40th year reunion

You and a guest are cordially invited to attend
the 40th-year Reunion
of the Class of 1971
of Cranston High School East
on Friday, June 10, 2011
at Bonnet Shores Beach Club
in Narragansett, Rhode Island.

Yes! It’s official! We have a date and a terrific location for our
40th Reunion! I never realized how complicated it is to arrange 1) a
great location that 2) can accommodate the number of people we will
probably have with 3) good food on 4) a date that hasn’t already been
reserved a year in advance for a wedding in 5) summer for 6) a
reasonable price. I’ve lost track of how many places the committee of
volunteers visited, called, and researched online. Thank you to
everyone for their suggestions and ideas. The result is a beautiful
place right on the ocean before the weather gets unbearably hot.

I invite you to join me in thanking the people who have been working
behind the scenes to make this happen since September 2010: Pat
Giarrusso, Susan Bond Burns, Cosima Fallon, Beverly Brisson DeFelice,
Juliana Pastine Reilly, Ernie Rheaume, Don and Tina McKendall, Pat
Dewey Giarrusso, Donna Lepizzera Caldamone, Gail Cavanaugh
Santosuosso, Domenic D'Antuono, Diane Fusco McWeeney, Lynne Freedman
Turkus, Franne Donovan, and Pamela Pinskey Fernandes. Extra special
thanks to our Class President Dan Barry for handling all the details
of negotiating and reserving the venue.
