50-Year Reunion: Plan to Attend!
Thursday, September 26-Sunday, September 29, 2024
Join your classmates and their spouses, partners, or friends to celebrate our 50-Year Reunion!
Here are the events we have planned and the associated costs:
Thursday, September 26, 6 pm: Meet us on the patio at Bing Pizza (www.thebingpizzeriaanddrafthousetx.com, 1755 HIGHWAY 35 BYP N, Alvin, TX 77511). You make your own food and drink purchases.
Friday, September 27, 11 am: Meet us at the Alvin Museum (housed in the old Post Office Building). Gay Roden Prevost is sponsoring this event, so you get in free. The Alvin Museum Society has done a bang up job of collecting interesting items, pictures, and stories from the history of Alvin. And at our age, we count as history! There will be a few special AHS exhibits as well. Afterward, we will lunch nearby (bring your money).
Friday, September 27, 5:30 pm: It’s AHS Homecoming and we are going to meet at the Official AHS Homecoming Reception (details to come) and then sit together at the football game (6:30 pm). The Reception is free, but you have to purchase your own tickets for the game online beforehand. Tickets will be available August 1 at Alvin ISD (ALVIN, TX) Athletics (alvinisdathletics.com) or Alvin High School Events and Tickets by GoFan. You will buy a general admission ticket and then we will reserve a section which will get marked off in the stands.
Saturday, September 28, time and meetup place TBA: Take a tour of the old campus. You may be able to spot something left from your time 50 years ago, but you will be amazed at what is new. This event is free! Afterward, we will all head to Dairy Land for a tortilla burger and Dr. Pepper (or whatever makes you happy).
Saturday, September 28, 6 pm: This is our main reunion event. It will be held in Alvin, mainly outside under trees and canopies, so if you get hot, bring a fan and we will plug it in for you. We plan to go ahead with the event even if it rains (there is some shelter). We probably won’t go ahead with it if a hurricane decides to make land at Galveston. Dinner is catered by Joe’s. We will provide chips and dips, tea, and Coke and Sprite setups, but you BYOB. Also, bring a dessert to share, if you can. No need to sign up. Just bring something if it’s convenient. We will have music, both recorded and live. If you want to be part of the live music, let us know. The cost for this evening of visiting, food, and fun is $35 per person and the deadline to pay is August 31, 2024.
Sunday, September 29, 9 am: Meet us at Kelley’s for breakfast for our last event of the weekend.
