The 1968 SHS Class Reunion

Dear Classmates,

It's hard to believe that forty years have passed since we donned our caps and gowns and took the stage at Robarts Arena. Sarasota has changed and evolved and so have we - but hopefully your Sailor spirit remains intact. The SHS Class of 1968 reunion is a great way to reconnect with old friends and classmates. We have a great weekend of festivities planned and hope you can join us.

On Friday, October 10^th, our classmate, Phil Torrence, has graciously offered his new establishment, The West End Pub (in Gulf Gate) as the venue for our "mix and mingle" event. We will have the place to ourselves so come enjoy an informal evening of fun, food and drink. We wll begin at 7:00 PM until ?
6500 GATEWAY AVENUE

We have left the day open on Saturday, so you have some time to golf, shop, have lunch with friends, or just relax.

The beautiful Bent Tree Country Club is the place to be on the evening of Saturday October 11^th. We wll gather at 6:30 PM for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres with dinner at 7:30 PM followed by music and dancing. We are thrilled to have a great "reunion" band lined up, Crystal Pain, whose faces will be very familiar to our class. (For locals who want a sneak peek – go to the Irish Rover Pub in Gulf Gate on Sunday night, October 5^th)
4700 BENT TREE BOULEVARD

On Sunday, October 12^th, take a trip back in time and enjoy a Touch of "Class" continental breakfast in the SHS Cafeteria (near the former Senior parking lot) from 10:00 am – Noon. The old brick building is being renovated by the Ringling College of Art & Design. It is a marvelous way to preserve our school and RCAD will provide a special tour of the building for us.
