Jones Beach memories

I can remember getting sunburned at Jones Beach more times than I care to think about.

I can remember meeting girls there.

I remember the boardwalk.

I remember rollerskating there.

I remember playing handball with my brother and my uncle there.

I remember taking dates there.

I remember Nathan's hotdogs, the boardwalk, the sand, the surf, the umbrellas (which I never had the money for).

I remember the walk through the tunnel from the parking lot.

I remember sand in my shoes.

I remember the salt on my body.

I remember the traffic coming home and wanting to shower so badly.

and inspite of what Barbara Leary (Rivera) says, I do not have total CRS and do remember Jones Beach.

From Vegas to Jones Beach

We had originally thought having the 2007 (50th) reunion in Las Vegas was an exciting idea, but the hotels in Vegas could not commit to prices. In March we asked and they told us May. In May we asked and they told us June. In June we asked again and they said July so in July we cancelled Las Vegas because we needed to get the word out to everyone - website, newsletter, etc and everyone needed to make travel arrangements.

With so many of our classmates still living on Long Island we have returned to the Melville Marriott as our headquarters hotel. This time the main event will NOT be at the Melville Marriott, but a Jones Beach beach party.

Thanks to the efforts of Tommy Lamendola '57 and Allan Saren '55 (they both live on Long Island) we have secured the dates at the Melville Marriott and a caterer to cater our beach party at Jones Beach on Friday, July 20th, 2007. Allan has worked with the 'official' Jones Beach caterer, we couldn't use just any caterer we needed to use THEIR caterer. The caterer will serve for three hours, hot dogs, hamburgers, bbq chicken, etc. The full menu can be seen on our website www.levittownmemorial.org.

The dates of the reunion are July 19, 20, 21, 22, 2007.
The location is: Melville Marriott - make your reservations now. http://marriott.com/property/propertypage/NYCML
