Three Days To Go!

Our 30th anniversary reunion is just three days from now.  Please see the September 4th post for the weekend itinerary.  Here are some additional details:

Friday night homecoming game and tailgating party

Since a number of folks can’t make the Friday night events, we have not included these in the fee (see below). The SHS junior class is holding a Taco Tailgate fundraiser on Friday night.  A taco, drink, and cookie will be yours for a mere $6! We plan to rendezvous at the tailgating party prior to the game. If you don’t find us there look for a bunch of old farts in a quiet corner of the stadium. Do you think they will have padded seats for us?

Economics 101 – price increases

After reevaluating the cost vs. attendance equation, the reunion planning committee has set the price at $30/person for the Saturday events. I believe this was a prudent decision, and I am confident you will feel the day well worth the cost. A catered lunch at a unique locale, hang out space at the American Legion Hall, an outstanding BBQ dinner, and priceless quality time with old friends! Deb Preheim is paying the bills for us, so be sure to get your money (and a big THANK YOU) to her this weekend!

I look forward to seeing y’all in just a few days!

2012 Reunion – Final Call

Our 30th anniversary reunion is less than two weeks away, and we really need to finalize the attendance list. The spreadsheet below shows the current attendance list. Please check to see if we have your information correct. Feel free to prod any classmates who have not yet responded!

Information on the reunion and how to RSVP can be found in an earlier post on this site.

RSVP ASAP!

Your reunion planning committee has put together a great program for our 30th anniversary reunion – see below for details. Now we need to hear from YOU!

The reunion is in 3 weeks, and we need to get a firm headcount to finalize the food orders. Please RSVP as soon as possible via a comment on this webpage or an email to the class mailing list. Be sure to specify how many will be in your party and which events you plan to attend.

We anticipate the cost will be $25/person for all of the Saturday activities and catered meals.  Note that this includes use of the American Legion Hall all day for folks in need of a “home base” in Sterling.  Those attending the tailgating party, football game, and coffee shop activities on Friday will pay for those activities separately.
