Reunion Meeting Notes

      We had one more wrap-up Reunion meeting planned for Wednesday evening, July 23rd, at the American Legion.  The classmates that have attended most of the meetings and have planned our reunion are  Bob Peter, Linda (Kasselman) Borror, Marla (Slough) Isern, Allene (Cope) Owen, Connie (Hazen) Roth, Dan Soeken, and John Meyer.

      If you have any other ideas, suggestions, or comments about our reunion, just email one of us, post your idea on the Message Board, or better yet, bring them to the Reunion committee meeting.  Everyone is invited to attend.  See you then!

     


     As most of you know, the reunion will begin at the American Legion, on Friday evening, July 18, 2008. The details of our 40th reunion are coming together. Of course, we will have a float in the After Harvest Festival parade on Saturday morning and then have an organized get-together on Saturday evening. We have heard from several classmates who are planning to be here, including some who have not been able to attend before.

     Our 40th Reunion theme will be a variation of the Hippies theme called "Ellinwoodstock 68". This theme will be based loosely on the Woodstock Summer Music Festival that took place at Woodstock, NY in 1969. So we are planning on having everyone dress up as hippies (that will make this reunion a casual affair, so pack away those suits and tuxedos!). This will be a fun night, a night to let your hair down, for those of you with enough hair to let down!

      Randy Haddon from the Legion will be catering our dinner. Our plan is to have a social gathering beginning at 6:00 PM with dinner at approximately 7:00. It will be buffet style with a choice of the main entree being either chicken-fried steak or chicken breast. Please state your preference when you register.

     The details of the float are still being worked out, but we think it will be a lot of fun. We will probably be decorating the float by at least Thursday evening. We will advise all the area classmates when it will be so everyone can join in on the fun.

     There will be another get-together at Bob and Julie Peter's house (110 North Wilhelm St) on Saturday afternoon beginning at 4:00 PM for as long as everyone wants to hang around. Please bring some type of finger foods. There will be hamburgers and hot dogs with buns provided. If you are drinking any alcohol, please BYOB. There will be some iced tea and some soft drinks provided.

     All classmates will receive a special tie-dyed T-shirt as part of the registration. Please state you size preference when you register. If your spouse or guest would also like a T-shirt, please give us that size preference also. There will be an additional $15 charge for the guest T-shirt.
