You're invited to your
South St. Paul High School Class of 1969 50th Reunion!
Greetings!
It’s hard to believe, but it is true … we, the South St. Paul High School Class of 1969, are celebrating our 50th graduation anniversary this year, 2019. Please join us at our 50-year Reunion Event, Saturday, Sept. 14, 2019. The event will be held at Southview Golf & Country Club, 239 Mendota Road, West St. Paul from 6 pm to midnight. We will have great food, great tunes from our era and more. Please mark the date on your calendar and register to be with us. Spouses and significant others are welcomed.
What is this going to cost? Glad you asked … $49 per person. That’s less than $1 per year of waiting for this event. 50 for $49 is a great value using “old” or “new math”.
Meal entrees include: Minnesota Chicken Breast stuffed with wild rice, dried cranberries and sage dressing and topped with a supreme sauce; Butternut Squash Ravioli with sage and apple cream sauce, garnished with Gorgonzola cheese and walnuts (vegetarian); Beef Short Ribs with Burgundy braise and mushroom risotto (gluten free), or Vegetable Skewers (vegan, gluten- and nut-free). All meals include delicious vegetable sides, cupcake, and a salad with berries, pecans, feta cheese, and maple vinaigrette. Several of us tasted these meals. They are really good!
Early commitment is appreciated. To register: Please send a check for $49 per person, by August 30 but preferably sooner. Enclose a note with your printed names and meal selection(s): Minnesota Chicken Breast, Butternut Squash Ravioli, Beef Short Ribs, or Vegetable Skewers. Make your check payable to “SSP 1969 Reunion” and mail it to: Bruce Ruecker; 100 4thAve. No., Unit 309; So. St. Paul; MN 55075.
NOTE: THE PRICE RISES TO $59 ON SEPTEMBER 1, through Sept. 7. After that it will be difficult to process reservations for dinner. If you want to come but did not register by Sept. 7, please contact the reunion organizers at ssphs69@gmail.com.
