Do I Look Like a Rockefeller?

The Huntington High School class of '59 (Huntington, LI) will take place in mid-October. Richie is a proud graduate and promptly responded to the invitation. The other day, the info came in and I quote:

"In an effort to be both memorable for a once-in-our-lifetime event, as well as cost conscious, we have made the following plans."

Friday - Icebreaker from 6:30 to 10 p.m. at the Huntington Yacht Club - $35 per person. Appetizers will be served throughout the evening and there will be a cash bar.

Saturday - (presumably a dinner dance) from 6 to 11 p.m. at the Huntington Crescent Club -- $150 per person!

Sunday - Brunch (with a cash bar) from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Huntington Bay Club - $40 per person.

If Richie and I were to go to all of these events, it would cost us $450! By skipping the dance and just going to the Friday and Sunday events as we plan to do will only set us back $150.

Oh! And there is a reunion discount rate at the Huntington Country Inn where we usually stay anyhow. What shall we do with all the money we will save? Loan it to a Rockefeller for exhorbitant interest?
