40th Reunion The first order of business is to nail down the date which we will do when the Football schedule comes out in February. If there are multiple weekends that can work, we will post a poll here on the website so that the class can select the preferred date. We are searching for a hotel with reasonable rates, good facilities, and easy access to the Metro. In the Jan 10, 2010 committee planning meeting, we made some updates to the potential schedule as follows:
Friday Afternoon (same as before): Meet at the school. The current principal is very excited about hosting us and promised a personal tour of the new facilities.
Friday Evening (same as before): A home football game (can you say tailgate?). Perhaps we can influence the administration's selection for homecoming weekend. After the game, we'll likely convene at the hotel bar.
Saturday Night: A sit down dinner is too confining. Finger food and cash bar is much better suited for mix and mingle. Where? Ideally, at the hotel so stumbling into bed is easy but we have not ruled out finding a party room somewhere else.
Sunday: A cookout at JV's house.
Note that this leaves Saturday afternoon open. The out of towners may want to visit family and other friends. Sub-groups of classmates may want to make some separate plans. We also discussed the possibility of a softball game - and perhaps a pilgrimage to see Mr. Marco.
