Dear Eisenhower HS Class of 1976:

We’re pleased to report that we have 92 classmates & guests committed to attend our 50th class reunion celebration on Saturday, September 26 at Swan Valley. The 92 registered attendees include 67 Eisenhower Class of 76’ers and 25 guests.

IMPORTANT! - We certainly understand that a number of you aren’t able to join us at our 50th class reunion celebration on September 26th. Still, we’re sure there are classmates attending that will notice your absence and wonder what you’ve been up to in the five decades that have passed since 1976.

We’ve added a Check-Ins page to our reunion website and we invite anyone who’s interested to send us a few lines and a recent photo so your classmates will know how your life has grown since we last saw each other. Tell us about your career, your children, grandchildren, places you’ve been and favorite high school memories. Say hello to old friends you haven’t seen in a while. Share anything you’d like! Let’s go!

The link to our class website is www.eisenhower1976.org the email is webmaster@eisenhower1976.org

While you’re at it, please post your photos and messages to our Class Reunion Facebook page as well. https://www.facebook.com/groups/843827685092195

NAME BADGES – If you plan to attend any of our four class reunion events, we’ll be providing you with an attractive name badge that includes your senior picture from our senior yearbook. If you’re attending any of our scheduled events (Friday's Golf Outing, Friday night's Class Social, Saturday's 11am school tour) AND are also attending Saturday night's main 50th class reunion celebration at Swan Valley, we'll be asking you to turn your badges back in after each event so that we can be assured you have your name badge for Saturday night. Name Badges are one of the key elements to running a successful class reunion, especially at our age.

50th CLASS REUNION WEEKEND SCHEDULE

Friday, September 25 – Class of 76 Golf Outing @ Sawmill Golf Club, 12pm-5pm,

$40 for 18 holes with cart. CALL Mike Berent at 989-213-5648 to register. Although the final registration deadline for this event is September 10, if you know you’re going to play in this event but have not registered yet, please give Mike a call asap. Mike can pair you up the way you want or he can place you on a partial foursome that needs another player to complete their 4-person team.

Friday, September 25 – Class Social @ Sawmill Golf Club, 5pm-11pm. We’ll be sharing the golf course restaurant and deck with the public on this night. Cash bar all night and order food from the menu (It’s fish fry night). We’re hopeful that the weather will be suitable for taking over the nice outdoor deck area. This event will be a great opportunity to chill with our classmates in a relaxed atmosphere. No Cover Charge, Cash Bar, Order Food from Menu, Open Mic, 70’s Music, Shenanigans etc.

The Open Mic event is being coordinated by classmate Rick Moore. These are Rick's exact words regarding our Friday night class social / Open Mic event...

"During our Friday night gathering at the Sawmill, we'll be set up for open mic performances for anyone who wants to take the stage. We'll have a few guitars (acoustic and electric), two microphones (just in case someone wants to do a duet), and if we need them, enough amplifiers to raise the dead.

So, come one, come all; share your talents with us. Whether you want to sing and play, treat us to a little stand-up, air your grievances about the state of the world today, or recite Colridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" (the poem, not the song by Iron Maiden), we'll be ready for you. The alternative is to listen to me play guitar (badly) and sing (even worse) all night. Believe me when I say no one wants that.
