Register here…. it’s easy! https://vasj.com/sj70 A NOTE ABOUT SAFETY per Kevin: We will follow the guidelines established by the State of Ohio. Those guidelines become our Bible and we adhere to them. If on the day before our reunion the guidelines change to no masked gatherings, we cancel the reunion. If vaccinated individuals are required to wear masks indoors, we wear masks. A couple of examples as it relates to our venues. Golf is outdoors and should be fine. Dinner will be according to State of Ohio guidelines. Bocce is also open air. Friday night we will provide tables outside in the courtyard area. Saturday Mass will set up in gym if no other school event is happening or remain in Chapel if conditions have improved as determined by State of Ohio. Saturday at LaSalle will follow State of Ohio guidelines. FYI, the air handling units are brand new and the environment is better than VASJ gym. Sunday the venue will be open area. The club house has screening that will allow good ventilation if weather is inclement. Unvaccinated classmates are asked to follow all guidelines as stipulated in State of Ohio guidelines. We will be using an honor system. ONE MORE THING: Class of 1970 Steps up once again for VASJ Keeping Our Promises (KOP) Campaign OUR FAITH – OUR FAMILY – OUR FUTURE 1.
