1 week from today

Oh my goodness...1 week away!!!! Are you all listening? Two years of planning, and it all comes down to a weekend!! Stressed...you could say that, we want to make sure that everyone has the chance to enjoy this "happening".

Our class had 132 graduates...we are sorry to say that we have lost 20 graduates...and we have 32 graduates signed up to come to the reunion...hmmmm.
Where are you other 80 people? You have time...if you want to still come to the reunion, please email us now and let us know...we have to have a count in to Paul for the food, so the latest would be Monday...how long does it take to send an email...you can pay at the door...just be sure that you let us know if you want the class picture...that would be a total of $80.00. If you don't want the class picture...it will be $60.00, $35.00 for a single.

Also we need to know if the ladies are coming to the Ladies Tea Saturday morning, and the gentlemen are attending the hot dog roast at Pat Slentz. Come on people...you know by now if you are coming....most of us have known for years that we are going to be there...

Let us know...Please!!!

Looking forward to a fantastic weekend with friends...

T-shirts

Hey Classmates...wow are things hopping for our 40th reunion...some late comers showing up...good things happening.

A little surprise...the Caruthersville Tigers' first football game is August 28th, same night we will be getting together for supper, and at the American Legion. Some classmates will be attending the game and then hopefully coming later to the Legion hall...let's hope the CHS Tigers win big and help us celebrate our 40th.

Also we have some T-shirts that are being specially made for our class...the planning committee all have theirs, and will be wearing them on Friday night. We will also make these shirts available to anyone of the class who want them. They are red and white tie dye...with Class of 69
Caruthersville, MO...and our old faithful Tiger on the back of them. They will sell for $20...if you know for sure that you want one in a specific size please let us know and we will try to have your shirt at the reunion on Saturday night....email us your size at chsclassof69@charter.net

We will also be announcing a fund raising effort for our class. We thought it would be nice to get something special for the new school when it opens in 2011...so we will start a drive to raise money for that purchase....details will be included in your reunion packet...

I hope everyone is as excited as I am...not much longer!!

The last planning committee meeting...

August 1, 2009...yep ... the last planning meeting before the reunion. The last couple of years, have been a blast. People always showed up...always had fun...and always were excited about planning a 40th reunion like no other. We have heard from so many other classes...no one throws a reunion like the "Class of "69". Why? Because we want our friends to reconnect and have the renewed friendships that we have. This isn't just a reunion....this is a "happening".

Honestly...there is no way to tell you all how many hours have been put into planning this reunion...a lot of effort.

The response has been good...not great...sure would like to have a lot more of our classmates decide to come. We will accept your reservations, late... this whole reunion was done for "you"...go ahead and send in your money...let us know what events you want to attend.

Friday - dutch treat supper at the Roundhouse...they already have us down!!
Friday - gathering at the American Legion...very informal...for those who want a step up on the reunion
Saturday morning - Ladies tea at the Presbyterian Social Hall
Saturday lunch - hot dog cookout at Pat Slentz
Saturday evening: registration...pictures...program...great meal...entertainment
Sunday morning - church service at Presbyterian Church with special music by Tana Lonon-Rogers, and Don Smith

This wasn't just thrown together friends...you were always on our mind!!
