Our August 1st, 2025 Class of ’63 Reunion plan is coming together for Our Final Reunion: Remembering & Celebrating, and we wanted to give you a quick update from the organizing committee’s recent planning sessions. We’re excited to say that plans are progressing smoothly, and we’ve begun locking in key details to make this final gathering a memorable one.
Here’s a snapshot of where things stand:
Venue
We’ll be hosting the event at Travis Pointe Country Club, a familiar and favorite location where we’ve held several successful reunions in the past. The team at Travis Pointe always takes great care of us, and we’re confident you’ll enjoy both the setting and the experience.
This will be a luncheon buffet event, giving everyone a relaxed, comfortable way to visit and reconnect over a good meal.
Attendance & Pricing
We’ve had some encouraging early responses, and there’s a real possibility we’ll exceed our usual turnout of around 45 attendees—likely thanks to the special nature of this final reunion.
To keep things simple and sustainable, we’re tentatively setting the ticket price at $50, while continuing to welcome donations and sponsorships, which have always played a big role in helping cover costs.
If you’d like to support the event, please consider making a donation through our class website at .www.aahs63.com,
Food, Drinks & Toasts
As in the past, soda will be provided at no cost. This year, we’re adding something extra: a bar staffed by a Travis Pointe bartender. Drinks will be available for purchase—credit cards only, please, as cash will not be accepted.
We also plan to raise a glass together with a final toast—using something sparkling provided by Travis Pointe. It’s a small but meaningful way to mark the moment together.
Program & Schedule
Pete Dodge and Lawry Dolph have generously agreed to host the program, with Butch and Rick organizing the introductions. A rough timeline is shaping up like this:
- 11:30 AM – Arrival and Social Time
- 12:15 PM – Invocation
- 12:20 PM – Buffet Lunch Begins
- 1:00 PM – Program
- 1:45 PM – Toast
- 2:00 – Social time
Photos & Slideshow
Instead of replaying reunion videos this year, we’re putting together a rotating display of over 1,100 captioned photos from our many class reunions and get-togethers over the past 60 years. It’ll be playing in the background during the social time as a fun way to reflect on our shared memories—no need to watch it all, just enjoy the glimpses! You can also preview the full collection anytime on our website at https://www.aahs63.com by visiting the Photo Gallery.
Registration
We expect to be using Ticket Tailor again for registration, so keep an eye out for an announcement when registration opens. We encourage early sign-ups to help us plan.
Spread the Word
Our class email list currently includes only about half of our classmates—and some of those addresses may be outdated. If you’re in touch with others from the Class of ’63, please let them know about the reunion and encourage them to contact the Reunion Committee at aahs63@aahs.com to update their contact information.
We’re looking forward to sharing more soon, and we hope this gives you a sense of the momentum building behind our upcoming gathering. If you haven’t already, please let us know if you plan to attend—and feel free to spread the word!
We look forward to seeing you!
