Welcome to the James F. Byrnes Class of 1995 Official 20 Year Reunion Website!
We are planning a spectacular event and we hope that you will join us!
(More NEW Than Before)
Updated: 23 Sept 15 at 11:30pm
Hey Reunion Folks: well, we did have a great time didn't we? Based on feedback from the group, we will keep the idea of a 30 year Reunion alive. Someone else will chair it next time, but I volunteer to be the "Keeper of the Flame" until it's time to start discussions again in nine years or so. Peace out BHS Class of '95! If anyone else really wants to keep tabs on things, please just shoot me a message, and I'll be happy to let them do it.
This website will stay up if it's ever needed again.

Folks, due to the gracious support of the food providers for our Reunion, we will be able to accept ticket sales through next Wednesday, 9 September 2015.
I believe that will be the final date that we'll be able to accept folks signing-up for the Reunion.
I appreciate everyone's patience as we've worked through several issues in the past day or so.
We are opening the event to folks who graduated from Byrnes "around the time we graduated" in 1995.
And we've always intended to invite classmates who would have graduated with us- but didn't for some reason.
The goal is to be with friends- many whom we haven't seen in a long time.
Please purchase your tickets/RSVP by clicking on the "Buy Tickets Now Online" button beside the calender countdown at the top right side of the page.

Price:$15 a head if we have 150 attend, $20 a head if only 100 attend- the extra $5 a head will be taken at the front door.
Again, we need tickets to be purhased by 9 September 15 so that we know how many people are coming for furniture/space/food order reasons.
The details- River Falls Club House
River Falls Country Club, Duncan SC
Time: 7:00pm, Saturday 19 Sept 2015
Dress: Business Casual (No suit or tie please- slacks, polos, nice dresses, but not prom level dresses... y'all get it.)
Food by Sully's- soon to be published menu.
DJ- Thomas Wilson
Wedding Photo Contest: Ended
Class of '95 Alumni,
We've been in contact with Brian Lane, and we've determined that the best two football games to host our Reunion would be played the weekend of Sept 19 or Oct 17 2015. Instead of having a formal vote, which requires logging-in, etc... please email me at mnorket@hotmail.com which date you prefer. Please let me know by 15 June at 9:00pm.
After we finalize the date- it's full speed ahead with the event planning. I appreciate everyone's patience as we've worked through the difficulties of picking a date and venue.
And again, we'll be having a semi-formal party at the River Falls Club House. More details to come after the date is finalized.

Per the votes cast, the reunion will be a Saturday in September, and will be at the River Falls Club House. The theme: Semi-Formal Party.
We'll pick a date that coincides with a major football game, more to come on the actual date.
We'll now begin to pick sub-committee chairs and begin the formal planning.
