Come and celebrate our 40th with us!!! We will have our 40th Class Reunion in conjunction with the annual Panama Canal Society Reunion in Orlando at Shingle Creek Resort, July 2 - 6, 2008. Let’s remember the old times, but make and enjoy new times. We’re older and wiser J and have lots to share! Bring along albums and stories of what you have been doing and don’t forget pictures of your grandchildren…bragging is allowed! J
We will have a Hospitality Suite Thursday p.m.-Sunday a.m. and will have beverages and light snacks available. (FYI - drinks in the hotel will range from $2.00 soda - $10.00 mixed drinks. We will hopefully have ceviche and empanadas as well!) A cocktail hour and Panamanian dinner is planned for Friday night 6:00 pm/7:00 pm. The official photographer will stop by after dinner and take our class picture before we join the dance provided by the Panama Canal Society. "Shorty and Slim" (see link in Featured Items to right) will be entertaining us with their Bajen-Calypso-Raggae type music…the lyrics are typical of our memories of Panama and fun to sing and dance to. We will meet in our Hospitality Suite Saturday night at 7:30 pm before going to hear Frankie Pretto and the Parranda Band play for our Latin dancing pleasure! We plan to have tables at both dances reserved for our class.
With the great summer sunshine, some classmates will be gathering poolside daily Thursday - Saturday at a desgnated BHS68 area. On Sunday morning (10:00 am) there will be a free "Despidida Farewell" featuring Panamanian dancers in full national and carnival costumes! The Society will offer a continental breakfast for a small fee If you haven't seen the "Despidida Farewell" before, it is worth booking your airline ticket later to be able to see it. For those of you booking airlines, there are several other city possibilities if Orlando is hard to get: Sanford, FL (45 minutes away), Melbourne, FL (50 minutes away), and Tampa, FL (approx 1 1/2 hours away).
The cost for all the "class" fun is only $75 per person. This covers your drinks, snacks for three days in the hospitality suite, the Class dinner, door prizes, and a few other possibilities in the planning. Please send your check prior to May 31, payable to Tammy Doherty, 15230 48th Ave SE, Everett, WA 98208. Should you experience a change in plans, reimbursement for the Class dinner only will be available up to June 15.
If you plan to reserve a room at the reduced PCS rate you must be a member of the Panama Canal Society. You can join by going to
