50 Year Reunion Announcement!

50th Reunion

Saturday,  October  1,  2011  -  6:00 pm

TBD  

TBD  

A regular group of classmates meet for luncheon on the first Saturday of each month. Check monthly posting for location and time

The planning for our 50th reunion is starting and they would like all classmates to provide ideas and suggestions.

There were very favorable comments about the activities and location for the 46th reunion in October 2007. Everyone agreed they liked it casual with no band so that everyone had an opportunity to visit.

Contact any of the following people with your ideas and suggestions for the Gala 50th.

Barbara Robnett Grasher Centralia, IL grasherb@peoplepc.com

Georgine Hawley May Centralia, IL

Kay Needham Repolgle Branson MO

Carole Bierman Norred Burnet, TX cyt555@aim.com


or contact any of the classmates listed attending the monthly luncheons.

When---was the first weekend in October for 46th but some classmates still working could not attend---there are some classmates that are school teachers and others that had already made plans. What date is good for you?

We need to get the word out early so everyone can mark their calendar.

Some ideas discussed have been locations; Centralia has limited places that can hold 100+ people.

Trout Gym is available for rent no information known at this time---could be a great place to remember---all the basketball games, prom, May fête, every girls just to name a few. Also understand that the cafeteria is available for rent also.

Centralia Museum was used for the 46th. lower cost to rent than Country clubs, Elks or other available locations in Centralia.

Catering will be necessary at some locations.

For the 46th Friday night was a casual meet and greet with snacks but no meal.

Saturday morning had various activities with class picture and dinner in the evening with time to visit.

Sunday morning there was a breakfast.

We invited the Class of 1962 to Friday night and Sunday activities so it made pricing the weekend a little difficult. But for the 50th all activities can be bundled and classmates should be able to pick which activities they would like to attend.

What sounds good?

Maybe a brunch, Golf, museum tour, new high school tour, meet for lunch, picnic Saturday morning and afternoon.

It has been suggested that some of the grade schools classes might like to plan a Saturday afternoon gathering separate from the reunion

What about a guy’s sports get together, girls time to get together and chat---lots of ideas.

Great time for everyone to reconnect with friends more ideas the better

The committee would like the reunion to have activities that everyone can enjoy and at a price that is affordable.

Send your ideas. It really is not that early to get the ball rolling.

Help be a part of the best reunion yet!!!!


If yoy want to help let us know---there will be plenty to do.
