CCHS Class of '70 Reunion Makes the Grade . . .

Thursday Kick-Off!

Clockwise from left: Nikki, Karen F., Rodney, Charlie, Karen M., Bonnie, Kathy, Regina, Nancy, Janet, Steve traveling and Cora behind the camera

Here is our little committee (minus Steve) at our next-to-last planning meeting, just last week. Look how calm and attentive we are as Nancy reports on last minute reservations. I promise you, this picture was not staged or posed! That's just how focused we are on getting everything done on-time and just right! 

In just two days, we will have our last meeting to finish up a couple of projects and then we will be reunion-ready!

In fact, we are so ready that we decided to get the party started a little early -- like right after our meeting! We can't wait one minute longer to see everyone!

If you are in town on Thursday evening, EVERYONE is invited to join us for the ultra-informal Reunion Committee Kick-Off for the Class of '70 Reunion weekend! After more than a year of committee meetings, we are ready to see other people -- and that means YOU! 

Please join us at Cora's house 

- aka Reunion Meeting Headquarters - 

Thursday night

September 23

8 - 10 p.m.

Cora's house is very near the Holiday Inn - for directions, email her at:

Weather Forecast and What To Wear for Reunion Weekend

We've had a few questions about the weather and what to wear for reunion weekend, so here goes ...

What's the weather going to be like?

The 10-day forecast on TWC shows the following:
Friday - Isolated thunderstorms, temperature high 81
Saturday - Isolated thunderstorms, temperature high 80
Sunday - Partly cloudy, temperature high 76

Looks like it should be a good weekend, but I would keep checking the weather forecast, just to be safe. You know how long range forecasts can be!

What to wear:

Friday daytime and mixer - jeans, slacks, capris or shorts are a good choice for both the tour of the old high school and the mixer at Spinoni's, depending on the temperature. We'll be in the bar section of Spinoni's, which could be crowded - read warm ladies! - but it opens onto a patio, weather permitting, so sweaters or jackets might be a good idea.

Saturday daytime - slacks, jeans or shorts are a good choice for the tour of the new high school and lunch at IV's.

Saturday night - dress is business casual. Ladies - nice slacks, capris, skirts, dresses, etc. - I'm sure there will be some of everything! Men - slacks, knit, sport or dress shirts with collars, no jacket or tie required. The room will be crowded, but it opens onto a big open hallway reception area, so it should be comfortable for everyone.

Sunday - very casual at the winery! Jeans, carpris, shorts and t-shirts are perfect! Temps will probably be a little cooler - a perfect autumn day to be outside in Southern Illinois, just for you!

Be comfortable - Be casual - Be yourself!

Tour of old CCHS campus added for Friday - Meet in front of the Learning Center at 2:45 p.m.

And the number is ...

~ 150 155 reservations ~

( Happy to have those last minute add-ons! )

and we're smiling from ear to ear!

We've still got a little work to do,

but we'll be ready to party

when you arrive.

We wish you 

safe travels

whether you are traveling

from out of town

or across town.
