We are just days from meeting up in Bigfork. I'm very excited to see you all. Since May when I was asked to start planning this gathering I've been able to find contact information and have reached out to quite a few of our classmates and a few faculty.
The plan:
Friday night 7/31/26 - 5:00 - ?
We're meeting at the VFW in Bigfork. (There is a meeting room for us to use.)
8098 MT Hwy 35, Bigfork, 59911 (406) 420-2266
We have arranged to have appetizers served ($10 each person attending). The Bar and Kitchen will be open for anyone to purchase other food and drinks on their own ticket.
Saturday 8/1/26 - Noon - 5:00
We're meeting at the Marina Cay
180 Vista Lane, Bigfork, MT. 59911
We have arranged to use the lower level, poolside conference room to meet. There will be a Cajun Style buffet served; Boudin Bites, Jambalaya, Shrimp Pasta, Gumbo, Boiled Shrimp, Bread Pudding, Caesar Salad. The bar and kitchen will be open for anyone to purchase other food and drinks on their own ticket.
Cost;
Please plan on $10/ea person in your party for the VFW.
The cost for the use of the Marina Cay facilities and Cajun Buffet have been paid for. We are not charging attendees but we are happily accepting donations to help supplement these costs. Please donate any amount you would like to this fund. We were hoping by not charging a set amount for this day, more class mates will attend and enjoy the day. Please do make sure to pay for your bar tab, lol! We will have use of the pool and hot tub so bring your sun screen and enjoy the day.
Please send funds for the VFW and any donation for the Marina Cay food and facilities. Payment can be made by Cash or Check to Keith Veyna, Venmo -Veyna or Zelle bank transfer connected to my email [email protected] and phone number (303) 598-0201
