Hope all my fellow 1973 Milwaukee Hamilton Grads are having a great summer. During this year, many of us are reaching a milestone in our lives…we are turning 70! As I remember my high school years and time spent with many of you, we like to party.
On Friday, August 29th we are hoping that many of us can gather once again to reconnect and celebrate our birthdays. Picnic Area #8 at Whitnall Park has once again been reserved for the day. This picnic area has restrooms, electricity, picnic tables, and a covered shelter. Rain or shine, the party will go on. We are planning on having things set up and ready to go by noon. Plan on spending the day or just stopping by for a period that works for your schedule. The site is reserved until 9 p.m. and the planning committee will be there until then if there are still fellow classmates there to catch the Brewer’s game which starts at 6:07 p.m.
We are asking you to bring your own food and beverages. We will have grills available if you are interested in grilling. If you wish, a dish to pass is welcomed. We will have a coffee service table (provided by Leslie Brandt/Bell) and birthday cupcakes (provided by Karin Peckman/Corona).
Games, music, pinata, pictures, laughs and many memories are sure to add to more laughs and more memories. Rick Cesar has volunteered to officiate games to prevent any fights.
Hope to see you there. Pass the word to any classmates that you are still in contact with. We will attempt to reach out to as many as possible by social media and email but would appreciate your help in spreading the word.
