30 Year Reunion Options - Vote Now!

Greetings Classmates!

A small group of us have met to try to pull together an event for our 30th high school reunion. We'd like to know your preferences before we lock in a date and venue. Please vote before April 15th if you have a preference.

Both options are designed to be casual, low cost (pay as you go, mostly) with lots of time to visit and catch up.

Option 1 Details -
A weekend in mid/late July or early August would be selected. The main event would be held on Saturday evening to include a casual dinner, cash bar, live music, to be held at a venue like Lion's Den, or Elk's lodge. Likely, informal arrangements would be made for those who get to town on Friday to gather at a location to be determined (for example, back room at Alex's, and/or Bruno's, etc.) -- for whoever shows up.

Option 2 Details -
An October weekend would be selected. Friday evening, the RHS cafeteria would be reserved for our use to gather and reminisce (bring your yearbooks, old pictures, etc.) and maybe take a tour of the High School. We'd have use of the cafeteria as a "home base" before and during a home football game. You'd be able to grab some refreshments from the game refreshment stand, watch the game, or not. After the game, those who want to, could gather a Bruno's or similar location. On Saturday, a gathering at one of the local wineries (Octoberfest will be going on) followed by a casual dinner with live music would be held at the winery.

We intend to make a decision about the date and location no later than the end of April! So let us know what you think!

Help get the word out, too!

Sorry I couldn't make the meeting! Options sound good and blog works for me! I will send out an email to all of the addresses I have and see what kind of response we get.

Thanks for organizing! If I knew anyone from our class, I'd pass the information on, but the only people I'm in touch with from Rolla graduated in other years....
