8TH  ANNUAL  FLORIDA  MINI-REUNION

The BFHS Class of 1961 held its 8th annual Mini-Class reunion and luncheon on Tuesday, March 8, 2022, at the Havana Country Club Restaurant in The Villages, Florida. Members of the class and their guests gathered at 1:30 pm for appetizers and conversation. Lunch was served at 2:00 pm.  Tables in the restaurant's outdoor covered patio were used for the luncheon which made it easier to enjoy the warm and sunny weather.

The 2022 Mini-Reunion pictures have been posted on the Home page. They can be accessed by clicking on the menu item on the top left-hand side of the Home page. Pictures from last year's mini-reunion are also posted on the Home page. They can be viewed by selecting Pics from 4 Mini- Reunions which is located in the horizontal menu in black on the right-hand side of the Home page. 

There was no cover charge or fee for the Mini-Reunion and attendees made their meal choices from the Havana Country Club Restaurant menu. Attendees included classmates who live in Florida (24), classmates who were vacationing in Florida, and classmates who drove to Florida to attend this event.  To see a list of classmates who live in Florida or in any state, click on that state in the WHERE WE LIVE section, on the right-hand side of the Home page.

Beaver Falls High School Class of 1961's

60th Reunion a Success

September 23, 2021

Following the cancellation of the Beaver Falls High School Class of 1961's Reunion (a truly special class), initially scheduled at the New Galilee Fire Hall on September 11, 2021, several classmates expressed an interest in using a different venue and selecting a new date to reschedule this special event. That interest resulted in Sonny and Gerri Borello taking on the responsibility of helping schedule and organize the Class of 1961's 60th Reunion at a restaurant in the Beaver Falls area that was willing and capable of hosting this event.

On Thursday, September 23, 2021, the Beaver Falls High School Class of 1961's 60th reunion was held at the Grand Valley Inn in Fallston, Pa. It was a beautiful fall day as members of the class gathered to reconnect, spend time together, and catch up on life's events. It was an enjoyable day and a great opportunity to meet and talk with good friends.

We would like to thank everyone who attended the 60th class reunion. Your support is very much appreciated. We would especially like to thank Gerri and Sonny Borello who stepped forward to help schedule and make the arrangements for the 60th class reunion at the Grand Valley Inn. Their efforts included communicating with classmates, making arrangements with the restaurant, and getting everything ready at the restaurant to welcome everyone. A special thank you goes to Gerri Borello for putting together the decorations and setting up the restaurant to create a welcoming atmosphere.

A big thank you also goes to Mike MacDonald for providing the music from our era at this event which helped bring back memories of our high school years. Mike's efforts are even more noteworthy when you consider that he packs up his trailer of equipment and drives from Avon, Indiana to the reunion site where he unpacks his trailer and sets up all of this equipment. Thank you, Mike, you are the man!

Please know that a photo gallery of pictures from the 60th class reunion has been set up and can be viewed by clicking on the last menu item on the left side of the Home page. An individual picture on a page can be accessed by clicking on it.  This action opens and enlarges the picture on the screen so the picture, and its caption, can be viewed.

When an individual picture is opened, the remaining reunion pictures will automatically advance on the screen, one picture at a time, until all pictures have been displayed.

If anyone has pictures from the reunion they would like to share, please forward them to our attention.

Thanks to Sonny and Gerri Borello

Thanks to Mike MacDonald
