Event Announcement!
Facebook Group for Class of 88! (Does not replace webpage)
We now have a Facebook group for our class. If you are on FB, please join it. If not, consider signing up. We're going to keep our website at classreport.org (aka www.jhs88.com), since it is great for tracking addresses and contact info - plus it has other event management tools that Facebook does not have, so please continue to check in here and update when your contact info changes.
Thanks and Happy New Year! -- Carrie Cundiff Lenahan
THANK YOU to everyone who attended the reunion (July 18 and 19, 2008) and to everyone who helped with the planning, work, extra funding, and to those who made the extra effort to travel. What a great time!
Third -- If you haven't received your photo cd or are having troubles with it, please contact Gina.
Finally - Stay tuned to this site for links to everyone's photos and for any discussion of future reunion events - many great ideas were suggested. Looks like Kathy just offered to plan mini-5-year in 2013. ;-)
