I thought I would explain a little more on the plan for the reunion....
We all wanted it to be a little different from the traditional reunion and a lot of fun!
On that note....

Friday we will start at Southwest for a tour through the school at 4:30. Then to Pin Stripes for cocktails where we have the bowling alley booked for 2 hrs. We can bowl, order food and drinks and they have a nice area to hang out including a bar, bocce ball court, a patio area plus it’s in the Centennial Park area.

Saturday we are meeting at upper lake and we have fun team games planned. We will be serving drinks (non-alcoholic) and lunch. Depending on the day you may want to bring several outfits, one for day and one for the evening... totally up to you... most of this event is outdoors! Sometime around 5 we will be heading towards 43rd and Upton for Happy Hour and yummy hors d’oeuvres and there will be light LIVE 70’s music playing. Later a barbecue dinner will be served and hopefully lots of mingling will be going on.

If you want further details give me a call. 763-478-8111.

Right now we need help finding people. Many people are not on Facebook and we have old information on most people. We need all of you to spread the word and please share this post to your personal page. If anyone has an updated list from the 35th Reunion it would be greatly appreciated.

Becky
