Reunion Planning Meeting 4-14-09

Hi everyone,

I want to thank everyone who made it tonight for the meeting. It was a productive meeting and we are on track to getting everything in place. Someday we will just have to have a fun-chatathon on that website! it is always nice chatting with you all!

Here is your summary of the meeting.

Alumni newsletter status:


Some people have received their copies and some haven't. Charlene will be following up on this issue. A lot of missing classmates still listed for our class. We should all make an effort to spread the word around and try and locate these classmates. They all have to be somewhere!! If you haven't gotten your alumni newsletter drop Charlene a line.

Class Mailing:

Charlene will be mailing out the class letter with all the details, forms and costs of the reunion in about a week. Let's hope we get a great response to it! Thank you Charlene for your work on this!

Elton John replacement:

Anita is still willing to do the part, but does not have the time to put together the whole costume due to family commitments. It was agreed everyone in this meeting will look for sources of EJ costume used in the movie Tommy. Needed most are the pants and boots.

T-Shirts and logo:

Anne will order the t-shirts. They will cost $12 each and can be paid for at the time you send back your funds and forms for the activities you plan to participate in for the reunion. The $12 is broken down as follows. $8 will to go to the shirt cost and $4 will go to the class fund. Anyone who will be on the float should plan to purchase the shirt so we will all be same. Anne will order assorted sizes which should cover just about everyone size-wise. It will be a really nice t-shirt with the Tommy logo ironed on. For an example, see the class blog. Nice Job Anne in working this for us!!

Float Banner and signage:

Anne and Melissa will handle the ordering of the banner along with Charlene. It will be with a tie-dye background banner with lettering. 2 banners will be needed with one to go on each side of the float in the manner of a skirt. The memorial sign will be on the front of the truck and be in black and red. Thank you ladies for taking this on.

Painting-bean barrels:

Jim Hanson has agreed to paint the barrels. We will only need 6 barrels for the float. Anne will also get a stencil with the word "Beans" on it. We will need to purchase paint for this project. Barrels should simulate the B&M brand of canned beans.

Pinball Machine:

John and Phil will meet this weekend and start planning of the pinball machine build.

Next meeting will be in 3 weeks. May 5th.
