CHS Class of ‘59
Third 70th Birthday Party Planning Meeting Minutes
From the January 27, 2011 meeting
Our third planning meeting was combined with the regular fourth Thursday “lunch bunch” at Taco Mamacita’s. The scheduled January 13 meeting was cancelled because of weather problems. Anne Johnson and Susie Turner Crouch chaired the meeting and attending were Sandra Belk King, Carolyn Tuley Darr, Vicki Daniel White, Linda Rogers Chambers, Sandra Wooten Wright, Gaynell Hixson Smith, Carolyn Thomas Massoud, and Barbara Dalton Warner.
Our group expressed great appreciation for the outstanding service and immense amount of work contributed by Sharon Barker Tunnell who, despite full-time work, has been responsible for the Birthday Train and the Monkey Survey. Many of our classmates have helped in so many ways both for the reunion and for the birthday party, but Sharon really deserves special recognition.
The Martin Davis House event planned for midday on June 4 will be featured on the blog as we move a bit closer to the big weekend. Committee members are Anne Johnson, Gloria Hudson Sutton, Carolyn Darr, Carolyn Massoud, Nancy Poole Klein, and Barbara Warner. This will be a rain or shine event from 10:00 a.m. (leaving The Chattanoogan) or 10:30 a.m. (arriving at the Davis House) until 1:00 p.m. which should allow plenty of time for preparation for the birthday party at 5:00 p.m.. The primary purpose of the event is another opportunity for visits with classmates at a relaxing, peaceful spot. We will need help with hostessing duties, carpooling plans, and possibly providing extra chairs. The box lunch is $10.
Susie reported on results of the survey to date; we have received 39 out of 167 surveys with very positive results. Many thanks to those who have responded to the survey, and we urge everyone else to respond in the very near future. Those present who worked on the reunion are certain that we will have many more as the June 4 weekend approaches. If anyone has questions, please contact Anne and/or Susie.
There are many opportunities for classmates to assist with all the events. Susie, as chair of our main event on Saturday evening, will need many helpers; she will keep us informed of ways to serve.
Our next big project will be invitations for the weekend. We will meet NEXT Thursday, February 3, at 5:15 p.m. at Vicki’s home to work on invitations. Vicki’s address is 672 East 17th Street, Chattanooga, 37408; her phone is 423-605-4919 and email is vicd42white@gmail.com. Bring a sandwich, and Vicki will have tea. Of course, we also usually bring other libations!!
