 3, 2013, my wife Marie and I went to the Venetian Beach Hut in Lindenhurst, NY, to see a “60s Band;” we inadvertently walked into a Class Reunion. The people that were running the Reunion were under a tent giving out name tags. I spoke to an organizer of the Lindenhurst High School Any Year Reunion; he told me that every time he plans a reunion, everyone wants to attend. The novel solution is simple; invite "everybody." Publicity for this event was mainly through Facebook.

A tent was set-up on the Beach, near the Lindenhurst Beach Hut, a local night club, that normally schedules bands to entertain its regular customers. I have no idea as to how many people were Alumni, but 800 people showed up at the Venetian Beach Hut.  

There's "alota fun" out there! When I get excited about something, I just love to express myself in "Brooklyneese." You can take the boy "outta" Brooklyn, but you can’t take the Brooklyn "outta da" boy. LOL

    Fine Sir, I was the person you spoke too. I love your post and the fact that you saw that keeping these things "Casual" is the way to go. I fully expect to break our attendance record this year for the "5th Annual Lindenhurst "Any Year" Reunion" on August 2 at Venetian Shores.

    Jim: My wife and I had a wonderful time talking to alumni from your school. I made an attempt to run a "Flash Mob Reunion," for Sachem High School, at Smith Point, but the event was rained out. Have a great reunion; I will also try to run another FMR this summer! Nice talking to you! Ben Vitale

    Ben, Ah.. the weather. I take my chances but always have a local Gin Mill that can handle "Plan B". I start promoting the August event in March. Leave time for "word of mouth".

    I am looking for the Miller Twins, Jerrilyn and Geraldine Miller, class of '64. They went to college at Oneonta State. I am an old friend who would dearly love to locate them again.
    If you know them and where they may be now, I would expect you to get their permission.
