August 2nd it is! Volunteers???

It's been officially decided. We'll be holding the reunion August 2nd. We will have an afternoon activity at the Sports Mall for families, and a more formal evening reception at the new MHS. We are trying to get plans rolling so we can send out an invitation with the details by June 1st.

Right now we are trying to get together details for food, slideshow, deposits, RSVPs, invitations, etc... I'm having a hard time keeping up. If you have some extra time you'd like to volunteer, please let me know.

This week we are deciding the food arrangements at the Sports Mall. Would you like to do it potluck style? Would you like to rent big grills and have a BBQ (and pay per item)? Do you have connections for restaurants and catering? Karen Cheshire Chatelain will be coordinating the food preparation, so let her or myself know if you have any ideas.

Shane Cox will be getting together the slideshow, but nobody's emailed any pictures yet. I know you have pictures laying around. If you need them to be scanned, you can mail them to me, and I'll return them at the reunion.

Please keep sending updates on your mailing address, email, and phone numbers. We have a spreadsheet from the 5 year reunion that we're trying to keep up, and I know a lot of you don't live with your parents in Murray anymore... email your stats to

Time to Start Collecting Alumni Info

I'd like to start compiling a list of alumni that already know about the reunion, and a VERY tentative RSVP. I want to start a LOST and FOUND list. Please email me your name (including maiden name), email, mailing address and phone number to

murray98reunion@gmail.com

Even if you are CERTAIN you won't attend, we would still like to hear from you. We would hate to have someone miss out when others may know how to contact her/him. Even if you are a best friend of the reunion committee, we want to have your info to make up a better alumni roster in case somebody else is accessing the email. I have been looking that the blog for the class of 1997, and they had a great success last year. We'd like to see as many of you as possible, and that begins with knowing how to contact you.

Also, if you have any pictures that you'd like to include in the evening slideshow, you can email to this address too! Just pull out that ol' MHS box and scan away!

The Votes are In...

Looking at the polls, it appears that the first weekend of August is the winner for our reunion date. As for the location, we will probably have the picnic at the Sports Mall and evening reception at MHS.

Aaron and I have also been discussing ways to raise some money for the reunion. We are hoping to find some sponsors of local business. If you know of a business or individuals that may want to sponsor the reunion ($25 and up), please email me at murray98reunion@gmail.com . Sponsors will get an ad on the reunion blog and will have mention at the reunion festivities.
