Despite the remnants of Hurricane Ian coming through Maryland on September 30, 2022, 76'ers still gathered at Tommy Joe's Rooftop Bar, to celebrate the (delayed) 45th Reunion.
We still took advantage of the group that night to poll everyone as to what to do with a formal gathering for the 45th. "Fortunately," we collectively agreed to do "absolutely nothing" until the 50th Reunion. 😊
With that said, we pledged that we would have a casually-themed gathering, as we have in the past with the 30th, 40th, 50th, and 60th Birthday parties, along with ultra-casual affairs like the 55 mph party.
On June 3, 2023 we are doing it with the “3M.” (“Mid”-Year Medicare Mixer.)

We're Counting Down!
We're planning on gathering at Tommy Joes in Bethesda.
And, based on the response so far, we're definitely proceeding.
We just need to know...

We are telling Tommy Joe's to plan on an approximate # of people showing up at the door @ 5:00pm for "Fajita Fridays", along with drinks and other appetizer discounts.
The Happy Hour Special goes until 7:00pm and we can stay as long as we like.
While we will not reserve our spot, the management will know, we are all showing up at the same time and they may want to carve out our space on the spacious 3rd Floor Rooftop Pergola (75% covered).
As of now, the weather forecast has a high of 67⁰ with absolute sunshine. Of course, as we all know, the outlook changes daily, so stay on top of the reports. Of recent, with climate change taking our lives over, the highs have been as late as 7pm.
So for now, it may look like...
Naturally, having RSVP's (of sorts) in place by 12 noon that day will help us secure the space.
Please lettuce know if you're in, no later than 12 noon (if you can), on September 30.
RSVP's Are Not Required Folks,
but if we can get a sense of headcount, that would be great.
but if we can get a sense of headcount, that would be great.
Bear in mind, Tommy Joe's venue will be open to the public at large, and we will attempt to carve out space for the class.
So having some tangible #'s for those in attendance will be helpful.
You are also more than welcomed to make an 11th hour decision and just show up.
We will have "Name Tags" available for all of us who simply will not recognize one another.
