The final and detailed itinerary and information has been emailed as a pdf attachment to everyone who registered for the reunion. Meanwhile, below is the general schedule of events.

Friday afternoon mixer, 4 to 6pm - Pepper's Mexican Restaurant, 181 Colorado Pl, Arcadia CA 91007 - Map
        Dress is California casual or what ever you are comfortable with but not get you thrown out.
        Please arrive between 4 and 5pm and find Denis or Tom to check in and get your ID button.
        Your $10 pp got us a reserved room, a patio and an appetizer buffet. Order your own drinks from the bar.
        IMO Peppers makes the best margaritas. Our happy hour price on Margs are $4.75 and beer $3.50 - $4.00.
        Dinner on your own, stay at Pepper's or there are a number of good restaurants on Huntington near the hotels.
        Our room and patio will turn back into dining area after 6pm. No reservations necessary.

Saturday morning at leisure - Golf, tour South Pas, Route 66 Cruisin' Reunion, or relax.
        4pm to 9pm reunion and dinner at the Santa Anita Race Track Clubhouse with the Mona Kai theme.
              Dress is Hawaiian, but smart casual or whatever you are comfortable wearing is fine.
              Drive in at Santa Anita Race Track Gate 5 at the junction of Huntington Dr. and Colorado Pl. - See the Map,
              then follow the SPHS 58/59 Reunion signs to our parking area in front of the Clubhouse entrance.
        4:00pm - Doors open, check in by year and last name at SPHS at the registration table and get your photo name badge.
              Please arrive before 4:30pm so our check in volunteers have some time to schmooze and have a drink.
        4 to 5:30pm - Meet and greet . Attendee's and their +1's will each get 1 drink ticket at sign in.
              This ticket is good for soft drinks, beer, wine and well drinks all except top shelf.
              Additional drinks are available at the 2 cash bars. Appetizers will be provided from 4pm to 5pm.
              Bars will remain open until 8:30pm.
        5:30 to 7pm - Buffet dinner. Open seating at 12 tables of 10 seats each - menu.
        7 to 9pm - Our MC's Lenore McManigal '58 and Rob Clyde '59 have planned a short program followed by more
              schmoozing, dancing or listening to tunes from our era by our DJ Don Ziegler '59.

Sunday morning - For those still in town, we have 3 suggestions for those that wish to gather about 9am.
        Many are staying at the Embassy Suites and intend to have breakfast there as their breakfast is included with their room.
              Others can join them for breakfast for $17pp.
        Peppers has a great brunch for $12.99 pp if you did not get enough Mexican food.
        Twohey's emailed me on 9/7 that they will be open at the old Alhambra location on the 23rd.
              So no matter where you decide to go for breakfast, you can still make time to get a hot fudge sundae.

Speaking of memories, check out Lost in the 50's Again sent in by our spinner of tunes Don Ziegler.
