SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!!!

Plans are shaping up for out 40th reunion!  There will be something for everyone, and every budget.  Come and join us for a weekend of activities.  Friday night will start out with checking in at the Hospitality room at the Courtyard Marriott in Troy.  We have reserved a block of rooms for our alumni both Friday and Saturday nights.  More detailed information will follow.

We will be gathering at Augies on John R in Madison Heights for our evening Meet and Greet from 9-?  A live band will be playing all our oldies.  Mingle and meet with friends for the good ol days!

Jack Field has a fun afternoon of bowling planned on Saturday for those so inclined.  The times and lanes will be announced later.

The big event, the reunion banquet, will be held at Farina's in Berkly.  Dinner will begin at 6:00.  Included in the ticket price will be dinner, open bar, photos and a memory book.  We will have a DJ.  We promise to make it a memorable evening! Shuttle service will be provided between the hotel and hall.

On Sunday morning, we will gather for Sunday Brunch at the Courtyard Marriott.  Omelettes to order and a breakfast buffet will be served.  The cost for the buffet is $10.  If you are a hotel guest, there is no charge.  We hope you can join us for brunch even if you miss the dinner on Saturday night.

The committe has been working hard to plan activites to include all of our friends and alumni.  Graduates other than 71 alumni are welcome to join us in all activites.  Dinner tickets will be sold to '71 graduates on a first come, first serve basis.  Ticket sales will then be open to all other alumni.

We hope YOU can join us for one or all activities.  If you have any comments or suggestions, please contact us through this blog, on facebook (1971 Hazel Park Vikings Reunion) or email us at hazelparkreunion71@gmail.com.

As plans and details develop, I will post them.  Have a great day and remember ONLY 192 days til we met again!  Onward Vikings!

P.S.  We make sure we have your current address.  If you know the whereabouts of any other alumni, please let us know.  We will be mailing out a SAVE THE DATE postc,ard this spring.
