Hello Class of '86!

So what's up with the reunion?

• We're going to hit around 150 attendees today. That is just great! If you want to see who is attending, or want to confirm your ticket purchase, please head over to the attendance list.


• One of our classmates has generously set up an Angel Fund for those of you that wish to attend but are having financial difficulty. Our most heartfelt thanks to Richard Garbarini for heading this up. If you feel you qualify for this fund, please email us and we'll put you in touch with him.


• Reunion committee member, and most importantly, new mom (hurray!), Marianne Merritt Talbot has offered to create a printed Professional Directory for a nominal fee, with all proceeds going to a good cause. The deadline for inclusion is August 30, so check out her website for all the details: Science86.biz


• As a countdown to the event in October, velvet-voiced Greg Gattuso will be producing short podcasts featuring classmate interviews and music from the 80's. We hope to release these on a bi-weekly schedule. Here's the link to the first one (future ones will not be as long). Click here to add the podcast to iTunes!

Now that is all great news, but we've saved the best for last! While ticket sales to the reunion event have been brisk, we've heard from several classmates requesting more time, and after looking over our schedule and numbers, we feel confident we can extend early bird pricing for another 30 days without any problems. So the current price of $125 will stay in effect until July 15! Yes!

So if you've been on the fence about the event, you have more time! If you're a parent and are busy dealing with your children and end-of-the-school-year activities, we understand! Not even July 4th weekend will get in the way, as the deadline ends more than a week later.

If you already bought your ticket(s), we thank you profusely! This is turning into quite an event. So please continue to spread the word so we can make this the biggest gathering of '86ers ever!

Head over to this page to get details on the reunion! Once you're ready, BUY TICKETS HERE.

Besides the website, we have a very active Facebook group page. Between that and our Twitter account, we will be able to offer all alumni, even if they can't attend, a way to participate in the reunion. More details to come!

The reunion takes place Saturday, October 22 from 6 to 11PM. This five hour party will be held at Harbour Lights Restaurant, located in lovely South Street Seaport, with a spectacular view of the Brooklyn Bridge, outdoor seating and a dance floor.

The evening includes five hours of premium open bar, hors d'oeuvres, dinner and dessert. When the official festivities end, the restaurant staff will stay and serve paid drinks as long as you like.

So spread the word and help us fill up seats and make this a night to remember!
