So, it is officially 2009, which means in one year we will have our 10 year reunion. In order to make this reunion enjoyable for all, this forum will serve as a way for everyone to have their say. If you have an opinion on what time of year the reunion should be, let's hear it! I know we have classmates all over the country (and some abroad) so we want to do it at a time that is most convenient for the majority. Any opinions on where the reunion should be held are also welcome. The most obvious choice is Forrest Grove, where a lot of Walker High reunions have been held. But, since this is your reunion, we again want everyone to have an enjoyable time, so all input is welcome! Lastly, if you are willing and able to help with the planning in any way, let us know!

Tasha Jones (Rowe) Hey Jamie, Just wanted to let you know that we had Andy's last year at Oak Lodge and it turned out really nice there. So that may be another place we can look at depending on the price at Forrest Grove. And depending on the amount of people we get a response from on who will be attending. Just a little FYI. Loves, Tasha

Hi Everyone!

So just some opinions: I voted for Forrest Grove in D.S. because of location & b/c my sister had her wedding reception there - beautiful place, good food, good service, a little pricey, but worth it. I also wouldn't mind a hotel in Baton Rouge. I looked at Elegant Affairs for my own wedding reception & was NOT impressed with the place - yeah, you get more for the money, but the place looks cheap - not impressive. But none of that may matter to others, so take that info with a grain of salt.

Also, I don't necessarily think that August is the best month to have the reunion. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a parent, but it seems that all parents complain about August being the most hectic month - back to school for kids and teachers, fall sports & recreation, etc. Maybe October or November...

Samantha May I agree with Lindsay... August just seems like a very bad month because of school and so forth. Is it too late to say June or July because of reservations?

It looks like Forrest Grove is the overwhelming favorite, so we will probably end up doing that. As for the date - I didn't want to do November and December for the fact of it being so close to all of the holidays and I definitely wanted to try and get it in before LSU football starts. June and July are big wedding months, so I'm pretty sure they'll be booked up by now. I am also not a parent, but figured that one Saturday night in August would not be too much of a disruption to the school routine. But, I'm open to hear opinions. Parents - is August a no go?

Hi everyone,

I'm not a parent either, but I agree that August may not be a good month, depending on the date. I voted for either one because right now it doesn't matter to me, but who know what can change in a few months in one's life. Also, you have to take into consideration that most people go on vacation during the summer so you don't want to choose early or late summer.

My suggestion, if possible, is to obtain some available dates, vote on them, and go from there. I think this is something that should be done soon as this year is quickly flying by and it will be 2010 before we know it. That way, we can decide, set date and venue, and start planning. As previously stated, most of us are located across the country and even abroad so we have to have time to plan trip.
