So you may want to bundle up…

Just so you know, the folks at the Garrett Park Town Hall are recommending that we park at the elementary school down Oxford Street, about a block past the Town Hall. So when turning onto Kenilworth Avenue from Strathmore, you would pass the Town Hall and continue down Kenilworth past the left hand turn onto Oxford Street to the right hand turn onto Oxford Street a little further on (if that’s a tad confusing, see the Google map in the post below), and turn right there. Go down Oxford a little way and there will be a parking lot on the right.

It may seem a bit of a walk back to the Town Hall from there, but it looks like there is a footpath into the Holy Cross Academy parking lot from the elementary school parking lot, and from there I’ve heard there is another footpath to take you to the Town Hall. Since Holy Cross is private property, obviously we cannot recommend parking there instead. There will probably be some street parking in the neighborhood around the Town Hall, but it will likely be scarce, and not nearly enough for all the people we expect will be coming. So if you do decide to park on the street, please be courteous to the neighborhood residents.

If you’re unfamiliar with the neighborhood, here’s a tip: go to the Google map I’ve posted below and select the ‘Hybrid’ view from the buttons at the top right hand corner. In the upper left corner of the map there are arrow buttons for scrolling up, down, left and right, and two buttons marked ‘+’ and ‘-’. Click on the plus button two or three times to zoom in and you will get a good view of the layout of the area around the town hall, and where the parking is. You can also scroll the map by click dragging with your mouse cursor.

Note please, that Google Maps has the specific location of the town hall wrong: it’s not near the corner of Oxford Street and Kenilworth…it’s much closer to Kenilworth and Strathmore.

See you all there!

The reunion committee mailbox was experiencing a problem taking delivery of incoming mail and regrettably we only noticed that this morning (we tended as the date approached, to ‘cc each other a lot on specific tasks, like arranging the venue, getting the catering done, putting together the reunion DVD, thereby bypassing the committee mailbox). The good news is that it looks like anything that was sent to us in the past 28 hours was still waiting in the queue and has now been delivered. The bad news is that anything older then that has probably been lost now. So if you sent the committee anything and you didn’t get a response or you got a bounce-back please resend.

Sorry again…and thanks!

I’ve been asked if you can show up at the door with ticket money in hand. Of Course! If you haven’t had time to send us your check, or you only got the notice recently, please don’t feel left out. Come on by and have a good time with the rest of us.

Once more, the location is the the Garrett Park Town Hall, located at 10814 Kenilworth Avenue, Garrett Park, Maryland 20896. We’ll be gathering this Friday, November 23, 2007, from 7 to 11PM.

Here’s a helpful map to get you there…

Sorry folks, but our mailbox has been having some problems recently.  If you’ve sent the committee email and didn’t get a reply (or you got a bounce message) please resend to bruce@brucegarrett.com and I’ll see to it that your mail is forwarded on to the rest of the committee.

Time passes, the universe expands…and yet some parts of our lives just seem to last forever. Recognize any of these people…? After all…you went to school with them…

See you in a few days…
