A committee of classmates has come together to create a fabulous reunion for the Pinecrest classes of 1970 through 1975. The dates for the reunion are June 14-15, 2013, so mark your calendars now.

Our immediate focus is to make sure we contact everyone who was a member of the Pinecrest classes of 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974 and 1975. Finding addresses for the women is especially challenging because of their married names.

Please reach out to your classmates, make them aware of the reunion, and have them send us their mailing and email addresses. They can do this on the submission form on our website mentioned below.

On Friday, June 14, we will be having a get-together at Aberdeen Lake from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m., featuring food, music and games. On Saturday, June 15, we have planned a dinner dance at the Southern Pines Elks/Country Club from 6 p.m. to midnight. There will be a cash bar that evening. Music will be provided by DJ Robbie Farrell, of Aberdeen. Both the Friday and Saturday events are included for $75 per person.

We have established a reunion website, www.pinecrest reunion2013.net. Please feel free to contact any of the committee members if you have information about classmates, suggestions for the reunion, or if you would like to volunteer on a reunion committee. We meet each month, usually the third Thursday of the month, at First Bank at Pinecrest Plaza.

We hope to have a great turnout for this reunion, but it won’t happen without you, your help and your participation. It should be lots of fun catching up with one another after 40-plus years.
