Linda's got me working on the class info database so that we can produce mailing labels (much better than hand writing envelopes - we try to work smart when we can) so you haven't heard to much from me here. That same database will help generate the photo name tags too.
I'm also working with my Wayne classmates for later this month organizing an informal get together with my 7th and 8th grade classmates before the "official" reunion.
I thought retirement was going to be lounging around living the Life of Riley. Riley doesn't live here.
That's right. Before you know it, the 45th Reunion will be upon us. The reunion committee is preparing a combination leaflet and reservation form which will be mailed and/or emailed to everyone during the beginning of June.
Because of vendor scheduling, we need reservations for attendance at the events and T-shirts by July 15. We need to confirm expected attendance numbers with Echo Valley, and T shirt orders with the screen printer to allow them production time.
To review the scheduled events quickly:
Friday Sept. 7, 7am: R-Men's golf scramble, shotgun tee offs.
Friday 6pm: Reitz-(opponent to be announced) football in the Bowl
Saturday Sept 8, (time tba) School Tour
Saturday 5pm The Reitz Class of 67 45th Reunion at Echo Valley
All the details will be spelled out to the best of our knowledge in the leaflet.
I remember thinking after last April's Spring event that we had plenty of time to get it all ready for the Real Reunion the following Fall. Time has passed quickly. As each year represents a smaller and smaller fraction of our lives, I think that perception just keeps accelerating. Keep an eye out here and on Facebook - and in your mail box (real or electronic) for details as they become available. Still waiting on Reitz and the IHSAA for the Reitz opponent Reunion weekend and also when the school tour will commence and who will be doing guide duty.
See you soon!
