Reunion weekend...it's over!!

Hi all,

This past weekend went by so fast - it's hard to believe that our 20th reunion weekend has come and gone! A good time was had by all, and thanks to our classmates spreading the word we had a better turnout than expected! The whole batch of pictures will be posted soon, but for now here's a classic photo that couldn't wait...

More pictures to come soon...stay tuned!

Great news for late arrivals on Saturday...

Hi all,

We've had several people ask if they can stop by Evelyn's Villa after dinner on Saturday night because of prior commitments earlier in the evening (weddings, etc.)

The good news is that we do still have some room under the occupancy restrictions at Evelyn's and are able to welcome latecomers to the party! Because we have some fixed costs that need to be paid regardless of the number of dinners sold (room rental, decorations, DJ, etc.), we have set a reduced admission of $10 for people who are unable to make it to the dinner but would still like to join us for cocktails and dancing after 9:00 - 9:15 PM. Space is limited, so if you would like to RSVP as a "late arrival", please contact Bill Hall ASAP at BillHall37@aol.com to make the necessary arrangements!

Hope to see you on Saturday!

Last chance to RSVP...spread the word!

Hi all,

This is it - the last week before we all get together for our twentieth reunion! It's hard to believe so much time has passed since 1985! We've had a good response for the dinner/dance and picnic, but we want to make sure that as many people as possible from our class are on hand to enjoy the reunion with us (the more the merrier!)...and that's where we need a little help! If you know anyone (including yourself!) who's been "on the fence" about coming or plans to come but just hasn't sent in a response yet, please call or e-mail them and let them now that now's the time to act! Bill Hall is the go-to guy for RSVPs, so anyone who wants to attend (especially for dinner on Saturday) should e-mail Bill at BilHall37@aol.com and let him know ASAP!

Thanks for helping to make our reunion the best one yet! See you next Saturday...

A special request from Arizona...

We have a request from one of our classmates. Terriann Brown, in her move to Arizona, lost her yearbook. She is looking to borrow one from someone to show to her children. If anyone can help Terri, please email her at: ricknterrig@cox.net

Even if you can't help her out with a yearbook, please send her an email to say Hi. Unfortunately she cannot make it to the reunion, but she says Hi to everyone and wishes us a good time. Thanks. -Bill
