The reunion committee held their last meeting last weekend (punctuated by good food and more than a little socializin', as all good West Siders do when they get together)We decided on a few final details about what we're planning on doing once everyone gets there (there will be a loose agenda and some serious class business to attend to, but not enough to interfere with lots of good talk and visiting.) We have tried to make that stuff as unobtrusive as possible.
The devil is in the details. Square tables, round tables, secondary decorating theme (other than the Reitz blue and the gray, how to handle the memorials of folks we've lost and the distribution of name tags, all the little things that add up to a great experience. It's not so much what was decided, but that a potential issue was addressed so there is no ad hoc decision making required to interfere with just enjoying the event. We've tried to account for the suggestions we received from the forms we got back from the 44. We've tried to account for communicated suggestions we've received since then as well. Everyone is welcome to put their two cents in at any time.
We want to make it so that when you walk in to Echo Valley, there will be nothing to distract you from getting together with your classmates and having a good time. There remains only one thing you need to do.
Fill out your reservation forms (remember to order a T Shirt at the same time), cut a check, and send them in and most important of all, in the words of Billy May (the late Oxiclean pitchman), Do It Today!
