August 23 Venue Announced: Barbara's Beach, 904 Pequot Avenue, New London!

Hi All,

After another grueling ;) Committee meeting last night, the SBHS '67 Reunion Committee is pleased to announce the venue for our third ---and final --- Get Together of the Summer:  
Barbara Doherty has graciously offered, and we have accepted, the use of her family's section of private beach located at 904 Pequot Avenue!  The site contains a good-sized deck at street level with some chairs and a picnic table; a small section of beach with facilities including a bathroom and an outdoor shower.

DATE:  August 23, 2019  (You saved the date, right?  ;)  )
TIME:  5:00pm to 9pm..... or later
LOCATION:  Barbara Doherty's Family Beach at 904 Pequot Avenue, New London.  (Remember The Wall Boys?  That is where we will be!)  Map photos attached. 

WHAT:  Informal Social Gathering with our Class of 1967 Classmates. 

BYOB

FOOD:  Pot Luck style.  Please bring a Dish of whatever you want to share:  simple appetizers, small platters, salads (green, pasta, whatever), or a dessert... are all welcome.  (Figure to bring enough for about 10 people, and we will have more than enough!)  No stress, please keep it simple.

The '67 Reunion Committee will supply plates, flatware, napkins and cups.

There is a picnic table on site, and a few chairs.  I know some folks are coming from a distance, ---including some SURPRISE GUESTS from Philadelphia and the DC area! --- and we will reserve chairs for them.  So please bring your own chair if possible, suitable for either the deck or the beach.

Please find attached several photos showing the location of Barbara's Beach.  Shoot us an email if you have any questions.

N.B. Since the planned venue is outdoors, weather will be a factor.  In case of inclement weather, this Moveable Feast will relocate about 100 yards up the street to Donna Moore's house at 859 Pequot Avenue.  Thank you, Donna!  

Both locations are marked on the attached photos.  

So this will be a 'rain or shine' event.  If we know in advance that the weather isn't going to cooperate, we will let you know.  In any case, the two locations are only steps away from each other;  we will be at one or the other.  Street parking is available.

BTW, over the past three years, your Reunion Committee has had the opportunity to try out both of these great venues for committee meetings.  Both have earned our highest recommendation for commodious accommodations and wonderfully friendly and gracious proprietors:  Barbara and Donna! 

See you there!

July 2019 Get together at Ocean Beach Park!

All things considered, we had a nice turnout for our July '67 Get Together at the Sandbar Cafe (The Gam) at Ocean Beach Park last night.... on the hottest day of the year! If you had to be outside yesterday, Ocean Beach was the place to be! Thanks to Joyce Stubelick Vlaun's daughter, Heather Hunter-Cable, for this group photo! Pierce and Lavinia Kepple arrived a few minutes after the photo was taken, so they do not appear, but it was great to see them again! (L to R)) Faith Asselin, Joyce Stubelick Vlaun, Margery LaceyTal (straw hat hidden from camera), Barbara Doherty, Donna Moore, Steve and Terry Schimmel (MacInnes), Joan Sullivan, Tom Schuch, Jack Churchill, Jack Carr, Jackie Nelson Carr.
