Very Sad News

I was so sad to hear that Dave Ciprios passed away earlier this week from a heart attack.  I had the pleasure of reconnecting with him when we were both up in Massachusetts and always loved all his facebook posts of family, lakes, boats and family.  He is going to be cremated with his ashes spread over the lake by their house. 

A Go Fund Me page to fulfill a wish of Dave's has been set up:  https://gofund.me/750affcc  Please donate to make this happen.

Reunion Update  4/6

Over 50 people responded that they are definitely attending the 50th high school reunion so the reunion is ON!  It will happen at the Heritage Club in Bethpage State Park on August 28, 2021 at 7:00.  Remember, only vaccinated people can attend.  The list of attendees is below.  If you are not on the list and will definitely attend, please email me at jgerowitz@att.net

Now I need to know about hotel rooms.  There are four hotels nearby (The Huntington Hilton is sold out that weekend).  The rates listed below were the rates on the website on 4/6.  Once I know which hotel people prefer, I will call that hotel and get a group rate.

• Hilton Garden Inn, 1575 Round Swamp Road  (3.9 miles from venue)  $190 per night
• Homewood Suites by Hilton, 1585 Round Swamp Road (3.9 miles from venue)  $253 per night
• Melville Marriott, 1350 Walt Whitman Rd (5.3 miles from venue) $239 per night
• Marriott Courtyard Republic Airport, Farmingdale (3.7 miles from venue)  $246 per night

Please fill out the hotel survey by April 19th to let me know which hotel you prefer and how many rooms/nights you need. The link to the survey is in the menu to the left (Hotels for the 50th Reunion). Once I have the survey results I'll contact the hotel to see if we can get a group rate.
