Hello VNHS Party
Alumni,
Below
is an invitation to a party that you are invited to attend?
The '66 class every few years
(in-between reunions) throws a party
at someone's home ( similar to high
school right, but with a bit more maturity).
Several members of other classes have also joined us and we
wish
to encourage and welcome all 60's alumni.
These
get togethers create an opportunity to get to know your friends again on a different level, after 40 years of
life's dents and bruises and polishing. The parties are informal and friendly and have started
many new relationships.
So you
are warmly invited to join us in the fun of reconnecting with friends from our
school days.
Ciao! Classes of
1960's Van Nuys High Alumni,
In the immortal words of Chef Luigi
"The
Remember the Sepulveda Drive-in (who doesn't) before the movies
would start, they would try and get you to buy a pizza
and other stuff at the food concession ?
Well, in the any excuse for a party tradition of the
60's we are having an Italian Dinner Party!
And like our Sports Nights and
Drive-In's of our youthful past,
it is "open" to all and any who wish to mingle with friends
old and new from Van Nuys High.
The party will be Saturday, February 7th in
