04/11/08 08:03 AM #42     Stephanie Dewey (Juga) Hey guys. Just a thought September might not be a good time for the fact that it is when school is starting back up and for the people that don't live here in town might not beable to make it then. Just something to think about. Also what if we did something like a picnic in the day time and then we could all meet up at a bar or something like that and beable to have adult time.?????? Just throwing more ideas out there. Also some people don't like baseball so making it an option to go probably would be a better idea and then having something else so people who don't want to go to the game can still vist and see everyone.

04/11/08 11:01 AM #43     Bryanna Jurvis (Royal) A couple of people have mentioned wanting to do it in the summer with kids out of school and I think that makes sense. That being the case it looks like the best weekend is August 22nd thru the 24th. The Brewers play home on Friday night, we could rent pavilion 5 at Pets for Saturday afternoon and then plan a meetup at a bar or something for Saturday night. How does that sound to everyone? I will offer to hold a planning meeting at my house this Wednesday the 16th at 6pm if that works for everyone. I live in a new subdivision in Kenosha right off of Washington Road and Green Bay Road so it is pretty easy to get to. Let me know if this sounds like a good idea and if everyone who wants to help wants to get together on Wednesday night.

04/11/08 12:09 PM #44     Tracy Pagliaroni Sounds good to me I will be there...

04/11/08 12:11 PM #45     Tracy Pagliaroni Mike not sure how the money thing works on this web page, but you are able to set it up where everyone is able to use a credit card to buy the tickets or what not through this site. Maybe since they have my debit card info maybe the payment would go to me and then I would be able to pay it at once...I will check all this web page stuff is new to me

04/11/08 03:22 PM #46     Michael Middleton That sounds good. Thanks for making the effort to do all this. This website is pretty cool.

04/12/08 12:36 AM #47     Tracy Pagliaroni Doed anyone have the commencement from our graduation with the list of names, I used the yearbook, and maybe if someone can email me those I am missing it will save alot of time.. Thanks Tracy

04/13/08 07:58 AM #48     Matthew De Witt I have one Tracy, just need to pull it out. I'll email you later today.

04/13/08 08:35 AM #49     Tracy Pagliaroni I added a new column, reunion ideas, if everyone can fill out this survey, It is confidential and will give us an idea of where everyone stands who are not participating in the message forum. Mike did you get the email about this survey also, Just wanted to see if the email all works, and didn't want 100 more emails...haha

04/13/08 01:43 PM #50     Heather Devan (Iverson) I just thought I would throw this question out there... how much is everyone will to give to help make this reunion happen? I have no problem giving money if it helps make the reunion happen. Do we have funds currently set aside for it?

04/14/08 02:10 PM #51     Tracy Pagliaroni I have updated the list with the commencement from our graduation, Thanks Matt DeWitt. For those who live out of town that said that they wanted to help the biggest thing you can do right now is to try to find these people.....I was thinking about using MySpace and Facebook, that is how I found the first few names...Just a suggestion. Bryanna are we still metting on Wednesday night, Call me and let me know your address. P.S. Remember to fill out the reunion ideas survey, so far I have the results from 30 people, remember this is confidental unless you give your name in the response

04/14/08 04:05 PM #52     Michael Middleton Tracy, I did get the e-mail.

04/14/08 05:30 PM #53     Bryanna Jurvis (Royal) For those of you that are interested in helping plan the reunion we will be having a planning meeting at my house this Wednesday the 16th at 6:30pm. My address is 3411 - 50th Ave - I live in the new subdivision behind the condos on the corner of Washington Road and Green Bay Road. Here are the directions: Go North on Green Bay Road/HWY 31. You will pass one stoplight, which is HWY 142/38th Street/Washington Rd. After passing the light 31st Street will be your second right. It is a small side street just past the condo/apartment complex so dont miss it! You will turn right onto 31st street and take this until it dead ends at 50th ave you will then take a right on 50th ave - 50th ave dead ends and we are the last house on the left hand side of the street. It is a gray house with a cream colored porch. Please use these directions and not mapquest or yahoo - our subdivision is new so it isn't loaded into their systems yet and it will give you the wrong directions. If you are going to be there Wednesday please send me a message or reply to this post so we know how many people we will have. If you have any questions my number is 262-909-4130. See you Wednesday! Bryanna

04/14/08 07:08 PM #54     Tracy Pagliaroni I will be there

04/15/08 03:09 AM #55     Dilani Rosa I'm up for Labor Day. Its a three day weekend. What could be better for those that live far away. I was wondering instead of going to a bar at night...cause what bar in Kenosha would fit all of the couples, what about a bond fire down by the lake at night. I know we did that at some point in high school. And those who want to go to a bar afterward can! Also if we are looking for more ideas that incorporate the kids how about renting out the Washington Bowl swimming pool? You can picnic there as well. I worked there in high school and I think they discounted parties.

04/15/08 11:24 AM #56     Lisa Bradley (Reyes) I checked into pricing if we were to do a sit down dinner at like the Italian American club "where we had our senior banquet" for like 300 people, just to get an idea and throw it out there. Its only like $16.00 per person plus tip. I thought that was really cheap! And then just do cash bar, everyone pays for their own, except maybe get a couple kegs or something, and get a dj which would probably be an extra $800 or something, which would be like an extra $3.00 per person. It doesn't have to be there, but I just wanted to check into how much something like that would cost to kind of throw it out there. We could do this one night then do something family oriented another day, like the picnic or something, the Bon fire idea sounds good too!

04/15/08 11:52 AM #57     Kelly Weddel (Young) I am sorry but I would be unable to make it tonight although I would still like to help. Maybe I can catch up on the next one or someone can fill me in. Some of us haven't seen each in 10 years. We need to do something that we can walk around and get back in touch with everybody. I personally do not want to do anything where we are confined to sitting and really only talking to the few people around me. Its going to be this summer so lets do something outside! If we do it outside we can get baseball games or volleyball games going. If the decision is made to bring children then they can play as well.

04/15/08 02:03 PM #58     Bryanna Jurvis (Royal) The meeting is still on for tomorrow night at 6:30 - the directions are in my post above. As of now Tracy, Mike and Erin Middleton, Marcus B., Myself and Craig, and possibly Gianna will be at the planning meeting. If anyone else would like to help and is available please let me know! We will take all ideas that were posted and the information Tracy has gathered from the survey to determine what we will do. We will keep everyone posted!

04/15/08 02:05 PM #59     Kelly Weddel (Young) Sorry I meant WED NIGHT that i was unable to make

04/15/08 04:05 PM #60     Kassendra Oldani Just throwing this out there... Most 10 year reunions are set up the following way... On Friday night there is a pre-party get together at a bar. This is optional and casual so any one can go. Then on Saturday night there is a formal get together that people purchase tickets for. The cost is no more than 25 dollars. The event usually includes a sit down dinner, buffet, or appetizers. Drinks like soda and beer could be included or purchase on your own. This is usually from 5 til ? Cocktail hour first, dinner at a designated time, and possible music(band or dj). Then on Sunday there could be a going away final event, like a Brewers Game or a picnic. Having a picnic for the overall main event is not a good idea... weather like rain or too humid/hot, allergies, set-up like food, tables, drinks, lawn-chairs, etc. Also, bringing children to a 10 year reunion is inappropriate. Not every one has kids or wants to deal with other people's kids. If people with kids want to plan an extra get together on one of those days, where "families" can get together, make it optional.

04/15/08 05:01 PM #61     Monica Anaya i unfortunately can't make it tomorrow to the meeting. keep me posted and let me know if there is any help that is needed. i've been playing phonetag as far as the dew deck info whether that is just optional or whatever is decided. once i get concrete info i'll let you know but it is food, a couple drinks and seats for the game all for about 30 bucks a person. keep you posted on that.

04/15/08 05:14 PM #62     Michael Middleton It's good to have a lot of input. I agree with the previous post that most 10 year reunions would opperate as stated. However, that doesn't mean that that is how ours needs to be. It also doesn't mean it can't be that way. The picnic, Brewer game, and having family involved were just ideas that were suggested. It seemed like they received a lot of positive response so that's why we were running with it. There has been a few responses since that have expressed a desire for something more formal. This is why it is important that people fill out the survey and post their thoughts on this message board. I think having multiple events/options for the entire weekend is a good idea. The main thing is that we all get the chance to get together, catch up, and enjoy ourselves.

04/15/08 05:51 PM #63     Kellie Loewen (Nelson) I agree with both sides of this discussion. The bottom line is that everyone is never going to be happy. I do think there should be two types of events...maybe a family-oriented one where the kids can come and hangout and then maybe like a Saturday night event where it's just adults. It doesn't even have to be super formal...just something where everyone can catch up and talk about old times. I do agree with the point that not everyone has kids...and might not feel comfortable. And some parents might want to use this time to have a night out. Also, yes...weather could be a factor depending on what type of thing you are planning. I'm not going to get involved with the planning of this, but I'm just throwing in my two cents. :) I would like to try and attend no matter what the plan.

04/15/08 06:22 PM #64     Bryanna Jurvis (Royal) I agree it makes sense to have multiple events and I think that is what everyone was always planning on. The picnic was never intended to be the main event - it was more the during the day event with something for just adults at a bar or banquet hall to follow. I understand it is a different crowd for people who have kids versus people who don't and obviously nothing is mandatory - so hopefully having multiple things will meet everyone's needs. I did hear that the formal event last year was not well received which is part of the reason I think people were steering away from it. If it is something people want to do we can definitely look into it! If we have the Brewers game Friday, the picnic Saturday afternoon, an evening get together Saturday night, and then possibly something Sunday hopefully we will meet everyone's needs! Monica and Kelly we will let you know what comes out of the planning meeting and what we need help with! If anyone else is available tomorrow night or wants to help out let us know!

04/15/08 06:30 PM #65     Laura Kram (Wlahovich) I agree with Kelly. You will not make everyone happy. Whether it's an all weekend thing,two events,or one event. Some people will want their kids there, others will not. I went to last years reunion for Bradford with my husband, and have a few friends that graduated then also. They did not like the formal dinner. People ate and left early. Either way overall I can tell people want one adult party, and one party optional for kids. I will go to whatever. I can't make the meeting because I have class wed nights. Also, try to get the word out about this website. I have talked to people and they didn't know it existed or that there will be a reunion. So spread the word!!

04/15/08 07:12 PM #66     Heather Devan (Iverson) I think the idea of multiple events is a great idea. I don't know how many people would be willing but what about doing sometype of event the 4th of July weekend. Also, Pazzo's is a nicer bar that should be able to handle a large amount of people. Just a thougtht.
