Reunion Update

Reunion Info
1) saturday afternoon will be at homewood park and we have some great plans in the works, but I'll wait until they are final to share them. Thanks so much to everyone who is offering to donate things and help out with that from their companies. We will provide drinks with the money you pay for the reunion and we think all the food will be provided for from people who have offered! Yeah! There will probably be a fun activity for kids and us! We'll give you times later.
2) Saturday night is at the McWane from 7-11. We have people working on a band, decorations, and food. some other things will be happening as well that we'll tell you about later.
Here are our needs (please email me back if you can help):
1) Friday Night- we have talked about several places, but they are either too small or we can't have an area to ourselves at the place. We just want somewhere to get easy food and drinks for somewhat cheap (because we will all be on our own this night money wise). We would love for someone to take this on!
2) Ashley Tucker will be emailing you soon asking you for a picture of you or of your family with an update on your life. She'll send you details, just be on the lookout. We are putting together a booklet for everyone with updates, contact info, etc.
3) Sarah Abdo Mettee and/or Rian Wright will be emailing you soon about emailing them a recent picture of you and/or your family for a slideshow to go along with our high school one.

Money, Money, Money...

The cost per person is $50 or $100 per couple.
After June 1st, the cost will be $75 per person or $150 per couple.

Please make checks payable to and mail checks to:

Checks will be deposited each Friday until the reunion. Dana Sheheane and Laura Tucker will be sending receipts, so you will know your money has been received. We will be creating a spreadsheet that will be used instead of tickets the night of the event.
