Are you ready to enjoy a fun-filled afternoon of boating before your official reunion get-together! It's a little more sophisticated than the old days of tubing down the Lower Niagara with a group of friends and a case of Labatt's Blue, but you're sure to have just as much fun! Here's how it works...
Come alone, bring your spouse, hook up with your old boyfriend or girlfriend, or just get a group of friends together. Either way, we'll assign your party to your own private cruiser or sailboat for a 3-hour trip up the Lower Niagara River. All of the boats will depart from the Youngstown Yacht Club around 2:30 pm. Our plan is to have all reunion vessels meet in Lewiston where they will raft together and begin their float down river. Adult beverages and munchies will be provided by your captain and all proceeds will be donated to Niagara Hospice!
You and your crew will return to the Youngstown Yacht Club around 5:30. Once back on shore we welcome you to check out our silent auction, purchase some raffle tickets, enjoy a drink at the bar and listen to the music of Soul Committee before heading off to your class reunion parties scheduled for later that evening.
The clambake dinner is not included in the special $60 reunion cruise package. It's my assumption that each of you plan on eating dinner at your respective class reunion parties. If for some reason you do wish to dine with us, please add an extra $20 to you pre-registration fee.
Finally, please consider placing an advertisement in our 2009 program book. It can be an ad to promote your business, remember a lost friend or family member, or pictures and memories from your high school years. All of the printing is donated by Kim & Ray Beniquista of Quality Discount Printing in Williamsville, New York. That means that 100% of your ad donation goes directly to Niagara Hospice!
Thanks for your support. I look forward to seeing you in July!
