With the remarkable success of the Facebook group “Life after Carriage House” a group of former employees got together to form a reunion picnic. The main pavilion at Point Gratiot in Dunkirk has been secured for Sept. 16 from 2 to 7 p.m.

The committee is inviting all former and retired workers, both union and management, who worked at the plants in Fredonia and Dunkirk. A firm commitment by everyone who plans on attending the Carriage House reunion is needed. An accurate count is necessary for the committee to know how much food needs to be ordered. However, it will be greatly appreciated if attendees could bring a dish to pass to help keep the cost down. Appetizers, specialty dishes or desserts would be great. The estimate of the cost is between $5 and $10 per person, depending on market prices. The party will be a “BYOB” affair and the necessary alcohol permit required by the City of Dunkirk will be obtained. More information will follow when a better count is available, so please respond ASAP. Call either Martha Lukasik (366-1370) or Jim Bradley (366-8937) with any questions or ideas, or message either one on Facebook.

This event can only be successful if the organizers, who are looking to finalize everything by July 15, hear back from fellow co-workers.
