When Will My Invitation and Reservation Packet Arrive?

... taking it to The Wall!
Excitement about the big reunion is gaining momentum and we are busy, busy, busy around here!

Months of meetings and tons of plans are finally coming together and we're getting really excited ourselves, because ... well ... you're coming aren't you?


Every time we find another missing classmate (I told you how busy Nancy has been!) ... see another old friend pop up on Facebook (a new face almost everyday!) ... or receive a check in the mail (thanks to everyone, near and far, who is doing what they can to make this happen!) ... we know that all of our work will make our reunion 40 years worth of fun!

We've had a few queries lately from concerned classmates, afraid that they may have missed out on the mailing.

Well, not to worry!

The invitation and reservation forms are being finalized right this minute -- well, as soon as I finish this email, I'll be back to work on the forms.

Anyway, next week we're planning a big stuff-the-packet extravaganza! We've got details ... answers ... and questions ... about everything you need to know for the reunion, along with a reservation form to fill out and return by snail mail. (Sorry, no online reservations until everyone has a computer and I master another computer skill set.)

In the meantime, here are a couple of things to think about:
  • Friday evening - casual get-together at Spinoni's @ 7 pm - until, with a cash bar
  • Saturday morning - take a tour of new high school (former East Campus location) @ 11 am
  • Saturday lunch - join the group planning to go to Italian Village after the tour, if you like
  • Saturday evening - social hour, buffet dinner (reservations only), music and lots of conversation!
  • Saturday afternoon - on your own to explore the wine trail, take a hike, visit favorite places
  • Sunday afternoon - stay, if you can, for The Ivas John Band concert at Rustle Hill Winery from 3-6 pm - Charlie Morrill is the band's drummer! (and we hear Chuck Cochran will be sitting-in to play too) - a reunion bonus! 
  • The Holiday Inn is holding a block of rooms for us, but you must make hotel reservations by August 24, 2010, and ask for the CCHS Class of '70 Reunion rate of $109/night.
  • The Hampton Inn is just down the street from the Holiday Inn and within easy walking distance.
  • Additional lodging info is listed on past posts to this website.
So be on the lookout for your invitation and reservation form coming to a mailbox near you! And get busy booking those planes, trains and automobiles. And making hotel reservations, if you need a room. And call, email, text or message to let your friends know you'll be here and you want to see them here too! Make it a nice long weekend --ask for Monday off too -- because you won't want to miss all the fun at the concert!

And watch THIS SPACE - we'll be listing the names of everyone coming to the reunion, just as soon as those reservations are returned.

Or, if you just can't wait ...

Leave a comment ... right here! ... right now!
