[b]40th Annual Eta Zeta [ch920][ch935] Summer Party July 20th – 22nd, 2007[/b] Once again it is time for Summer Party, our 40th annual.  We will be following the same basic format as years past.  The locations of the activities are changing a little this year.  The Hotel Bar has given us their backroom for a Friday Night get together.  Our Saturday morning meeting will be held in Reeder Hall.  Softball will be at Hobbs Field as usual.  For the Saturday picnic, we are moving the location to Peninsula Park on the back corner of Edinboro Lake, this location provides larger pavilions with tables, a large flat area to play volleyball, horseshoe pits, and plenty of area to sit and talk about the good old days.  We will have signs up to the park.   There will be late night gatherings as well, locations TBD.   Any updates to the schedule will be posted on the alumni website at: http://www.edinborothetachi.com [b]Questions Contact:[/b] Pat Knapp    at  814-244-5458  or  e-mail  patknapp77@atlanticbb.net   Doug Sestock    at  412-327-0372  or  e-mail  hzox221@yahoo.com [b] Tentative Schedule of Events[/b] [b]Friday[/b] Afternoon             Golf Outing                   7:00 – ???       Alumni Gathering             Hotel Bar [b]Saturday [/b] 10:30 – 12:00PM       Alumni Annual Meeting       R.
