Class of 1997 - Celebrating 15 Years!
You've waited 15 years for it and the wait is over!
Our 15 year reunion will be held on Dec 29th at 8pm at Sindbads on the River. (SATURDAY)
(off of Jefferson, next to the Roostertail). See link to map below.
Address: 100 Saint Clair Street, Detroit, MI 48214
We have the private room upstairs with outdoor balcony and a cash bar from 8-1am.
The cost is $25 per person, $50 per couple.
This covers the rental of the room, hot and cold hors d'oeuvres, tax, and gratuity. Would have liked to have had it somewhere for free and let people fend for themselves on food, but nobody wanted to rent us a room/space without some type of deposit and assurance of food purchases. And since we had about 100 people (counting spouses) at our 10 year, I felt we needed some type of reserved seating.
The cold food will be out right away, the hot food out around 9.
There will not be a charge for teachers/administrators as I'd like to encourage them to come and there's a couple of bucks built into that $25 that I'll use to up the final count for Sindbads to make sure there's a little extra food.
I would like to leave it open for ND friends from other years who would like to come as well as guys who were in our class, but didn't graduate with us. Just have these guys reach out to me ahead of time.
I need your help:
- Pass the word around, if you're in contact with a class member or faculty member please contact them and/or forward me their info. I'm not sure how many people actually get these emails. I'll be using Facebook as well, but don't quite have everyone covered between the two.
- Please notify me even if you can't make it. That way I know this message got to you and I won't have to track you down on Facebook, cell, at home or at work. Just kidding of course, I would never show up at your work.
- Pay ahead of time, before Dec 20th when I have to give the final count for food:

One touchy issue; I won't be turning anyone away at the door, but I am counting on everyone to pay up front so I can give the right count on the food and make sure we actually have enough guys to reserve the space. I need to give this to Sindbads on Dec 20th. If we don't hit the minimum I have to move/cancel the reunion and lose my deposit or cough up the extra money myself. So basically good ole Jenkins will be out money just for trying to setup a little reunion around Christmas time.
So if you have legitimate reason for being late or being able to make it when you didn't think you would be able to, just contact me ahead of time and we'll work something out. Being a cheapskate and trying to avoid paying the $25 is not a legitimate reason though and if enough guys do this it will jeopardize this reunion and future reunions.
Feel free to text me with any questions. I will issue refunds if something comes up and you can't make it up until Dec 20th.
Hope to see you there,
