Ideas from PHHS Class of 1961 50th Reunion

After over 18 months of planning, the Class of 1961's 50th Reunion is set for the weekend of July 15-17th in Port Huron.

Our main event is a reception, dinner and dance at the Thomas Edison Inn, located on the St. Clair River almost under the Blue Water Bridges. Your Reunion Team has planned seven different events to help our class members reconnect and enjoy seeing old friends again.

Tickets will officially go on sale on this website on Tuesday, February 15. (However, you can purchase tickets now - see below.) A mailer will be sent to all those class members for whom we have a validated mailing address on February 15. The number of tickets sold for each event will be limited; tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

Our flexible dinner & reception ticket price policy: 

If you know of class members who'd like to attend, but for whom the $55 would be too much, let us know. Several class members have already donated funds for this purpose. Just contact us. No one who receives assistance will be identified in any way.

If your financial situation allows, please consider donating something extra on the order form to help underwrite the cost for others. You can purchase "donation tickets" in $10 increments. Purchase 3 to donate $30, 5 to donate $40, etc.
