There will be a salute to VETERANS...bring along any photographs of your military daze!

Lastly...create the buzz and pass the word to others to attend.

Greetings Classmates of 1968!

It’s Time for Our L Class Reunion! You remember from Latin Class…L…the big 5-0!

This class reunion will be a great way for all of us to get together and catch up and celebrate. It will be a real Classic rewind.  The main event will be Saturday evening starting at 6 pm at the Schuylkill Country Club, Orwigsburg – dinner with music to follow. While there will be music, there will be places to talk and reminisce, including the picturesque patio.  No need to shout!

Registration is now open so please send in your reservations, but no later than September 7th.  Early response provides the Committee with a cash flow to continue to plan this event.  We are hoping for a great turnout and look forward to a wonderful class reunion.  We look forward to seeing you and I suggest you contact a classmate or two and promote a big turnout. 

                                                                       Create the Buzz!

You can periodically check the class website at www.nativitybvm.blogspot.com for updates. See who won the raffle prize of two registrations.

A prize will be awarded to one lucky classmate who adds a nice comment to the blog.

The dinner will be a great buffet featuring beef, chicken, fish, and vegetarian:  

Please! Bring along any and all memorabilia, photographs, etc. from your school days as there will be a table set up for display.  There will be a video presentation to rekindle some memories.  There will be prizes awarded!  Remember one prize is for the first reservation received, so get your checkbook out now!

For those who experienced Roadside America as a child, the fabled attraction is now up for sale!  No closing date has been announced.  Consider investing your 401(k) in this iconic piece of history!

Class reunion is approaching

TIME IS RUNNING OUT. GET YOUR RESPONSE IN RIGHT AWAY.

 

nativity1968 blogspot: the movie

I have run out of material. The blog will go dormant for now. Enjoy the movie version that was created over the weekend. It received a G rating as well as A-I from the National League of Decency (morally unobjectionable for all). It is not in 3-D so put away those glasses.

One month until reunion

The reunion is only one month away. Have you sent in your response? Well get going.
$20 is a bargain.
If you liked the class blog, then why not even send in a little extra. It is cheaper than Classmates.

UFO sighting

Apparently most of the crowd was watching the Ferris Wheel and missed the close call with the UFO.

The nun in the bottom left of the photograph was there to make sure no funny business went on during the ride.

Blog? What's This Blog All About?

Hi! Welcome to the first blog created to encourage enthusiasm for a 40th class reunion. Hopefully the blog will be working fine and you can enter comments.

Back in the 1960s we did not have the luxury of internet, instant messenger, Iphones, email. No, back then we had to communicate either in person, by telephone or by written mail. So now that it is the 21st century, we will communicate by blog (for starters).

Your should now follow these steps:
1. Bookmark the blog address;
2. Forward the blog link to some former classmate and request that it be passed on.
3. Post a comment or send an email to the official Nativity B.V.M. Class of 1968 email address.

The first order of business is to decide:
1. Should there be a reunion?
2. If so, when and where?

In the past, it appeared that there was a split over picnics vs. formal dinners. Therefore, this is open for discussion.
Does a reunion necessarily have to be in Schuylkill County? No. If you have a location that may work, then let us know.
When should it be? Summer time, early fall, Columbus Day Weekend?


So again, welcome aboard!
