Flying L Class of 1965 Invades Mia-Kia Thursday June 18

Please share or repost on your social media and forward to any and all Flying L's on your email lists.

The Flying L Class of 1965 is having their 50th reunion at  Pier 66 the weekend of June 19 & 20 and would like to invite Flying L's from any and all classes to a Pre-Reunion Happy Hour at the Mia-Kia on Thursday June 18 from 5 - ?? at the Mia-Kia on Federal Highway.  The more the merrier.

The Mia-Kia was chosen because many of you:

• Had your first illegal or first legal drink there
• Took your Prom or first date there
• Celebrated a birthday or anniversary there
• Parked cars there in high school, college or in between jobs
• Threw soap in the pools and fountains
• Puked in the parking lot from too much rum and fruit juice

Please let us know if you will attend by emailing FlyingL65@aol.com so we can make sure there is enough waitstaff, rum and blenders to accommodate the crowds.

If you are checking into Pier 66 early we will meet in the lobby at 4:15 to decide to car pool, taxi or Uber to the Mia-Kia.

Let's have 100 Flying L's represented.

Stranahan to sponsor an Armory reunion

Great news! The Stranahan class of 1967 is sponsoring a 1960s flashback Armory Dance Friday night party on July 13th 2012. And the best part is The Jesters will be playing! It will be just like old times! The Flashback Party will be open to the Stranahan classes of the 1960s, and we are inviting our old friends from Nova, Lauderdale, Plantation, St Thomas, Pine Crest and surrounding Broward County schools to join us. Please help out by passing the word. Remembering the old days! And the old music!

We know you’re as excited about this party as we are, but space is limited! Therefore you need to reserve your tickets as soon as possible. Advanced tickets are just $20 per person, but tickets at the door will be $25, if any are still available. The Ar...mory has been remodeled, its air conditioned now, but the floor space is still the same. There will also be Gourmet Food Trucks selling food and soft drinks. The more advance reservations we get, the bigger and better the event will be.

Reservations will be honored on a first come first serve basis. Checks should be made out to Stranahan Class Reunion and send to:

FLHS CLASS OF ‘66

45^th REUNION

June 10, 11 and 12, 2011

Embassy Suites – 17^th Street, Fort Lauderdale

Dear FLHS Classmate,

We’re excited about our 45^th Reunion and hope all of you are making plans now to attend. Response so far has been great.  Many have told us through our initial calls and emails that they’re planning to attend their very first reunion and, of course, we have many who attend each reunion.  June is fast approaching, as most dates do at this age, so book your reservations now to take advantage of discounted airline fares for early booking.

Hotel Reservations: As you may have already heard, we will hold the reunion at the Embassy Suites at 1100 SE 17^th Street. For choice of rooms and reservations visit the hotel’s Web site at: http://embassysuites.hilton.com/en/es/groups/personalized/F/FLLSOES-FHS-20110607

If you would rather make the reservations by phone, call: 1-800-362-2779.  You must mention “Fort Lauderdale High - Class of 66 Reunion” to receive the special rates.

Note: A complimentary Happy Hour, 5-7 p.m. and breakfast will be provided to hotel guests.

Schedule of Events:

Friday, June 10.  The hospitality suite, Room 821, will be open all day for classmates to meet and greet.  Our Friday night event will include a disc jockey and light menu. The hotel bar, close by, will be available for pay-as-you-go drinks. Casual dress.

Saturday, June 11   During the day you can visit with friends by the beautiful pool, relax in our hospitality suite, or ask the concierge about available activities in Fort Lauderdale. A dinner buffet will feature pasta, beef and chicken dishes.  The DJ will return for another evening of oldie goldies. Drinks available at hotel bar. You can dance, watch or talk the night away. Once again dress will be casual.

Sunday, June 12.  If you’re staying at the Embassy, make plans to join friends in the hotel lobby dining area for a complimentary breakfast (to hotel guests) and one last good bye. It will be a great way to wind up a weekend to remember.

Memorabilia room:  If you were at the last few reunions, you know we display FLHS and alumni memorabilia. Help update our display with photos by sending copies we can keep of current family pictures, old high school pictures and photos from past reunions.  If you are unable to attend the reunion, we would like to include a picture of you and your family. Please label photo from left to right. 

Activities:  Check with the hotel concierge before or during the reunion to see what’s available that weekend.

Alumni Directory:  Once again we will be compiling a directory after the reunion.  The cost will be included in our last bulletin sent before the reunion.

Thanks for all the donations, every dollar helps make our reunions special. We hope to see everyone the weekend of June 10th.  Remember, a reunion is as great as the attendees and more valued as each five years passes.
