REUNION UPDATE! from Karen (Entwistle) Urtz

"Hi everyone, and thanks for getting back to us with your thoughts so we could make the best decision for all. It looks like Oct 9, 2021 works best, so we're proceeding with that as a firm date. Our choice of venues are limited if we want to stay local, which we think works best. But we did find a good one we hope you'll like!"

"It's the M.V. Golf and Event Center and Tin Cup Tavern (formerly Mohawk Valley Country Club), 6069 NY-5, Little Falls. That's just outside of Herkimer towards Little Falls. Depending on how many we are, we may be inside or outside under the big tent. There will be heaters if needed. The view will be beautiful, everywhere you look with the fall foliage on full display...

"Now that we have a date and place we'll start working on costs that will include dinner of course and we think a live band with people you probably know! We're thinking of other "things to do" if people are interested that will be at your own expense (i.e. golf, Herkimer canal cruise, new walking path along the canal from Ilion to Little Falls and beyond, and possible school tour?

"So for now, hang tight, make travel reservations if necessary. More to come down the road, but we wanted to get this update out to you sooner than later. Please spread the word as there are many we haven't heard from who may not know about this. Hope you are all well....look forward to seeing you this year! (May 19, 2021)

As everyone is undoubtedly aware it has been almost 50 years since we all left good old Ilion High. We have gone in many directions but we will always share a common bond with the village, the teachers, the school and each other. Let's celebrate and reconnect with friends we may not have seen in a long time. Plans are being made for a 50th class reunion to be held on Friday July 19th- to be followed by what is being called a mini mega class reunion for the classes of 1963-1973 to be held the next day. Details to follow.

Please pass the word to any and all classmates you know - the bigger the turnout the more fun we will all have. This page is not only to keep everyone updated on the activities of the reunion but also to share with each other memories, photos, information on classmates and friends, and anything else of interest to the class.

As plans develop we will pass them on- it should be a wonderful weekend!! We can't wait to hear from you!!!
SAVE THE DATE - JULY 19-20. (March 31, 2019)

1965 70th Birthday Bash

The Facebook Event Class of '65 70th Birthday Party, can be found on the Facebook page.

Friday July 21 - Those who would like, we will be gathering on the Elks Lawn around 5 pm, the Doo Dah parade starts at 6 pm. Many other classmates, from other classes, always hang around there, so we should get to see many others. Bring lawn chairs if you like, but they do have some picnic tables set up and have food and drinks to purchase.

Saturday July 22 - We will have a gathering at the Maneen Pavilion around 1 PM. The Ilion Boy Scouts always have a Chicken BBQ that day, and we thought we would order from there and have it brought to the picnic. We will have other munchies and of course a large Birthday Cake!! Will be adding extra information as it gets closer...Jean Keddell Maneen (July 27, 2015)

 

Class Pages/Reunions published via facebook.....

Below is a compilation of classes actively using facebook for communicating with classmates. Links will open in new browser windows. You may not find all your classmates when you are organizing reunions because not all classmates have facebook login ids. Please do not soley rely on facebook to publish reunion invitations because you may miss contacting ALL class members.

*** SUGGESTION *** - If your class is going to use facebook to coordinate and publish reunion information, consider creating a Class Reunion PAGE (not group) and set the security restrictions so that it is visible to the public and has no age restrictions. Facebook Pages are visible to everyone on the internet by default. This approach will allow you to reach all your classmates, not just those that are registered facebook users. Even public facing Facebook Groups are only accessible to any alumnus who does have a Facebook Account.

You should respect your audience by including the real names of the Administrators in the About Section of any Group and/or Page that you create and administer. (updated February 11, 2017)

"Authenticity is at the core of Facebook. Just as profiles should represent real people and real names, so too should Pages for entities. Only the official representatives of a public figure, business or organization should create a Facebook Page." - Facebook Policies

Community pages are built around topics, causes or experiences. Many community pages display Wikipedia articles about the topics they represent, as well as related posts from other people on Facebook in real time.

Official Pages are maintained by authorized representatives of a business, brand, celebrity, or organization, and they can create and share content about the entities that they represent. Non-facebook users can see the page if its security is set to public with no age restrictions.

Groups allow you to communicate directly with other people on Facebook about a specific subject. Anyone can create and admin a group. Requires that a visitor be logged in to facebook to see the group.

Facebook Security Settings

Open: Anyone on Facebook can see the group and join. That means the group will appear in search results and all content that members post (ex: photos, videos and files) is visible to anyone viewing the group.

Closed: Anyone on Facebook can see the group name and members, but only group members can see posts in the group. Unless you're added to the group by another member, you'll need to ask to join. You'll become a member when your request is approved.

Secret: These groups cannot be found in searches, and non-members can't see anything about the group, including its name and member list. The name of the group will not display on the profiles (timelines) of members. To join a secret group, you need to be added by a member of the group.
