REUNIONS

REUNIONS

The planning for 2025 is beginning!!!!

All reunions for 2021 were on hold until the State of California allowed larger gatherings, due to the Pandemic and Variant issues. 2022 was a "catch up" year where many classes got together!

 

Several classes have already committed to host reunions in 2025, so check below!

​

Several classes are holding off until one of their 5 year reunion years, ie:

2000 in 2025 for their 25th; 1981 in 2026 for their 45th.

​

Please contact your class representative to give them your email or notify us through the helixalumni@yahoo.com for more information. Most classes have FaceBook pages, Instagram accounts and representative emails. Keep checking back here for updates!

May 19, 2021 from Liz, Class of 1981:

     "Hey Helix Class of 81 Hello Everyone- Lori Erwin Ferrigno and I- (Lizard Verduzco) have been talking about our 40th Reunion lately. Since so many people are still having financial hardships and or not ready to socialize in big groups...we were thinking about waiting. Also venues are more expensive trying to make up for revenue that was lost. Lori and I have sat down and weighed it out. The 45 will be bigger, better and we hope everyone will be back on their feet by then. With that being said, if anyone has idea for a virtual get-together and would like to host and put it out for all of us...please give me a call *619-339-1086..I'm totally not that computer savvy to do it It's very disappointing because Lori and I live for planning the best reunions for you guys!! Love to all * cross posted Helix 81 page and Helix Alumni pages. Please pass on to anyone that might not be on fb. Thanks and miss you guys!!"

We are working on a price but it will be $100 or less in total for both events!!! It will be dinner and drinks then dancing and gambling if you desire on Saturday evening. On Sunday, we have cabanas by the amazing pool while we have bottle service and watch football on the poolside big screen. There is also a swim up bar, a lazy river and music for those who aren't interested in football.
