Monday Update

Hi all!

First of all, my apologies for missing Curtis's birthday, which was the 3rd of June - so sorry, but I hope you had a great birthday! 

Secondly, I've got a bunch of new pictures for today, courtesy of Karan Goetz.   These are from 2000, I believe.  I've run out of photos, but would be thrilled to accept some to post, if anyone has some to share.  Just e-mail them to me, Karan, or Darlene, and we'll get them up in the coming weeks, especially as the countdown to the reunion picks up pace. 

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!

The American Legion Auxiliary will prepare and serve the Saturday nite dinner.

Anyone who lives close by is asked to bring a pan of bars or cookies for desserts.

A special cake is being ordered for Saturday nite.

Bring your own drinks and snacks.  Families with young children may want to bring cereal and snack

items to tie them over before breakfast on Saturday and Sunday morning.

The price for 2 people in a room will be $34.00 per nite.

Motor home hook-ups are $22.00 per nite.

Rooms in Dickinson will be very expensive and need to be reserved well in advance.



Each family is asked to bring at least one Auction item, and if possible,

bring a childrens item also for the kids to bid on.


Come prepared to have a good time while seeing everyone again.

Please contact Karan by June 1 with numbers for your families attending

so we can make final arrangements for food etc.

Also, contact us if you have additional ideas.


Thanks,

Joan, Karan & Darlene
