Dear Continentals,

Good news I have information on the plans for our 50th reunion. Your faithful reunion committee has met several times since our 45th reunion and we decided to firm up a spot for the reunion. We did do a survey at the 45th reunion but to our dismay all of the places were very expensive and the locations were not the most central for flights and car trips. Your committee members and myself brought all of their ideas, costs etc. to our last meeting and it was a unanimous vote for the La Canada/ Flintridge Country Club. Cost and location are the main considerations so that as many people as possible can attend. I was able to obtain a very good package/contract that is the best deal in town. The reunion will be * Saturday, October 2^nd, 2004 October 3, which will give all of you ample time to plan, save and be ready for a wonderful and memorable 50^th reunion.

We also have tentative plans for * Sunday, October 3^rd, 2004 Oct. 4^th but this will be announced in a future letter to you. As for the evening itself it will include a reception with hors d'oeuvres, two hour hosted bar, (meaning all alcoholic drinks are included in the cost for the first 2 hours of the evening). Upscale buffet, wine with dinner, champagne toast, several salads, three hot entrees, hot vegetables, potatoes, rolls, coffee/tea/decaf/iced tea bar, dessert display and international coffee station with condiments. We will also have a program, dancing, and other surprises to be announced later.

In order to keep the cost way down and have everyone attend that wants to we are also planning a couple of fund raisers. One will be a yard sale at my home in June 2003. If you live within a reasonable driving distance of Eagle Rock I will let you know exactly when it will be held and you can drop "your treasures" off and or HELP us. If you live a long distance away and you wish to contribute to our "fund raiser" we will be most happy to accept your monetary contribution no matter how small. I will give you the exact cost of the reunion very soon but trust me it will be affordable.

Please let us know your thoughts and if any of you wish to start making door prizes or have anything to donate this would be wonderful too, just let me know as we proceed. My E-mail is Mawga54@aol.com Continental E-mail is Cont54@prodigy.net and our website is: http://pages.prodigy.net/cont54/
