A little Retro Rewind housekeeping today, Vikings ❤️🖤🤍

As many of you know, AVSS Retro Rewind is being independently organized and funded entirely through ticket sales.

Unlike the main event, which is being ran by the 1990 Centenary Committee, our committee does not have corporate sponsorships, financial backing, or ANY in-kind community support covering our costs.

Every ticket purchased goes directly toward:

🎵 DJ & entertainment
🏛️ Hall rental
🪩 Décor & tables
🏆 Door Prizes
🎟️ Printing, supplies & event costs
🙌 The many moving pieces required to bring this nostalgic night together for our community.

Any funds above and beyond what is raised for expenses will be given directly back to the community.

Because of this:

ALL ticket sales are FINAL.

ALL pertinent details concerning the Friday Night Reunion Event are available on several
Platforms, including the official tickets.

If you have already purchased a Friday Retro Rewind ticket and decide you would prefer to attend the Saturday evening programming once the Centenary Committee announces their tickets instead, we kindly ask that you resell or transfer your ticket privately.

We truly appreciate everyone’s understanding and support as we work hard to create a fun, welcoming, Gen X throwback celebration for all of us to reconnect, laugh, dance, and remember where we came from.

✨ ALSO! Today is Admin Day ✨
If anyone would still like tickets, we’ll be doing local deliveries this afternoon as well as Sunday Afternoon!

Message the page directly to arrange pickup/drop-off or EMT details.

Thank YOU for supporting these epic community events and for helping us make the last hurrah … AVSS Retro Rewind something special to remember.

Good Morning!
I have more tickets earmarked here for pick up / delivery!

Thank you.

If you sent an emt over the past week and have not made arrangements for pick-up or delivery - your tickets will be at the door. ❤️

We have sold 23 tickets since May 1st!

Soooooo …. that means so far you have effectively helped to pay for 23 AVSS Prom Tickets also, as 10 dollars per paid ticket for month of May goes to AVSS grads for their last prom. There are about 60 grads. We endeavour to sell 60 tickets by the end of May - ALMOST halfway there!

Huge thanks! 🙏

Text 226-577-6451 for tickets!

Email transfer $30/ticket to: [email protected]
With name and grad year in message line.

Can’t wait to see everyone at the opening night kick off! Pep Rally style with DJ Adrian Peters from A & M Sounds Disc Jockey Svc and loads of nostalgia and laughs!

An honourable man. You will be remembered well and missed dearly.  🤍

An honourable man.
You will be remembered well and missed dearly. 🤍

The City of St. Thomas shares with sadness the passing of former Mayor and long-serving community leader Clifford “Cliff” Barwick.

Cliff dedicated decades of his life to serving the St. Thomas community as Mayor, Alderman, educator, military member, and community leader. His leadership and commitment left a lasting impact on our city and the people who call it home.

In recognition of his service, City of St. Thomas flags will be lowered to half-mast until the date of the funeral.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Barwick family and all those who had the privilege of knowing and working with him.

Good Morning, Vikings ❤️🖤🤍

There’s something about a Sunday morning that brings it all back…

Porch coffee.
Old memories.
Names on a list that feel like chapters of a shared story.

High school plays.
Friday night lights.
Pep rallies in the cafeteria that somehow felt like the center of the universe.

And now… here we are again.
