Our '59 classmates attending the 50th reunion last October heard about the TBF gathering that has been held in Laughlin for the past 15 years. TBF stands for "Torques Buzzards and Friends," and this group of Chaffey grads is continually growing. Most of the attendees of this annual event graduated in the 50's, but there have been several graduates from the 60's attending in recent years. No advance registration is required. You can pick and choose what events you would like to attend, or you can attend ALL of the events scheduled. Just show up and have fun! You'll see lots of familiar faces, and you will have fun reconnecting with many of your Chaffey friends who graduated before and after you.

TBF LAUGHLIN DATES: APRIL 08, 2010 - APRIL 11, 2010

The TBF Laughlin Committee is happy to announce that this year we will meet at Harrah's. The management of this lovely hotel is willing to accommodate our needs at a greatly reduced rate compared to that of the Tropicana where this event has been held for several years.
