A decent and respectable invitation to a McBride Class of 1967 Reunion would traditionally be pithy, poignant, funny and heart-warmingly touching to the point where it elicits simultaneous tears of mirth and pangs of nostalgia. So we tried for several minutes today to think up something that met at least one of these criteria. The best we could come up with was this, our new motto: why “Hey, don’t you come to the reunion if you don’t have anything better to do.” (It fell just a bit short of our goals which, upon further reflection, we decided was rather appropriate since the theme for this year’s reunion is Came Up Just A Bit “We Short Of Our Goals.”) So get up off your butt and take a look at your calendar to see what profound commitments you’re willing to scratch off the weekend after Labor Day in order to attend the Reunion. If you do, you’ll treat yourself to the following gala weekend. (By we mean that we’ll be doing some stuff that a couple of you “gala” guys might enjoy a little.) Details follow: Friday, September 8, 2017 7:00pm-???? Guys get together to eat and/or at the Sports Café in Bridgeton, MO. It’s near the I70/I270 intersection (see map) so it should be convenient to just about anyone not coming from Perth Australia. It’s just down the street from that nuclear waste dump, if that helps you place it. The Sports Café will run a tab for each individual and will settle at the night’s end. Easy peasy. Saturday, September 9, 2017 7:00pm-??? A second night of revelry, this time with your spouse, girlfriend, partner or significant other. Same venue. Same menu. Same payment plan. (See how we’ve set these nights up so you can spend as little or as much as you like, and you don’t have to worry about pre-paying for rubber chicken and green beans.) Sunday, September 10, 2017 Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Stay home. Visit relatives. You’re on your own. (Wineries are nice this time of year.) Monday, September 11, 2017 ?:??-?:?? 32nd Annual McBride Orange and Green Classic (See details on the last page of this document)
