You can become a sponsor!
This is a special milestone event, and the planning committee believes in two principles.
1) that the event be memorable.
2) that everyone feel welcomed with the goal of having as many classmates attend as desire
To achieve these goal requires providing a unique experience while keeping the ticket cost down. Being EPHS graduates, we're all smart enough to know these two objectives are in conflict. We also know that the Class of 76 is a kind and generous group. Therefore, the most workable solution to achieve both these objectives was to transform this cruise into the Love Boat. In that tradition you don't really need a reason to give, do you? But if you need one, here it is: we're offer an opportunity to those classmates who may have found favor in life, to give a little back to the group which provided the foundation upon which that success was built. Every little bit helps, whether is a few dollars or a few hundred dollars, it all matters. If you are so inclined, please go to one of the many buttons located throughout this website that's labeled "Be a Sponsor." Your help will contribute to the success of our 50th class reunion. It will be appreciated by all. All it takes is a few button clicks. Thank you!
