Important Information about Friday night parking!
The owner of the Georgetown Saloon called me with concerns about Friday
night parking. I've volunteered to let our reunion members park in the lot
at 73 Redding Road (Route 107). We have plenty of parking spaces available,
and I am President of the condo association that owns the building at 73
Redding Road.
73 Redding Road is on the north side of the street (Route 107), across from
the end of Main Street.

Last Minute Details
As of today, there are over 60 members of our class who are coming to the Reunion, plus about 40 guests!
I've had a few questions about logistics for the reunion -- most of the answers are somewhere on this site -- but here's the gist of it:
Friday night -- hopefully you've made a reservation -- any questions should go to Roger Kaufman at RZKTRoger@aol.com.
Saturday tour of Staples -- meet at 11 am by the front entrance (yes, it's in the same place, but you won't recognize it!)
Saturday night dinner -- 6:30 at 19 Stony Point Road (through the brick wall behind the train station, last house on street, watch for speed humps -- directions below.) Parking is tight, so you might want to park at the train station and walk in. Dinner is lobster, but we'll also have some chicken and burgers (including veggie) for those who prefer.
Dress code is casual and weather-dependent (we've had a soggy summer in CT) -- plus we went to school in the 60s so there is no dress code...
Sunday at the Beach -- there will be people there starting at about 11, if you want to come by early; there will be a brief service at 11:30, and lunch about noon. Look for the class banner near the cannons. Tell the nice young guard at the gate that you're with the Class of 1966 reunion.
You can always email me (annsheffer@stonypoint.net) with last minute questions -- or call me at 203-227-5522 or 203-451-1456 (cell) though I don't expect you to get lost in Westport -- it hasn't changed that much!
See you next weekend!

ATTENTION - ATTENTION - ATTENTION
There has been an addition to our Sunday at the Beach line-up. Our very own Reverend Steven Emmett has volunteered to lead us in a Sunday worship service. It's non-denominational and will be co-hosted by serveral of our classmates. This service will be held at 11:30 (giving us all a few extra hours of sleep) and as close to the cannons as possible. Watch for our "Reunion Banner" which will travel with us throughout the weekend.
After the service we will all move to the tent and tables to prepare lunch. REMINDER: No Glass is allowed at the beach. Also CT liquor stores close at 8:00pm Saturday evening.
PS If you prefer or have an early flight the regular church service hosted by Westport churches will be held at 8:30 by the cannons.

Register Now!
We have to have a count for the Clambake company by next Monday, July 24, so if you haven't registered (or know someone who hasn't) be sure to do it now -- or we can't promise you dinner! The beach picnic is more flexible, but we'd love to know how many are coming.
Dinner on Saturday night will begin at 6:30 -- directions and parking instructions will be posted in the next few days.
See you soon!
