We know that the price was relatively high.  I liked what Scott Poley said in response to a question regarding what did you get for $48.  "We get to see how gracefully many of us have aged."  Scott, you have done well.  

When considering the cost, please keep in mind there were expenses added to the cost of the dinner to offset the cost of mailing postcards and buying a few prizes to give out at the dinner. Hopefully use of this web site will eliminate much of the postage expense if everyone keeps their info current.  

The committee is open to suggestions on what would work and attract more class members for our 45th.  

BTW, if you'd like to work on the committee to help arrange things, there's plenty of room for help. 

While I loved the view from Hill Top, my wife & I suggest the Elmira Country Club as a venue for the next time.  We understand the Country Club does not require membership to hire the facility for a meal gathering such as we had.   We have always enjoyed our meals there as guests of members.  

I was pretty sure the price for Hilltop included extras and hope the treasury swelled a lot as a result. Thanks to Thom for pointing that out and to all who helped out for the 40th.

I thought the dinner was quite nice. I also thought it was a little pricey. I know there are cost involved, but maybe a gathering at a local Vol Fire Dept with catering options could be less expensive. Also, a DJ might be reconsidered as we had 5 years prior. Maybe a good one could coordinate some fun games using old memories. Just a suggestion. I am available to help on some things if committee members wish to contact me in the future.

Thanks, Brenda
