Please send us your 50th Reunion t-shirt order, (or call us) if you haven’t already done so. The short sleeve t-shirt cost is $13.00 and the long sleeve t-shirt cost is $16, payable when you register in July. XXL t-shirts are $15.
The cost for the reunion banquet will be $20/person, payable when you register at the reunion. This amount is to cover the meal, hall rental, cost of mailings and printing, supplies, decorations, etc. We will collect donations at the dance to cover the cost of the DJ. The meals at George’s and the Pheasant are on your own.
Dress for the reunion is very casual (t-shirts on the parade float). 50’s dress would be great at the dinner/dance!
Please bring any photos or other memorabilia from high school days to display in the KC Hall. Does anyone still have clothes you wore then? If so, can you still fit into them? (the last question is from Chuck, not the rest of us J) We will make sure everything is returned to you. Also please bring any prizes you are willing to donate; at the last reunion everyone who attended won at least one prize and we are trying to replicate that this year, with twice as many attendees and without going to the Mott merchants!
Feel free to invite people from other classes to stop in at Georges Office, the dance or the Pheasant----or if you want them invited to the dinner, let us know and we will send an invitation.
Thanks, and we are looking forward to seeing you in four months!
