Hi guys and girls. Just a few things:
1. As many of you already know, Nina (Powers) Johnson has started up a Facebook group for the reunion where we may also discuss things. I'm thinking we should probably eventually shut this one down and just use Facebook, since there's lots more useful stuff there. However, I don't really want to force anyone sign up for Facebook (although I bit the bullet yesterday--and it's really not so painful), so this forum will stay for now.
2. If you care whether the reunion is in summer or September and haven't weighed in already, please please do! We will have to start making real plans soon. So far I see 2 people who would really prefer summer and a lot of other people who generally either think homecoming weekend is fine or don't have a preference.
3. If you have any email addresses for people on the "not found yet list," will you pretty please send'em along. We're still missing so many folks. Thanks! :)

Posted for Rebecca (Morris) Goldman:

So, I will contact the alumni association and let them know that we want to do the picnic at the game and how many people as we get closer, there's no charge and they give us food before the game.
I can also arrange for the tour on sunday morning of the high school, but if we want a brunch, i don't want to be in charge of the food, so can we get someone else to take care of the food. stefanie said that she picked up food from Sam's and brought it-bagels/cc, donuts/juice fruit and some cinamon rolls. let's see if we can get a volunteer to take care of that, but i'll do the arrangements.

STeffie's class did the tap room in maplewood for heavy appetizers and drinks, she said the space was great but the food was bad, though no one cared. so let's see if we can find a resturant that has a room to fit about 130 people that is quieter than a bar, so we can talk without screaming.
thanks

I think that's a great idea, Susan.

Hey Kathryn! Actually, I had already added your name and email to our fancy spreadsheet. I had not yet gone back through my emails to find your address, which I know have somewhere.

Thanks to Becca (Morris) Goldman for getting the ball rolling. :)
Here are some starter suggestions for the reunion schedule. Any input is very welcome.

-- Do it homecoming weekend (The 2009 homecoming schedule will not be set until Jan. 2009 when the Missouri High School Athletic Association creates for the football schedule. The past has shown that the homecoming game is usually that fourth weekend in September)

-- Friday night: will be blueberry hill for whoever is in town, no cost up front for people
-- Saturday day: picnic/tailgate before the game, Alumni association organizes this
-- Saturday night: NOT a formal $80 per plate dinner, but more upscale then the (10th reunion) bowling alley
Possibitilies:
--Schlafly Tap Room in Maplewood (the 1987 20th reunion really liked it)
--anybody in town own a restaurant they'd like us to/will let us use?
--Any other ideas?????
-- Sunday am: brunch at CHS with a tour
Possibilities:
--bagels/cream cheese type of brunch (not hot blintzes or anything)

Welcome and thanks for helping plan the 20th reunion!
