P.S. to the June edition:

Attention Hicksville High School Class of 1968! Barbara Hoosack Sarluco and Dianne Gunnigle Burkhardt regret to announce that the plans to have a 40th Reunion this year are officially cancelled. We investigated many possibilities, and the price tag kept mounting higher and higher. We are facing an uncertain winter ahead of us with the rising gas, oil and airline prices, so we felt postponing our event is the sensible thing to do. We hope to get a larger committee together for future reunion plans so the burden of all this work and expense isn't on just two people. Please keep in touch with us if you are interested in helping out.Good bye for now, and Congratulations Graduates of the Class of 1968. Happy 40th to all !!!Memories of "Camelot", the Senior Prom, the Senior Play, "You Can't Take It With You" and the Washington D.C. trip, The Comet yearbook, Mr. Jaworski and Mr. Feigin and our senior class leaders: Chet Schnepf and Andy La Grega and all the stories we could tell about those days at Hicksville High.Remember to keep in touch with our fellow classmates through hixnews.com

Have a nice summer.
Barbara and Dianne

Class of '58 50th Reunion

Saturday September 20, 2008 (with optional events planned for Friday, September 19 and Sunday, September 21)
Holiday Inn, Plainview, NY
215 Sunnyside Boulevard at Long Island Expressway, Exit 46

Invitations are in the Mail

Class of '58 alumni, your invitation is on its way! Our 50th reunion will be September 20 at the Holiday Inn, Plainview. If the location sounds familiar, you're right. It's where we celebrated our 25th.

But if you attended that event, you're in for a pleasant surprise. It's not the Holiday Inn you remember. It's new from head to toe and definitely upscale! Though completely rebuilt and refurbished, as it did 25 years ago, the Holiday Inn, Plainview, still offered the best price and best-priced accommodations that made it the committee's top choice for our 50th reunion site. Tickets to the reunion will be $68 per person. The event begins at 7 p.m. and skip the tux and tiara. Dress is casual.

There will be plenty of time to catch up with old friends as you mix and mingle over drinks and appetizers and then partake of a sumptuous buffet dinner and dessert. (Cash bar). In the background will be soft music from the 50s provided by a local DJ.

A reservation form is included with the invitation and must be received by reunion committee treasurer Janet Wilson Moeller by July 18. A letter of confirmation will be sent to you in August along with details of optional events on Friday and Sunday. If you're coming from out-of-town and need a place to stay, you'll find the Holiday Inn, Plainview's special reunion rate of $129 per night plus tax rate one of the lowest you'll find in the area. (that's quite a savings over the normal $173 per night senior citizen's rate--the normally lowest deal you can get).

Even better, it gives everyone an informal place to get together on Friday night for cocktails and music in the Holiday Inn Lounge and to gather for Sunday brunch. Dinner on Friday evening will be on your own. The hotel's Brunch on Sunday will also be at your option. Hotel reservations must be made separately. The reunion rate applies from Thursday, September 18 through Sunday, September 21. To get that rate, you must make your reservation by August 7. Information about the reservation process and the special code number you'll need to get the discounted rate are included in the invitation.
