all school reunion had been two years in the planning. We sincerely

to develop old friendships and establish new ones. All activities are
to take place outside, in the summer, in a controlled environment,

Golf Tournament (8:00AM – 2:00PM)
Willow Creek Golf

8:30AM. Besides green fees, a $5 entry fee will be collected to pay
for all the awards (gift cards for various establishments). Some of
the award categories will include: Best overall team score, best

awards to be presented at the Peace Plaza in downtown Rochester, MN
following the event. Of course you must be present to win. CONTACT
THE CLASS ADIMINISTRATOR LISTED ON THE WEB SITE TO SIGN UP FOR GOLF.
(C) Bowling? ??(11:00AM – 2:00PM)??
Not everyone may be
interested in golfing, so if you’re are interested in bowling, we
could arrange to have a local bowling alley available from 11:00AM –
2:00PM. This currently IS NOT setup yet, so if you are interested in
this activity, let us know ASAP. If enough people are interested, we
will take care of the arrangements. PLEASE CONTACT THE CLASS
ADMINISTRTOR LISTED ON THE WEB SITE, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN
BOWLING.
(D) The Peace Plaza
(4:00PM – 11:00PM)
The Peace Plaza
includes a covered stage for the band and ample lighting for the
evening hours. Beginning at 2:00 PM, we will section off this area
and adapt it for our own use. This one block area also includes the
Peace Plazas sound system. Outdoor speakers every 30 feet that
provide stereophonic sound and is hooked up to a five disc CD
Changer. The crisp sound of the music can be easily heard, no matter
where you are in the Peace Plaza. One lucky classmate will go home
with 40 CD’s of some of the best music from the Beetles, going
forward. WE ALSO INTEND ON DONATING 40 CD’s TO SEASONS HOSPICE (On
Behalf Of The Class Of 1971), TO ADD TO THEIR MUSIC LIBARY. They can
then (at their discretion), play them back for their residents, going
forward. IF YOU WISH TO DONATE ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE CD’S, TO THE
SEASONS HOSPICE MUSIC LIBARY, BRING IT WITH YOU. PLEASE NOTE: DO TO
COPY RIGHT LAWS, IT MUSH BE A STORE BOUGHT CD!!!
(E) Martini’s At The
Kahler Grand Hotel (2:00PM – 11:00PM)
They will roll out
their bar into the Peace Plaza, next to the stage. They will serve
mixed drinks, wine and keg beer. They offer a full bar and specialize
in (guess what), Martini’s. Their grill is also available for late
night snacks. One of the original themes of the 40th Class
Reunion was and is to provide a ‘kegor’ type atmosphere, in an
outdoor setting, where we don’t necessarily have to drive home from
afterwards. It goes without saying, but please be responsible and
note that there is a cab stand located right next to the Peace Plaza
(if needed).
(F) Victoria’s
Restorante & Wine Bar (5:00P M – 7:30PM)
They have the best
Italian food in Rochester! The dinner items were carefully chosen off
their menu. POLLO BIANCO – Chicken or Pork sautéed in a white
cream sauce with mushrooms, prosciutto ham and mozzarella cheese,
served over a bed of pasta. A salad, dressing and dinner roll is
included in the price of admission, along with your first beverage.
Please make sure you indicate whether you want Chicken or Pork, when
paying via the Pay Pal Link on the web site & or contact the
CLASS ADMINISTRATOR to let him or her know your choice for dinner.
For those with special dietary needs, contact Ken Rosemark, to
arrange for alternative dinner options. If you wish to pay with a
check, send it to Ken Rosemark at the C.O. Brown Agency, Inc. 2048
Superior Drive NW Rochester, Minnesota 55901. Payable to: The 1971
Rochester Grads.
(G) The Band (7:30 PM –
11:00 PM A number of the members of THE TEX PISTOLS BAND are fellow
alumni of the Mayo High School Class Of 1971. Back in the 70’s they
were in a band called “JUDD”. Back then they were good enough to
open for national acts such as Lynard Skynard (among others). They
have mellowed down a bit, but the quality of their music has improved
with time. Visit their web site to learn more about them and listen
to some of their current music. We’ve been told that they may even
have a new CD out by the time of The 40th Class Reunion???
(H) The Web Site
We’ve chosen this web
site because it allows us to gather up information about classmates
from each school. Whether you plan on attending or not, please go to
the web site and provide us with your address, contact information
(phone number, e-mail, etc.). The cost to mail invites for all three
schools is over $450.00. We want to eliminate this cost once and for
all, so please make sure you register. We intend to keep this link up
indefinitely, so that you can go to it at any time, to locate a
friend/classmate from the past. PLEASE NOTE: IT WILL BE UP TO YOU TO
KEEP YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION CURRENT, GOING FORWARD. While it’s
not Facebook, it’s more secure. Also, tell us a little about
yourself, since high school. Once you are on this site, please click
on the missing classmate’s page too. Help us to locate these
missing alumni and forward this invitation to them. There will be a
Pay Pal Link setup to make the payment via debt or credit card. At
the time of making your payment, there should also be an area in
which you can indicate your dinner choice or contact the CLASS
ADMINISTRTOR and let him or her know your dinner choice (Chicken or
Pork)???
Questions: We
would like everything to be handled through the web site. However,
if you have any questions, please get a hold of one of the committee
members listed below. You can find their contact information at the
links listed above or contact Ken Rosemark at [email protected].
You can also leave a message for him by calling 507-287-6516 in the
evening or 1-800-288-3715 during business hours. This 800 number can
even be used after business hours. Just leave a message with the
answering service and he will call you back. Management has
requested that you use the (800) sparingly, during the day because
it is designed for business use.
