FRIDAY, JUNE 11
We have reserved the meeting room, bar and breakfast area at the Best Western Texoma Hotel and Suites for an informal meet & greet. (A GREAT REASON TO BOOK A ROOM HERE!)
The schedule we’ve planned:
3:00-6:00 pm, you may check in at the SHS registration table, pick up your name tag, and visit with classmates.
6:00-10:00 pm, we will have heavy hors d’oeuvres, margaritas, beer, bottled water, and soft drinks. Because we’re serving beer and margaritas, we won’t be able to bring minor children and grandchildren to this party. Our very own Betty Booher Plocharczyk will be DJ’ing the event.
Cost for the party is $15.00 per person if paid by check,
$15.78 (We have to cover processing fees) per person if paid by credit card through our shswebsite- paid in advance and non-refundable.
Next click on Reunion Registration - www.classcreator.com/Sherman-TX-1969-1970/member_ReunionSignup.cfm and buy your ticket. You'll be able to order a ticket at the bottom of the page. If you plan to mail a check, you will automatically be given a discount of 4.9% during the check-out process. Be sure to watch for the bullet items allowing you to select either credit card or check. The payment by check will be $15.00 per ticket, ignore any pennies that the website calculates.
If you prefer to pay by check (payable to Steve Gentry), send the following information to him: Your name and the names of people you are bringing and a check for the total amount ($15.00 per person).

Mike Covington has invited “riders” (those of you who have motorcycles) to meet at Loose Wheels at 11:00 am for a bit of a visit, and maybe a brisket sandwich or something for lunch. Then, make a trip out around Lake Texoma, getting back in time to clean up for the reunion.
