NOW IS THE TIME FOR ’60 OUT!

Registration extended to April 28.

If you have opened your Newsletter you will have a version of these highlights of our 70th Birthday Party in Boston from June 12th to 15th.  You can find the fuller explanation of events on the Class Website at www. Dartmouth.org/classes/60/.  We have your “Interest Form”.  Today you have an “Invoice” that lets you confirm your specific interest, figure your bill and then send your money.  Money deadline is April 18, so that we can pay bills ahead and save on taxes for all events.

Welcome Cocktail Party:  Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30.  We have tasted the hors d’oeuvres and they will be a good starter for “Dinner with Your Friends”.  We will send a list of local hot restaurants far enough ahead for you arrange the dinner dates.  Forty of our classmates will go to Fenway at 7:00

Friday for Boston Tours:  You will need to sign up to purchase a GoBostonCard.  Then you can trolley to twenty locales and see forty Boston highlights.  If you sign up for the 1960 MFA Museum Tour, that trolley will leave the Marriott at 9:45.  Those who make advance registration for the special tours on GoBoston will get letters on the details.  As you can see the Whale Watch is now only available on Friday.  Great deals, discounts and other stuff.  See www.GoBostonCard.com.  Get a free Guidebook as well.

Clambake:  Our Boston Harbor cruise ship will leave from the Marriott at 6:15.  Fun, games, music and a traditional New England Clambake await on Thompson Island.  We will head back to the Marriott at 9:45.  Hardy souls can make late dates if they are fit!

Saturday for Boston Tours:  If you did not get to all of the Boston venues on Friday, you can select a second day with the GoBostonCard on Saturday.  The second MFA Museum Tour group will meet its trolley at the Marriott at 9:45.  Send money for any of the advanced registration tours now.

Boston Pops with Dinner and Sondheim:  If you make one event, this might be the most expensive, but the best value for the dollar.  Dinner should be different and spectacular starting at 6:00—if you want to dress up, fine.  Separately, with Pops tickets, we go into Symphony Hall at 8:00 to enjoy Keith Lockhart conducting Sondheim.  A Broadway cast performs, headlined by Christine Ebersole (google her!). Transportation to and from the Marriott is by trolley about thirty minutes before the first waitress serves.

Breakfast at Fanueil Hall:  Lots of variety at a Continental Breakfast under the dome in the Old Marketplace.  We will have the place to ourselves so linger over coffee with your getting-older friends.

Great Issues at the Great Hall:  It is only 200 paces to the historic Great Hall.  A brief Class meeting and then a panel of our peers will address current and past presidential campaigns, led by the estimable Tom Trimarco.  We will also have a concluding commentary by a guest who is funnier than anyone we heard in Dartmouth Hall.  You may wear Great Issue attire if you dare.  Done before lunch!

One Major Change:  To help with cost and to respect the concerns of many classmates, all alcohol will be served at a Cash Bar only.  There will be full bars and bottles of wine may be purchased at Symphony Hall.  And while there will be no direct alcohol expense tied to each event, venue charges, bartenders and food costs are reflected in the Per Person fees for these events.

NOW. IF YOU PASSED MATH 1 WITH BANCROFT BROWN, FIGURE OUT YOUR OWN INVOICE BASED ON YOUR PERSONAL PREFERENCES ON THE ATTACHED FORM.  The Package Price gets you into all events Class events.  BostonGoCard is separate.

SEND A CHECK.  ONCE YOUR CHECK ARRIVES, THE CLASS WILL PAY FOR ALL TICKETS AND MAKE ALL RESERVATIONS, INCLUDING HOTEL RESERVATIONS.  THIS PAYMENT METHOD WILL ALLOW US TO USE DARTMOUTH’S TAX FREE STATUS TO KEEP COSTS DOWN.
