2010 Dinner Invitations Are Out

Down here in Virginia, the 2010 Alumni Dinner invitation just arrived in the mail. So I suspect many of you just got yours as well.

In case you haven't, here's the key information.

Date: June 26.
Place: The Corporate Building at the Cattaraugus County Fairgrounds.
Time: Social hour starts at 5 p.m. ET; dinner starts at 6 p.m. ET.

Theme: The Academy Awards.
Guest speaker: Dr. James Reynolds, Class of 1970.

Caterer: The Old Library restaurant, from Olean.
Dinner options:
-- Broiled ham steak (topped with mustard sauce; served with wild rice and buttered carrots). $18 per person.
-- Chicken parmesan (served with penne pasta and spaghetti sauce). $18 per person.
-- Two mesquite-grilled vegetable kabobs (they come with plum sauce, wild rice and a potato-crusted veggie cake). $18 per person.

Everyone, according to the letter, also gets a "decadent dessert."

Members of the Class of 1960, by the way, get to eat free (as the 50-year folks always do). So brother Jim Memmott should be able to afford to pay for a beer or two this year.

Dues: They've gone up a bit, to $5 from $3 last year. (Editorial comment: How many other exclusive clubs can you belong to for just $5 a year?)

Deadline: The Alumni officers would really like to receive your reservations by June 18. That's not an absolute-must, but would be much appreciated.

Mailing address:

-- Little Valley Alumni Association
-- P.O. Box 162
-- Little Valley, N.Y. 14755-0162

As always, if you wish you can also send along contributions to either the:

-- Little Valley Central School Alumni Association's General Fund

or the

-- Memmott-Langhans Scholarship

Hope to see many of you there.

Class Of '75 Asks: Jeff Payne, Where Are You?

Spring's here, so classes are getting to the final stages of organizing their reunions.

I hear from a source that the Class of '75 has tracked down everybody except Jeff Payne -- who was with them all the way through junior year, before moving to Vermont.

Jeff: Everybody wants to hear from you (and of course would be thrilled if you came by on Alumni weekend -- the last weekend in June). You can e-mail me if you like ( memmottmark@yahoo.com ), and I'll get word to the right folks.

Any other classes need help? Shoot me a message and I'll see what I can do.
