50TH
CONESTOGA CLASS OF ‘59
Save the weekend of September 25
to 27, 2009
Our really big 50th reunion weekend several months away, but it is
not too early to circle the date on your calendar and make plans to join your
classmates. We have reserved an elegant banquet room for September 26, 2009
and, as in the past, will also organize parties for Friday night, Saturday
during the day, and Sunday breakfast. In addition to the Class of ‘59, we would
be pleased to welcome members of other Conestoga classes who would like to join
their friends for the celebrations.
The main event on Saturday will be held at Waynesborough
Country Club in Paoli. The beautiful grounds and large, chandeliered ballroom
with high ceilings and French doors to a long balcony overlooking the golf
course surpassed our expectations. The experience of those who have attended
functions at Waynesborough was that their food was
delicious and well presented.
On Saturday morning, we may be able to add tennis and/or golf if any are interested.
We are hoping to schedule a tour of Conestoga including lunch for
Saturday. Sunday morning we’ll come together again for a leisurely brunch
at a nearby hotel.
We will send more details and a reservation page for our 50th
reunion in the summer. If you have any questions, ideas, or information to
relate, please contact one of the following committee members. We welcome your
suggestions and are excited about seeing you again.
