The 4Points by Sheraton/San Rafael (our ‘Host Hotel’) was originally a ‘Holiday Inn’ that opened during our final year of high school in 1969. Many of our classmates landed their first jobs as teenagers working at the ‘Holiday Inn On The Hill’ doing things for probably $1.75 to $2.00 per hour that they will likely never forget doing. 50 years hence we’re going to gather together again at the top of the hill in celebration of our 50th Class Reunion and as you can see by the images above and below – the place has never looked better…

Please Remember: For a limited period of time you can reserve either a King or a Double Queen room at the 4Points by Sheraton/San Rafael for ONLY $179 per night!(These special rate rooms are available on a first come – first served basis and when they’re gone – they’re gone. So, please don’t delay any longer making your ‘Host Hotel’ room reservations.) If you’d like to secure your room right now please ‘click’ through to our TLHS Class of 1969 Reservation portal.

It’s not a big hotel, yet it’s not a small hotel. It is definitely well-appointed for the business or 50th Reunion Traveller. So, bring your workout clothes, bring your swimsuit, bring your appetite and your thirst to the 4Points by Sheraton/San Rafael – ‘cuz you’ll need them all during our 50th Reunion Partay! weekend.

3 days x 4 events = a 50th Reunion Partay! that the TLHS Class of 1969 is ready to enjoy together with great gusto and good feelings. All that’s left for you to do (if you have not done so already) is to register for the Events you want to attend and secure your ‘Host Hotel’ room – sooner rather than later.

We’re looking forward to having a wonderful weekend together in October and as 50th Reunions go – this one is going to be as special as we can make it. Safe travels on your ways back home and thanks for staying connected these five decades long.

Here in 2019, the Mirrors of Our Trojan Past Partay will reflect images and memories back to us of times spent together, days spent apart, and the importance of our being able to return to the community from whence we came, which helps us to better understand why we are where we are in our lives today.

So, on Saturday, October 12th, 2019, beginning at 5:00 pm and running through until 10:00 pm at the Marinwood Community Center, we classmates from the Terra Linda High School Class of 1969 (and our many friends) will gather together in celebration of our lives, our memories, and our relationships – with great food, drink, music, and more.

The atmosphere and dress for the Partay will be casual with table seating available indoors and out (weather permitting). The fresh-made, all-you-can-eat BBQ menu will include hamburgers, hot dogs, polish sausage, chicken, veggie burgers, salads and desserts. Wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided, plus, if you have a favorite homebrew or homemade wine varietal that you’d like to share – we’ll have ice chests available for the Bring-Your-Own-Brew crew to fill-up as they’d like.

We’ve all been friends – some closer, some not so close – for 50+ years. As a group, you may remember that we provide a scholarship to one deserving senior student at TLHS every year. In order to secure the funding for that program a Silent Auction will take place during Saturday’s BBQ Partay (as well as on Friday night @ San Rafael Joe’s). Included in these auction(s) will be items like this from Mary Meyers Cheése…

Also, Paul and Diane Ennis do a fair amount of nature/outdoor photography and they plan on submitting some framed photos to our Silent Auctions, which could grace the walls of your home or office – along the lines of these images…

But, our Saturday BBQ Partay is going to be about much more than fund-raising. We have a very talented class of people who’ve spent years and years of time in a variety of performance-based endeavors and we’re going to put on a Talent Showcase beginning at 6:00 pm that will be sure to tickle your fancy, stimulate your heartbeat, and sooth your souls. We have singers, muscians, poets, writers and comedians among our ranks and you’ll get to hear from them all before the evening is over… (If you want to secure your 15-minutes of fame on our stage – please contact Natalie Cox via e-mail here – musicians@lmi.net)

The 50th Reunion of our class is no doubt a momentous occasion. One worthy of our spending the kind of quality time together that we’re planning to do, and that we don’t often get to do. Too many of us are not here, for a variety of reasons, which only makes it that much more important to savor, celebrate, and keep our hearts and minds focused on the present – the only ‘real’ thing that matters in the end.

We’re looking forward to having a wonderful weekend together in October and as 50th Reunions go – this one is going to be as special as we all can make it. Safe travels on your ways back home and thanks for staying connected these five decades long.

Our 50th Reunion Celebration will slide into San Rafael Joe’s Banquet Room from 6:00 pm until 10:30 pm on Friday, October 11, 2019. The Welcome Home Reception: Blue and Gold Night festivities will include a cocktail party-style event with delicious hors d’oeuvres and ‘No-Host/Cash Bar’ beverage service – right in the heart of downtown San Rafael. We’ll be playing our class music, telling tall tales, enjoying great food and drinks, bidding on ‘Silent Auction’ items in support of our Class Scholarship Fund and celebrating 50-years of memories and life events together. (BTW, convenient parking is available in several off-street and on-street areas of 4th Street.)

The casual atmosphere and spacious surroundings in San Rafael Joe’s Banquet Room will lend itself well to our 50th Reunion Celebration. In fact, on both Friday and Saturday nights there will be a variety of ‘Silent Auction’ items on display – all of which have been made, produced, and/or created by our fellow classmates over the course of their past 50+ years of living. So, besides making a contribution in support of our Class Scholarship Fund – anyone who wins an auction item will also be picking up an original work of something – made by someone they’ve known from as far back as 1969. For instance…

We’re all gonna be treated to some high quality Natalie Cox Harp music in two different ways: She will be donating several of her audio CD’s in support of the ‘Silent Auction’, and she will be performing on Saturday night at the Marinwood Community Center as a part of our ‘Talent Showcase’ during the BBQ dinner festivities. If you would like to learn more about Natalie and her musical work please check out her website here. Plus…

If you’ve always wanted to have a Michael Moss print grace the walls of your home or office – this October you’ll have a chance to bid on and perhaps win one – whilst supporting our Class Scholarship Fund in the process. (Whether or not Michael performs as a part of the ‘Talent Showcase’ on Saturday night will depend upon how much alcohol he consumes, and/or how high the bidding/betting gets up to between us all as coercive co-conspirators.) If you would like to learn more about Michael’s work and see examples of his award winning photographs online please visit his cafepress online portal here or, his redbubble gallery here or, his zazzle online storefront here.

At San Rafael Joe’s on Friday night October 11th your taste buds will also be able to enjoy a variety of Italian cold cuts, cheeses, mini-meatballs, deep fried zucchini, stuffed mushroom caps, Frittata, Bruschetta, deep fried ravioli and calamari, as well. Plus, we will have our own private ‘No-Host/Cash Bar’ service within the Banquet Room to keep the libations flowing. Can you say: “A good time will be had by all!”

Hope to C U cruising down 4th Street on the way to San Rafael Joe’s in October!

Many, many things have changed on our beloved Terra Linda High School campus over the past 50+ years. Here’s a rundown of the most recent renovation and construction projects that we’ll be able to check-out on our ‘Back-To-School Campus Tour’ – Friday, October 11th, 2019.

Over the past few years several large building projects have been initiated on the TLHS campus at an expected cost of $ 36 Million+. These include the construction of a NEW 2-story Student Commons Building, which will house a Cafeteria, Kitchen, Music Classroom, Drama Classroom, Black Box Theater, Library, Computer Classroom, Accessory Classrooms and Staff Lounge.

• If you would like to learn more about these specific TLHS projects you can review a .pdf file, which contains the SRCS June 2019 Summary Update, by ‘clicking’ the ‘Download’ button below. Or, if you really want to dive deep into these issues you can visit the San Rafael City Schools Bond Program Website for even more details.

Construction site-work begun earlier this year included the renovation/removal of our famously, or infamously, ‘Bunny Covered Amphitheater’.

We’ve made arrangements with the Leadership Class at TLHS to provide us with several Student Docents for our ‘Back-to-School Campus Tour’ on Friday afternoon, October 11th, 2019 from 3:00 pm until 4:30 pm. We’ll meet in front of the Gymnasium (next to the football field) and proceed ahead into the campus environs from there.

The swimming pool is still the same – the football field is definitely not…

There’s only one Terra Linda High School (no matter how much it’s changed in 50+ years). We hope you will join us on Friday afternoon, October 11th, 2019 beginning at 3:00 pm for our ‘Back-to-School Campus Tour’. We’ll be cruising down memory lane and gliding back into the present-day reality of what Terra Linda High School has become here in 2019 – all in 90 minutes, or less!

Progress and change are good – keeping up with things is essential to understanding how we got to where we are today.

C U back on-campus in October!
