30th anniversary reunion set for 28-29 Sep 2012
I am pleased to report that the reunion planning committee had a productive meeting on July 4th. Deb Preheim (planning committee chair) hosted the meeting at her mother’s home in Sterling. Attendees included: Drew and Connie Frederick, Greg McGlynn, and Shawn Engelland. We are still working on many of the details for this reunion. The preliminary plans are as follows:
Friday, September 28 we will tailgate before the SHS football homecoming game in the parking lot of Smisor Stadium. We will attend the ballgame and then go to the Broadway Market downtown for coffee afterwards.
Saturday, September 29 we will tour the new elementary school and the newly remodeled facility that houses the high school and junior high. For lunch we are hoping to have a noon meal catered to the Alden Attendance Center lunch room. Deb requested rainbow bananas, but discouraged the melted buttered bread they used to serve since old folks like us must worry about clogged arteries. We would also like to have some time to go through memorabilia at Jerry Bourgain’s Emporium for those interested. The evening meal will be catered by Lee and Sheila Burgess. It will be BBQ and sides. We are still working out the location for this. We plan to have the facility available all day for those of you that don’t have a “home base” in Sterling anymore.
Please let us know if there is anything else you would like to do or see while in Sterling. The cost per person has not yet been established, but we are making every effort to keep it reasonable. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Looking forward to seeing everyone this fall!
IMPORTANT: Our planning process would really benefit from an approximate headcount. Please let us know if you plan to attend the reunion on 28-29 Sep 2012. You can do this by posting a comment on this page or sending an email to the class mailing list.
