From Bill Squires:

The friendly spirit and camaraderie of the LHS Class of 1967 continues long past the fabulous April reunion.  On a beautiful sunny Friday, September 14, eight of us spent a wonderful lunch hour (or two or three) in Cambridge reminiscing and having a great time.  (More photos are on the Facebook group.)  Mary Jane Dyson Disco is attempting to organize a group get-together in Florida, and others will try as well — use the address regionals@longmeadow1967.org to express interest in attending or hosting.

As previously announced and confirmed in the discussions of this group, the Class of 1967 will be making a contribution of $1,000.00 to LEEF, The Longmeadow Educational Excellence Foundation.  According to its website, LEEF “is a private, volunteer, nonprofit [501(c)3] educational foundation that was created to enrich and enhance  the quality of education in the Longmeadow Public Schools…[by] providing grants, beyond the tax-supported budget, for innovative education and enrichment programs.”  We thought those that may wish to contribute an additional amount can send a check payable to LHS Class of 1967 Reunion by October 15 to:  Bob Basdekis, 11 Jaynes Road, Lenox, MA 01240. If you want a tax deduction for your donation, the check has to be made out to LEEF, and there’s no guarantee it’ll be considered part of the class total. If you’d like individual credit as a donor, please donate directly through the LEEF website.
