I think you can see from the look on Kent's face, that we had a very good time at our last reunion planning meeting on July 17th at the Choo Choo! There are more photos on the blog, too. I do want to emphasize that all classmates are invited to the planning meetings and all are welcome to volunteer to make our upcoming 50th reunion a smashing success.
We gathered on July 17th in the hospitality room where we will "meet and greet" during the reunion next May. Anne Johnson welcomed all and gave special thanks to Dru who came from Nashville and continues to be our webmaster and to Sharon who came from Houston and does a super job tracking mailing addresses. She passed around a spreadsheet of those addresses and e-mails we have up to now.
We discussed and agreed on a procedure to get all lined up for upcoming events. We will have chairmen for various activities and duties; those chairpersons will select committee members and report to Anne and all at the meetings.
Vicki Daniel White agreed to head up the decoration comm; we have a theme of "stars." ('59 shines) Linda Rhoden McKinney agreed to chair the hospitality suite with Sandra Belk King as co-chair. They will recruit helpers to man the suite and also line up snacks and drinks for the suite.
Kent Smith and Vicki will "meet and greet" as attendees come in. Reservations will be made by sending in checks in advance.
Ann and Lew Waddey couldn't attend but have agreed to make name tags for the reunion.
We will investigate getting a photographer for Sat evening's banquet.
Nancy Poole Klein is in charge of the scholarship to honor Katherine Pryor. It is to be given thru UTC and will be for a deserving English student. UTC will handle the $ and the selection. If you are interested in knowing more, contact Nancy at NKLEIN0918@aol.com.
Susie Turner Crouch is our treasurer and announced that we have $2100 in our acc't and $400 more pledged. Because we are only charging $59 for Fri and Sat evenings total, we appreciate all the donations we can get. There will be expenses for mailings, printing, decorations, etc, etc in addition to meals.
We went over the itinerary and made the following change. The wine, women and girl talk party with Dian Warren Hodge will be Sat afternoon instead of Fri.
I will send the itinerary for the reunion separately and it is also on the blog.
We welcome feedback; any q. or comment, send to me or Anne Johnson at AnneJohnson@comcast.net.
Our next meeting will be held on Thurs, Oct 2nd, place TBA; all are welcome.
Your classmate,
