https://www.lhsclass1971.com/reunion-registration-paymentlinks
As always, you can also pay at the door for either night of the reunion - but remember that pre-registering and pre-paying means you won't have to spend any time standing in line waiting to pay at any of our reunion weekend events.
We also appreciate you pre-registering and pre-paying as this will give the reunion committee flexibility in scheduling / reserving specific portions of the reunion that require pre-planning, venue deposits, and reunion supplies.
Watch your e-mail as well as our class Facebook and Web pages for updates about all the exciting events we’ll have on tap throughout Reunion Weekend, Friday-Saturday, October 16-17…
That said – See you in October!...
