On Monday, April 6th the first committee meeting occurred to lay out plans for our 50th reunion, which will be held Friday, June 26th, 2027 through Sunday, June 28th, 2027.

In attendance were: Joan Meyers, Eric Pianosi, Jeff Tiffany, Lori Lainhart, Jody Fisher, and maybe others at the table I could not see! On Zoom were Jim Mattison, Marlene Pokrinchak, Kathie Orzal, and me (Ann).

DONATIONS needed!  We are looking for any extra monetary donations to help keep ticket costs down, and to provide a ticket to anyone who is strapped for cash:  To donate, use the following link:

As usual, Friday's mixer will be held at the American Legion on Front Street from 7:00 until 11:00. 

Saturday night's big party/dinner will be held at the Pumpelly Estate on Front St. Cocktail hour and sign-will begin at 5:00. Dinner will be at 6:00 (tentative). We only have Pumpelly until 9:30 p.m., at which time we will saunter down to the Barleycorn and raise some hell there.

Sunday, we will meet again, informally, at either the Legion or the VFW. Details on that will come later.

Optional: DRESS in 70s STYLE!!!  Some of us are going vintage clothes shopping and will hopefully find some cool 70's style clothes to wear Saturday night!! 

What do we need from YOU?

First and foremost, reach out to any classmates for whom you have contact info and direct them to this website to register!

Second, will you need a hotel room? If so, contact Al Knapp and Lori Lainhart Knapp at Lorreyo@hotmail.com. They will take a head count and try to block off rooms at local inns and hotels.

Third: do you have old pictures? We are looking to gather old pictures (from OFA, elementary school, Jr. high, old reunions, etc.) to build a slide show. If you have any, you can send them electronically to Eric Pianosi.

Trivia questions: First ever trivia game to be played afterwards in lieu of awards. If you can think of some good OFA '77 trivia questions, send them to Jim Mattison (you might want to include the answers, too!)

As of now, the committee is headed by the following:

Joan Meyers, Jim Mattison, Jody Fisher ($$), Ann Hartman (Website), Laurie Adams (Decorating and Website, & vice chair), Kraig Moss (music), John Mann (vice chair and toastmaster), Mary Scott & Tracie Johnstone (name badges),Greg Kies (securing rental cars and helping with lodging arrangements), Eric Pianosi, Jeff Tiffany. Newer volunteers: Lori and Al Knapp, Marlene Pokrinchak & Kathie Orzol. Please let me know if I've left anyone out! 

All committees can use the extra help! We are also looking for volunteers for set-up and take-down on Friday and Saturday nights.

More information will come later.

In the meantime, HELP US FIND CLASSMATES!!

This is a big one, folks!! We'd like to see as many classmates as possible!
