POTSDAM -- Plans have been underway for the Potsdam Central School Mega Reunion for many months now, so it should be no surprise that at last report, fewer than 50 of the original 575 tickets remain.

With hundreds of registrants from the Classes of 1937 through 2012 for the Aug. 10-12 event, “the response has been overwhelming and beyond our expectations,” said Jo Ann Roberts, one of the local organizers for the event. “Calls and emails come in almost on a daily basis,” including many past faculty and staff members, Roberts said.

If anyone is interested in registering, information may be obtained from the event’s website, www.pcsmegareunion2012.com, or by calling Jo Ann at 244-1909. Cost is $ 75 per person, and payment may be submitted on the website through Paypal, or by sending a check to PCS Mega Reunion, PO Box 616, Potsdam, NY 13676. (Cost for pre-1960 graduates is $35 per person.)

Official Mega Reunion merchandise (hats, shirts, water bottles, etc.) will be available for purchase during Potsdam’s Summer Festival, as well as pre-paid orders taken for pick up during the reunion weekend. All proceeds will benefit the Potsdam Booster Club.
