Hang Out Friday and Saturday

Posted on by admin

Don’t know yet what you’ll be doing Friday afternoon (before the Friday evening get-together at The Pinemoor) or Saturday before the big reunion event?

Not to worry . . . we’ve reserved a hospitality suite at the Holiday Inn Arlington that will be open for your eating and chatting pleasure from 1 to 4 p.m. on Friday, as well as 10:00 am Saturday morning and into the afternoon.

We’ll provide snacks and sandwiches — even a charcuterie board! It’s the perfect place to stop by and sit a spell, especially if you’re planning to attend Charlie Clark’s fascinating presentation on Arlington history at 1 p.m. Saturday.

We’ll see you there!

Not Too Late! You Can Buy Tickets at the Door

Posted on by admin

Haven’t purchased your reunion ticket yet? You have until 5 p.m. on October 7 to buy one (or more) online — along with drink and parking tickets. But if you decide on Saturday that you’d really rather attend the reunion than clean the garage, you can pay at the door.

Here’s the deal: You’ll need to bring $95 cash per attendee If you want to purchase tickets for drinks or parking you can also do that at the door with cash.

Tickets for parking are $6. If you’re staying at the Holiday Inn (where the parking is free for guests at the hotel), it’s an easy walk. If you don’t buy a parking ticket in advance and park in the Ballston Center garage, you’ll pay $11 by credit card on your way out.

Questions? Call Mary Keeney between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. ET (or text any time) at 443-584-6365 — or email us at wl71reunioncommittee@gmail.com.

Meet Up Friday Night!

Posted on by admin

Remember those Friday nights after the game . . . when we’d all go have burgers at The Pinemoor? Well, neither do we, because it opened many years after we left W-L! But it’s a popular spot now, and we all get to try it out the night of Friday, Oct. 7.

You’ll find The Pinemoor at 1101 N. Highland Street — just one block from the Clarendon Metro station. There is metered street parking and a parking garage across the street.

Meet up at The Pinemoor Friday Night!

The gathering starts at 5:30, and there’s no charge to attend. Just pay for your own munchies and drinks — and have fun reconnecting with classmates. Come when you can and stay as long as you like. (Although they’ll toss you out at closing time — 2 a.m.!) There are other restaurants in the area, so you can mix and match the appetizers and entrées.

Questions? Call Mary Keeney between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. ET (or text any time) at 443-584-6365 — or email us at wl71reunioncommittee@gmail.com.
