Request for Email Addresses
|
|
Details:
|
Classmates: We have quite a few classmate's email addresses and use that mailing list to share classmate information and reunion updates. We also share information here on our class FaceBook page, and FaceBook group page in an effort to reach as many people as possible.
Email is our preferred way to share information because a mailing list is very efficient and the other web sites have limitations like a limited number of characters allowed or not allowing file attachments, email addresses or web addresses in posts.
If you are NOT already receiving reunion information by email, would you consider sharing your address with the reunion planning committee? We respect our classmate's privacy and send email with all addresses hidden so they are not displayed, and we will not post them online anywhere.
So...If you are NOT already receiving reunion information via email, please consider sharing your email address. You can email: sidneyhs1969@gmail.com with the address to be added.
Thank you very much, and have a GREAT Easter weekend!

SHS Class of 1969 50-Year Reunion Planning Meeting Notes
6th Planning Meeting – March 20th, 2019 7:00 PM
Rood’s Tire Center (Thanks for Hosting!)
Those attending included: Dwayne Ahlberg, Keith Nienhueser, Loren and Geri Rood and Jim Copley
It was noted that our reunion now 5 months out
Recent posts to our class FaceBook page were discussed. Online digital archives of the “Telegraph” dating back to 1875 are available at the Sidney Public Library web site. It is key word searchable…pretty neat!
It was confirmed that St Pat’s would like to participate in a combined reunion. Jim will talk to their contact to get input for a press release.
Loren and Dwayne are in continuing discussions with Dude’s about dinner and negotiating pricing. Our date of Saturday August 17th has been reserved.
We discussed a registration form that Sandy White had developed. When pricing and Saturday events are finalized it can be updated and ready to go live.
Souvenirs: Sarah Johnson Bourlier called with input about souvenirs. Her nursing group’s reunion ordered coffee cups/mugs that were well received. We’ll include her suggestion in future discussions. Thanks Sarah! It was noted that souvenirs would add to the total per person cost which will be taken into consideration in any final decisions.
We discussed the approximately $700 on hand for a donation to the school. Timing for individual scholarships is probably short considering applications, review, awarding. Ten years ago, the district provided a list of potential purchases all of which were out of our budget. Steve Mattoon will talk to the school about a donation to the school foundation.
We began discussions about planning a program for Saturday evening which will certainly include a memorial to deceased classmates.
Dwayne and Jim got together Wednesday morning to update and share new classmate contact information. We have just about exhausted publicly available searches for still missing classmates. Many phone numbers and email addresses from ten years ago are no longer working. There are commercial lookup services that can provide US Postal addresses and phone numbers for a fee. We may consider their use for remaining missing classmates.
Loren can provide tables and chairs for the Friday evening at Steve’s house. He has a trailer and can load ahead of time. We’ll put out a call for a crew to help on Friday to set up. He can park the trailer at Keith’s house across the street until it’s time to pickup. Loren and Geri’s children have volunteered to help as needed. Thank you!
Steve will order PortAPotties for Friday evening and reserve the Shelter House as a backup venue in case of inclement weather.
We’ll meet again the third Wednesday in April which is the 17th.

Class of 1969 Reunion Meeting Notes
February 27, 2019, 7pm, at Rood's Tire Center
Thank you Sandy for writing up meeting notes
Those attending included: Loren Rood, Keith Nienhueser, Mike Sutton, Linda Berlage, Dennis Contratto, Gwen Stone, Duane Ahlberg, Steve Mattoon, Sandy White and Jim Copley. Gerald Thompson and Dean Walmsley joined the meeting electronically.
We discussed the list of classmates with no contact information, and how/who would reach out to try to get their information before the next meeting. JIM will contact the local media with information about dates, and continue to get the word out on social media. The class reunion e-mail address is SidneyHS1969@gmail.com (password available upon request). Please talk the reunion up among fellow classmates and help get their contact information to us if they are not already receiving reunion details.
We decided Dude's would be the venue for Saturday evening activities. Some of the committee would like to do a site visit. LOREN and DUANE will contact Dude's to confirm the SATURDAY, AUGUST 17 date asap. Final menu choices and costs will be determined soon so that information can be included on the registration form. Some classmates have requested that dancing be available. The decision of having a DJ to provide music for dancing OR using a CD or streaming service will be considered.
A block of hotel rooms has not yet been set up. It was noted that the America's Best Motel is just across the street from Dude's and would be convenient. We will advise people to use Google for lodging availability and pricing at if other lodging is desired.
People from the St. Pat's 1969 Class have expressed interest in attending the reunion. They have not planned one of their own and it was the consensus of our planning committee to combine reunions for St. Pat’s graduates who would like to attend. They will be invited via a contact person from their class.
STEVE will look into donating the monies collected at the last reunion as a donation to the school, (about $700?) to the Sidney Public Schools Foundation designated for scholarships.
We decided to have Outlaw's Catering provide food for the Friday evening event at Mattoon's. The final menu, to include BBQ beef, will be determined at a future meeting. LOREN will secure the FRIDAY, AUGUST 16 date with Shawn at Outlaw's asap. Steve will reserve the shelter house at the park in the event of inclement weather. Tables, chairs, bathroom facilities need to be determined. This can be a Bring Your Own Beverage event.
JIM is going to work on a Google form for registration. We might want people to include some personal information so a booklet can be put together. Keith brought a booklet from his wife's reunion that was very nicely done...and lots of work.
Lot’s of out of towners have asked about how they might help. Suggestions discussed previously include: Memory book, memorial table, nostalgia boards or photo collages, pictures, souvenirs, name tags.
The next meeting will be on Wednesday, March 20. Same time and place, Rood’s Tire Center at 7:00 p.m.

Reunion Planning Meeting Notes

Included below is a link to our January 16th class reunion meeting planning notes. Thank you very much Linda Berlage for taking and writing them up!
We are sending reunion information to email addresses we have on file, through a class FaceBook account and group, Classmates.com and the Sidney Schools alum site, but there are still classmates we are not reaching. Please talk the reunion up with classmate friends and if you know of someone the information is not reaching it would be a big help if you would share the dates (August 16-18, 2019) with them, and get their contact information (e-mail, phone and address) to a member of the planning committee or in a reply to this email address,
We'll share an updated list of classmates we have not heard from as well as reunion registration information and details as they become available.
Thanks, and hope to see you all in August!

|
Details:
|
Included below is a link to meeting notes from our October 17th class reunion planning meeting. Thank you Sandy White for writing them up.
We will not meet in November and December but everyone's homework is to talk the reunion up among classmates and make sure everyone is aware of the dates for planning purposes. We've reached many classmates who use Facebook, Classmates.com, the Sidney Schools alumni site and for who we have email addresses, but there are many we are not sure the information is getting to. Please reach out to your classmate friends to make sure they know a reunion is being planned, the dates, and share their contact information if they were not already receiving updates.
Take a look at the meeting notes and please feel free to provide your input into activities you would like to see included.
