Hi Guys
Hope all is well, my fellow alums.
We are talking with The Sequoia Restaurant, regarding the site of
our 45th ( !!! ) Reunion, and I want to get your final approval.
The Sequoia located at the South Street Seaport, ( at Fulton St
and the East River ), and I wanted to get the go ahead from the Committee as
to the
a) date, which is Saturday, October 20, running from about 6
PM till 10 PM ( or, 6:30PM-10:30 PM )
b) having a dinner / dance with a DJ playing, mostly 60s and
70s music ( I've been in contact with a really good one, who did my wife's
60th birthday two years ago; his cost is $600 )
c) likely cost of the event ( between $130-$140 pp, all
inclusive).
Please give me your input as to whether we should have an open bar, just
soda with wine at each table ( I like that ), or a cash bar.
I am working with Henry Grossberg, the head of our Alumni Association. He
indicated that because of the Association's tax status, we will save some
money on taxes.
The other option is to have the event at The Water Club,
located on the East River and 38th Street, but the only open date for that is
Oct 27, and it is a bit more expensive, albeit somewhat more "elegant".
However, Oct 27 starts to run into the holidays, so my efforts have been
confined, mostly, to The Sequoia. Both places will have outdoor space
available to us. I like the South Street Seaport area, as there is a lot to do
there, and is an interesting locale, for many reasons. But, I am OK
with whatever the Committee wants. Just say the word and I'm there with
you guys !!!
Best regards to all !!!
Jim, The Sterg
