Hi everyone,
First, for those of you who are reading this and wondering about reunion part 1, you can see the details in previous posts. We weren't able to reach everyone, but we did our best. We had a nice event in July and I know everyone would agree with me in saying we hope even more people can come this time.
Here's what we have planned this time around. For quick reference, the details are in the column to the right.
October 14th- Friday Night Football at LHN. There were very few home games to pick from and with homecoming being extra crowded already, the athletic director suggested this game would be better for us to attend if we hope to have a group and space to sit. One of the issues is when they got the new bleachers, they had issues getting an away side installed, so everyone sits on the same side with the opposing team at the far end.
Assuming the weather is good, we'll need a handful of people to get there early and potentially mark off an area so that we can sit together. A few yards of some kind of tape or roping should do the trick. As you're looking at the press box, I believe we will want to be to the left. That worked pretty well 5 years ago. Game starts at 7Pm. AD also says it should be a good game so if you want to stay for the whole thing feel free or leave at half-time etc.
Gathering approx 8PM
The July event was pretty simple and casual and this one continues along that line. We'll have space ready for us at the Cracklewood Golf Course which is located on 24 just east of school. They do have fish fry dinners on Fri night but by 8PM or so, most of the regular diners should be done. Just like the July event, you'll be able to order off the menu/from the bar on your own if you'd like to. There is no set cost otherwise. If we wanted to do something like pizzas, we'd have to let them know ahead of time so if you'd like to consider that option, feel free to contact me.
If the weather is bad, the plan will be to just go to Cracklewood.
Spreading the Word & RSVP
This time Heather Stark Simpson is doing a mailing and potentially a follow up email to as many people as we can get correct addresses for so please look for that and RSVP either to her or to me. If you don't get the mailing, you can also reach me via my website at www.cherylpickett.com. Heather's email is HeatherL@greatlakes.net.
Please help us reach as many people as we possibly can. If you think you have valid contact info for someone please either forward it to one of us, or try and see if you can reach them and pass along the info.
Memory Book
At the July event, we had a questionnaire for people to fill out. Since this event is so close, we decided to wait to compile the info and do the questionnaire again in October. If nothing else, it would be great to have updated contact info so please be prepared to take a moment to do the form if you haven't already.
Guess that's about it for now. Watch this space for any updates or further information. Hope to see you there!
