50th Reunion
September 27 - 28, 2013
Holiday Inn and Suites
3202 E. Empire Street
Bloomington, IL
The committee has met and has made a decision on a few things concerning our 50th reunion. First was the location. It will be at the Holiday Inn and Suites on Rt. 9 across the street from the airport. We did our homework and found that we could get the best deal for our budget there.
Second was the date. It will be September 27 and 28, 2013. There will be a buffet dinner. More details coming soon.
Third was the cost per person. The cost will be $50 a person. That may sound high but keep in mind the last two reunions we charged $35 a person and lost money on both. This will be a very nice setting and will be well worth the cost. The cost includes both Friday night and Saturday night. Details for Friday night are yet to be decided but will be in the Hospitality Suite at the Holiday Inn.
They also will provide 60's music piped in through their sound system so we will not need a DJ,

Expressing our Deepest Sympathy to Karry Meyer and his family on the death of his mother - Pauline Meyer
Pauline Meyer
Posted: Sunday, February 12, 2012 12:00 am
NORMAL — Pauline Cora Meyer, 94, of Normal went to be with her Lord at 11:55 p.m. Thursday (Feb. 9, 2012) at Heritage Health, Normal.
Her service will be 10 a.m. Thursday at Cross Pointe Church of God, Bloomington, with the Rev. David Lloyd officiating. Interment will be in East Lawn Memorial Gardens, Bloomington.
Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at Calvert & Metzler Memorial Home, Bloomington. The family suggests memorials be made to Cross Pointe Church of God.
Pauline Cora Crutcher was born Feb. 7, 1918, in Bloomington, the daughter of David Milton Crutcher and Hattie Beatrice Cowan. She married Adrian Vincent Meyer on April 21, 1938, in Bloomington. He died Aug. 26, 1991.
Surviving are three children, Sharon (Don) Mitten, Colorado Springs, Colo.; Kerry (Cheri) Meyer, Bloomington; and Gregory (Marsha) Meyer, Normal; daughter-in-law Caryol Meyer, Noblesville, Ind.; grandchildren, Jeffrey (Cheryl) Mitten, Eric Todd Mitten, Mark (Mary) Mitten, Seth (Kathy) Mitten, Shane (Stephanie) Meyer, Robin (Tom) Chiavetta, Matthew (Melanie) Meyer, Joshua (Erin) Meyer, Christopher Meyer and Brandon Meyer; 10 great-grandchildren; brother-in-law, Walt Bittner; and sister-in-law, Dolores Crutcher.
Pauline was preceded in death by her parents; a son, the Rev. Richard E. Meyer; brothers, Henry, Joseph, Lewis, Ivan, Ralph and David Jr.; sisters, Violette and Eva; and her twin sister, Irene; and two great-grandchildren.
Before marrying, she ran the elevator at the First National Bank Building in Bloomington. Determined to finish school, she returned to Bloomington High School where she graduated in 1938.
Pauline’s joy from a very early age was singing. She and her twin sister, Irene, were known as “Uncle Dave’s Twins” as they sang at barn dances and other events. Pauline took part in trios, choir or leading music at church for most of her life. Even through the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s she maintained her beautiful voice and recollection of hymns.
Pauline passed along a wonderful heritage of faith in the Lord Jesus to her children. Because of her love and passion for serving Him, she took an active role in several aspects of church such as the Women’s Missionary Society, Sunday school, the visitation ministry for shut-ins and the music program. She had the gift of hospitality, making everyone feel welcome in her home.
Hobbies included creating clothes for dolls to be donated (Dress-a-Doll program), genealogy, gardening, sewing, reading and crocheting.

Not only is the Class Creator site used for high school classes, but for families and any group that may benefit. If we refer someone to the site and they sign up for Class Creator, a $50 check will be sent to US!! This is a great way to earn a little extra money and try to keep our cost down for reunions.
