Location: Marion, Iowa
Details: For those of you who have signed up for the reunion we loook forward to seeing you on July 26th. The committee wants to make you aware the location of the reunion may change, date and time will remain the same. We are considering moving the location to a more informal location such as the Marion Town Square or a local park. If that happens those of you have paid the $50 per person will be refunded a portion of that amount. You will be notified via email by the end of next week on the final decision. We encourage you to contact other classmates and encourage them to attend, even if you're not planning on attending please forward this e-mail to classmates you still stay in contact with.
