Hello Classmates!
The time draws near for our 50th class reunion. As of right now, all venues and events are still scheduled, so we are moving forward with preparation and are confident the reunion will go as planned.
The cost is $60/person. We have received donations and a cash advance, to help cover the cost of the reunion and future expenses. The committee will be prepaying and we encourage you to do so also. You can send your payment to Rose at:
Rose Tydrich

To save expenses we are not accepting payment with credit/debit cards.

Some out-of-town classmates are staying with friends and/or family during the reunion. If you need hotel accommodations, Joe Kotnour has made arrangements with The Courtyard by Marriott, 500 South Front St. downtown La Crosse, on the River. Joe has reserved 10 rooms to start. As they fill, the Marriott will add 10 more, as needed. Phone The Marriott, 608-782-1000 and tell them the reservation will be under the Aquinas 1971 Class Reunion group.

Jerry DeBoer, Bill Bettis and Mike Desmond are organizing the golf outing Saturday August 14, 2021. Details are being worked on and we will send a detailed email in a few weeks.
Also, remember Dan Marcou's picture project. Dan has created a PowerPoint presentation for the reunion. He has scanned all our senior pictures from the '71 Aquin. Each slide will have that photo and your name. If you choose, you can add other personal photos, personal info or greetings. You decide. To add to your slide, email Dan at: marcoudj@Charter.net. All reunion attendees will receive a thumb drive of Dan's presentation.
We are looking for volunteers to organize and coordinate activities. Such as:
