Letter Sent to the Classes of 37 to 56

 

April 6, 2000

 

Dear classmates and Families:

 

It’s reunion time again.  We are planning a big celebration and are hoping that you will be able to attend.

 

This year’s reunion will include classes 1937 through 1956.  The classes of 1949 and 1950 will be recognized and honored for their 50^th anniversary and they will present the program at the dinner Monday night.

 

Our reunion again coincides with the Chamber of Commerce 4^th of July events.  We will have our dinner at the school cafeteria on Monday, July 3^rd.  You will find a schedule of events and a list of motels on the back of this letter.

 

Your reservation is inside the small envelope addressed to the treasurer, Pat Woodell.  If possible, please return your reservation by June 1^st, but if this is not possible, please return your reservation after that date.  The fee of $10.00 per person will cover the dinner on Monday and the breakfast on Tuesday morning.  The noon bar-b-q is not included in that fee.  This si the first time we have done this, but tickets will be available for purchase at the dinner Monday night and at the park on Tuesday. 

 

We have also enclosed a questionnaire which we request that you complete and return.  Please return this even if you cannot attend, so that we can update our records.  These will be on display along with any pictures you might wish to send.

 

Pictures by classes will be taken after the dinner and copies may be ordered if you desire.

 

As usual, all events will be casual, so dress comfortable and join us to renew old friendships, recall old memories, and create new memories.

 

We hope to see you at the reunion,
