Hotel Rooms Almost Sold Out!

There are only three rooms left at the Somerset Hills Hotel for October 18 at the $119 discounted rate including breakfast.  The hotel is completely sold out of extra rooms for October 17 and 18.  However, the reunion committee has made arrangements for a block of 10 rooms at the Hotel Indigo, 80 Allen Road, Basking Ridge, NJ  908-580-1300.  They will honor the $119 rate which will include breakfast.  The Hotel Indigo is a half mile from the Somerset Hills Hotel.  Again, they will only hold that rate until September 18.  Please mention the North Plainfield High School Reunion when booking your room. 

Stay tuned for a complete listing of classmates who are attending the reunion.

Classes of 1970 and 1967 Are Welcome to Join Us!

During the initial planning for the October 18 reunion, there were discussions about including another class with our ‘68/’69 Reunion.  However, we understand there are some folks from the Class of ‘67  and ‘70 who might like to attend.  If you know anyone from the Class of ‘67 or Class of ‘70 who would like to join us, please have them contact Gerry Garatino Burns (gerib68@rcn.com) or Janice Hansen Lake (janicehansenlake@gmail.com) to get signed-up.  Their spouses are also welcome.

Don't Forget to Register for the October 18 Reunion

Mark your calendar …

Janice Hansen Lake (above) reminds all classmates that the 45th Reunion for the NPHS Class of 1969 will be held October 18, 2014 at the Somerset Hills Hotel, Warren, NJ.  As in the past, we will be joined by the Class of 1968.

She hopes you’ll join us for the reunion and would appreciate a response by August 15 so we can finalize plans.
Although the reunion committee has received responses from many classmates we still have not heard from everyone.

A postal mailing with details about the Reunion and a reservation form was sent out the end of March.  If you have not already responded, please take a few minutes and reply.  If you misplaced the forms, please contact Janice.

There is also still space in our Reunion Directory for more advertisements.  So, if you would like to promote your business and/or want to post a personal message, there’s still time.  Many of our classmates who can not attend have ordered directories so lots of people will see your ad and/or post.  If you need an ad form, email Janice  and she’ll be happy to send you one.

Janice can be contacted at: JaniceHansenLake@gmail.com
