Calling all Norman Thomas High School 1978 Graduates!

A beautiful evening has been planned to commemorate and honor the 35 years since we've departed our beloved alma mater.  We hope you plan to attend and join in the festivities!

The reunion will take place aboard the beautiful Hornblower Hybrid Yacht. This is New York's premiere eco-friendly on-the-water venue which offers luxury accomodations for our group with a enviable sound system and world-class food and service. There are indoor and outdoor decks with bars, glass-enclosed atrium with DJ and dancing. 

Boarding will be at 7:30 pm, we will set sail at 8:00 pm.

The vessel is docked at Pier 40 on the west side of New York City (also known as West Side Highway).  The website is: www.hornblower.com.
