Dear Pirates
It’s Reunion time again for Point Arena High School, classes 1967 to the beginning of time, aka 1950. Planned and hosted by the Class of 1960, coordinator Mike Combs.
Please put this reunion on your calendar and make plans to attend on July 26, 2025, 5 to 9pm, at Ellington Hall, 3535 Industrial Drive, Santa Rosa. Family and friends welcome!
Why a Point Arena High reunion in Santa Rosa? The first and best reason for choosing Santa Rosa is that most of our former classmates live there or nearby, meaning no long drive on Highway 1 and overnighting at our local hotels, usually packed at that time of year.
The second reason is almost as good as the first. The Gualala Community Center has been our best reunion venue in this area and won’t be rebuilt for several more years.
The third reason is that it is more economical for everyone but the few of our classmates who still live in the Point Arena/Gualala area. The cost per person will be $120, $240 for a couple. In comparison, in this area the cost in a modest hotel is at least $200 per night including taxes, meals on the road and here will add $100 or more, and vehicle fuel isn’t free. And did I mention driving Highway 1?
And that’s the fourth reason. Many of our classmates told me that they wanted to be at our reunion last year but that medical considerations prevented them.
I’m planning on the best reunion turnout since I assumed the coordinator duties in 2010. Ellington Hall requires a 100-person minimum, roughly $100 per person, and I signed up for that to nail down the hall reservation. Dinner will be a choice of Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken or spaghetti with marinara sauce and a meatball on the side - for vegetarians, no meatball – garlic bread and salad. Also hot and cold beverages and hors devours. If at least 100 attend we break even.
The best assistance in planning is getting commitments to attend as soon as possible. To help with that I offer a modest incentive of $110 per person instead of $120 for checks received by March 31, then $120 per person April 1 to June 15, and $130 per person after June 15.
Hail to the Pirates!
