The last online meeting was held May 26th. Many thanks to all who attended, it has been a pleasure working with all of you. We are pretty much on the way to getting everything put together for the float build. The only changes which were made, are that I will handle getting the lettering for the banners to give Anne more time to concentrate on her other things.
Again I want to remind everyone we need as many people as possible to help with the float at the beautiful home of Melissa and Gary Dube. I think it will be a good time had by all too!
Melissa and Gary's address is 15 Lynch Place, which is just off River Road between 12A and where Ainsworth Rd meets River Rd. If unable to find it, just listen for some 70s rock and roll...!!
Stats from reservations so far as received by Charlene indicate about 23 going to the Pleasant, and 14 so far to Casa De Sol. Unknown as to how many will be at the banquet table. I expect we will see many more just before the deadline. No matter how many come this year, we will all have a good time! If you haven't gotten your reservations in, NOW would be a good time to do it!
One last request, I just realized we should probably designate someone to officially be the weekend photographer who will take pictures from Friday at the float build till Saturday night at the Casa. I think we would like to see video as well as still shots. Anyone want to to take a stab at this?? For the video, I have a Flip video camera you can use if needed. The only other requirement is a decent digital camera and will enjoy the challenge of putting together our class story for the weekend.
I would like to take a second here to say I have enjoyed working this event and seeing things come together. It's been great hearing from and getting together with classmates who I haven't interacted with in a long time. It's wonderful to hear we have classmates coming from as far away as California, Nevada, etc! We'll have to see who comes the furthest!
Now....Let's all hope for great weather!! See you all in 14 days!

Hello all,
Thanks very much to all that attended tonight's meeting We had a good turnout and ended up having a fabulously good time reminiscing about our grade schools and other various points of interest of the downtown we once knew that have disappeared forever from the landscape. However, we all agreed. Hotel Winner was not to be missed!! I think we all kinda realize how fortunate we were in our childhoods to grow up there.
On the following meeting subjects we all agreed to
Banner wording-this is now official Anne!
2 vinyl banners of 15 feet long by 2 feet wide with a bluish background and lettering
"Class of '74, See me, Hear me....after 35 years we're still here!!
A smaller vinyl banner 4x6? to say
"Tommy-Pinball Wizard"
Melissa and Anne will be meeting with Ray tomorrow to finalize that and the memorial board as well.
Elton John Pants and Boots.
The pants will be worked on by Anita and John and Phil will see if a decent replica of the boots can be put together.
The B&M Baked Beans wording on the 6 barrels will be in the form of lettering provided by Ray
Paint for the pinball machine will be taken care of the day of the build
Helium for the 20 balloons will be provided by Melissa. If unable to do so, several other sources are available for this.
The Anne Margaret outfit will NOT fit Rachel in the size as offered. Rachel will be contacted by Phil to see if she can come up with an alternative on her own. A consignment or 2nd store may be the solution.
Funding is still holding steady at $900.00 which should be more than enough to cover expenses.
Responses from the class letter sent out by Charlene have been very slow. A lot of people will probably make decisions at the last minute. A small number of letters came back as undeliverable.
Next meeting will be held on May 26th same time same station.
Best to all, and good night.
