We are extending an invitation to the Burbank High Class of 1955 to join us on Friday, in the Hospitality Room, if they have tickets for our MEET & GREET…

WHAT’S ALL IN THE HOSPITALITY ROOM?   Well, this is the place!!!!

1. Memorabilia Tables: Collection of Albums that Denny has put together, over the years, of the CLASS EVENTS.   He’ll also be showing MOVIES, SLIDES, ETC. of these Events. Old YEAR BOOKS will be displayed surrounded by old NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS from our School Years. ( Don Garner & Ron Geraci will assist Denny with this). (Any items that you would like to share and/or display for a few days, would be greatly appreciated)

2. Refreshments: Cold Drinks, Lemonade, Coffee, Tea and PETIT FOURS & CHIP W/DIP….

5. Donations: We will have a DONATION BOX to cover our cost for the HOSPITALITY ROOM for the (2) Days… We are trying to keep the tickets for the MEET & GREET & REUNION at minimum costs, but unfortunately, these events prices won’t cover our Hospitality Room expenses, now. We’ll need to depend on the generosity of our Classmates to make THE HOSPITALITY ROOM a hit.
