OTHER INFORMATION:

Dress is casual

We will again invite teachers, and invite folks to $sponsor$ teacher meals.

Our goal this year was to help keep costs down in hopes that all y’all can come. Instead of spending money on a large deposit for a semi-fancy venue, with dress up attire, and a DJ, we chose a room in a local family restaurant, with a 1970s playlist on Spotify, a small dance floor in the corner, and a memorabilia wall table. Y’all come!

INFORMATION SOURCES:

We have email addresses for many/most folks. If a classmate is not getting our emails, please email Beth Ragan Gad (nbragan@gmail.com) with their contact information.  

A few folks that  only have phone &/or mailing addresses. We will contact them as best we can.

Many of you are in our Facebook group (FVHS Class of 1975).

I understand that classcreator is not super user friendly but it does send out group emails for Beth easily.

If you are reading this, you at least got into the program!
