Joan's Story

WE HAD A BLAST OF A LIFETIME!! My dear Friends, I am sorry for all of you that decided against making the Reunion because it was outrageously good. Everyone enjoyed it so much. The Infernos were fantastic, Richie Salgado and his quartet were outstanding, everyone danced all day, laughed, kissed, ate that wonderful Nanina's food. I can't describe their cocktail hour. If you are ever invited to an affair there, don't miss it . I think all the great gifts that were given out just floored people. Our best friends, Kathie Stapleton Maccia and her husband Joe won the 2 Tickets to Jersey Boys. Just want to take the opportunity for all those that visit this sight to say thank you very much for being a part of this special day. Someone from the class of 61' thanked me and said even though it was 63's 50th, everyone there felt like it was there special day also. That is what we strived for, Every year was well represented in the final total of 190. God bless all of you until we "hook up" again. BW Joan Adamo Abin and Committee Hello Everyone, the big day is here and just about to leave for Nanina's ,..,,.,.so excited to see all of you. We filled the house and now it is time to enjoy each other. God bless you all and thank you for making this such a success. Aug 28th update, 3 more gift certificates for restaurants came in, we have more gifts than we thought we would have, good going East Siders! Also Liz from Nanina's called and said they are adding a huge cake to the Venetian Table, thought that was nice of them. Some ask about dress code again. Men a jacket yes, but tie is optional, be comfortable.........woman, a lovely top and slacks or dress whatever you feel more comfortable in. We are not trying to impress at this stage so make life easy for yourself, we are all here to enjoy each other, laugh, eat, dance and be so so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God be with all of us on this special day,. See you soon. Aug. 25th update.

What a beautiful affair this is going to be. No nasty hotel food, everything the best including our very own Richie Salgado class of '64 band plus a DJ to keep us going to those real oldies. Please go to Reunion East Side High School class of 63 (years 60-66) .....so many classes missed out on their 50th and many don't know if they will have one in the future so we are giving all our enegy to this one. That is why it is going to be so special to so many. $140 per person and well worth it. You can even send part payments. My number is 201-259-9351 if you want more info. Best wishes and hope to see you then. Joan Adamo Abin '63 Update,,,,,,,Richie Salgado will be present but The Inferno's will be our band. We want Rich to enjoy the night. We have over 250 yesses and over 50 paid. Extending payment for those than can't make the May 8th deadline but we would like a yes from those of you who will be there. We have added a PHOTO BOOTH and that will be enjoyable. Male sure you contact someone on the committee and give your name address AND YEAR you graduated, email if available and we will keep you in with no pressure. BW. Update May 30, 2013 Now we have over 125 paid and coming in by mail all the time. We see that money is difficult for so many and this economy is not friendly to anyone.....some have sent In half at a time and that is ok. We just need something from you if you want us to seat you. If you have someone you want to sit with, let us know otherwise you will be seated at a table with your classmates. Please make the effort to be there, this very well might be the last "big" get together for our class. Love and best wishes to you! Update as of June 15th 150 Paid, sending out post cards to 50 more people that have said yes and didn't send in payment or deposit yet. Getting close. BW to All.
