The Reunion Event
This event is primarily attended by people who worked at the Scott Plaza complex, which is near the Philadelphia Airport. However, anyone who worked for Scott Paper Company at any of its locations worldwide is invited. You are also welcome to bring spouses and adult children.
The first reunion was held in 1995, about a year after the first very large layoff of personnel. At least 200 people attended that year. In 2007, we had about 75 people. There was no reunion in 2008, because the facility was closed for renovations. However, they re-opened in the Spring of 2009, and we will have our reunion in June 2009. We are expecting a large turnout this year.
Invitations are initially sent by email to about 750 email addresses in May of each year, using the email list that is in the Scott Plaza Directory (described below). The invitation is then passed on via phone and email throughout a network of Scotties who keep connected with each other.

Lodging Information for those of you who may be coming from out of town:
The only hotel I recommend in Essington is the Comfort Inn. They are very close to the main intersection in town. Phone = 610-521-9800. Address = 53 Industrial Highway, Essington PA 19029 USA. Rates are $89 to $109, depending upon how many nights and which nights. Their van will provide free transport between the airport and the hotel and The Deck. They offer free wireless broadband Internet access everywhere in the hotel. Local telephone calls are free. They offer a free continental style breakfast in the lobby for every guest. They have plenty of rooms available in the vicinity of 19 June. You can walk from the Comfort Inn to The Deck in about 20-25 minutes (3/4 mile), or you can have the hotel van take you.
There is a hotel immediately next door to The Deck, but I do not recommend it. When I walked into the lobby I found an unpleasant moldy smell.
There is a group of nice hotels on Bartram Avenue, closer to the airport, but these are about 6 miles away from The Deck. If you want information about these hotels, please contact Carl Ingalls (see contact info above).
