This page is dedicated to keeping track 
of updates to the site and progress on the reunion.
 


Classmate and RN Erica Merchant offered these important
pieces of information for our classmates: 


** PLEASE DESIGNATE DRIVERS before you start to party. 
Let's Stay Safe.  **


** The area Friends of Bill W.  24-hour hotline is (352) 372-8091.  There are 32 meetings in the Gainesville/Alachua County
area on Friday and Saturday! **


July 22nd - I did a little fixing here and there to keep y'all interested :o) 

July 17th - What to Wear?  Girls are the only ones to ask this (surprise) :o)  There is 
no dress code, but some suggestions are:
Friday night - casual sundress or cute skirt/shorts/capris and top for the girls; 
khaki shorts or jeans and polo/collared shirt for guys - Docksides is a relaxed place - 
if you're going to Tapas N' Tinis afterwards, then you'll want to step up your dress 
a noch as it is a more fancy place
Saturday night - cocktail dress/ "go to dinner with grandma" clothes/ little black 
dress for girls - at the 10th some of the dapper dudes (80's lingo) wore suits, but 
button downs and khakis/ nice trousers are good (ties are always a nice touch) - 
of course, make sure you can dance in your outfits!

July 14th - After Happy Hour ... If you can't make it to the happy hour on Friday, you might find some of us at Scott Alvarez's friend's place:
