We've got it all together...

It was great to hear from Muecke and Cathy Barker and Nancy Poole Klein. Nancy's mother has been having some very serious health issues and is doing somewhat better so Nancy feels like she'll be able to come.

After the meeting last Thursday I collected checks from Linda Rogers, Carolyn Tuley, Della, Vicki and yours truly - so glad we're all coming too

We had a good meeting and I think/hope we've got it all together. The food is going to be aplenty we'll have wine, beer and cokes with a nice array of cheeses, dips, etc. for our social hour. The cake is adorable - at least Linda and I think so - the cupcakes are delicious and we can thank the Steinmann's for complimenting them.

David Parker suggested we take a group picture - he's got a fancy/smancy Nikon camera - so before dinner at 6:45 we will gather for a Classmates picture before we get full and fat from our yummy dinner!

The Bessie Smith has plenty of parking - behind the building (you can enter that way as well), the side of the building - come in the front and parking on the street and enter the front door. We are looking into getting a van or shuttle to take you folks from the Chattanoogan to and from.

We will have nametags, plain and simple this time unless you have yours from the 50th. I still have mine and if so, bring it and wear it! There will be a table set up right before you go into the Bessie Smith hall from the front door. So, those of you who come in the back door - go get your nametag!

The Bessie Smith lends itself to casual dress unlike a country club atmosphere. So, please enjoy slacks and a golf shirt guys and capris and a cutesy top ladies! The Chattanoogan brunch is also casual.

We have a little over 100 coming at this point and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone. Till then....

Love from North Chattanooga,

Susie
