05/31/08 05:00 PM #142     Heather Devan (Iverson) I actually do remember what I put in that time capsule, Lui is correct, we did fill them out at Senior Banquet. I would like to go on the record of stating now that I was young and immature and think that I should in no way be held accountable for what is in that time capsule. Just sayin'!

06/26/08 10:07 PM #143     Ryan Hawbaker Hey all, I forgot there was a ten year reunion. I live near bradford and noticed a sign and now here I am. Great.

06/29/08 08:16 PM #144     Tricia Binninger I would just like to say.... What the heck Tarbenders???? We should have our reunion were we had our senior banquet. Is this going to be outside at Tarbenders at night?? yuck. We better all buy stock in mosquito spray!!! LOL

06/30/08 10:06 AM #145     Ruben Acevedo The Tarbenders idea sounds good for the "adult" activiteis. For the pets part are we beinging kids or just us adults there too? If that's been answered sorry haven't checked in much... Any ideas on cost yet? Thanks for any info ;)

06/30/08 04:50 PM #146     Carrie Wynne (Gray) I gotta say, I agree w/ Tricia...I expected the meet/greet to be at a bar, but not the actual reunion...I'm glad there will be something at Pet's as well, but do we all really want to go out to Tarbender's 2 nights in a row? But - I will patiently wait for more details, and can't wait to see everyone! :)

07/01/08 12:11 PM #147     Laura Kram (Wlahovich) I agree with the other people. Both nights at Tarbenders? What ever happened with the Moose Lodge idea? At least that would be a little bit of a more formal thing for sat night. Christa could you check on that again? Maybe it hasn't been booked yet.

07/02/08 06:46 PM #148     Tricia Binninger Hello Tracy are you anywhere??? I think I will check on the Moose Lodge that sounds great. I actually just attended a wedding reception there and the food was excellent. So it may be anywhere from 13 to 17 dollars a plate plus a small fee to rent the place but so what this is the first time in ten years!!! Thats really not that bad. Who doesn't go out to eat to a nice place at least once a month for around 50 bucks????

07/02/08 10:05 PM #149     Lisa Bradley (Reyes) I agree with Tricia and the others, I really don't want to have to say to people when they ask " What did you do for your 10 year reunion ", and I have to say " hang out at a Bar! " How bad is that! I know we live in Wisconsin, but GEEZ! The meet and greet there seems fine, but the actual event too? And the Pets thing seems okay, but what if it rains? Then what, all we have to fall back on is the bar? And most of the room for the bar is outside, because the inside isn't that big, at least not big enough to hold all of us, and like Tricia said, I really don't want to have to battle off all the mosquitos either! Isn't there something else we can do? If it needs to be pushed out til later then, I think thats fine. I really don't think people will mind.

07/03/08 06:22 PM #150     Tracy Pagliaroni Just to let everyone know that I am not planning the whole thing myself there is a group of people and we took the information that was collected from the survey that we did. The majority of people didn't want a formal thing and it was already too late to get a hall at the Italian American Club. We are trying to please everyone, but we all ahould be aware of the fact that we CAN'T. We will try to plan something like a formal thing in the years to come.

07/06/08 11:08 PM #151     Sarah Tudjan (Parise) I don't see anything wrong with the reunion being at Tarbenders. I'm there every thursday and it's a really nice bar. The mosquitoes really aren't that bad. I personally don't want to do the formal thing. Think about it. when you go to a wedding and you see someone from high school you haven't seen in awhile, are you going to go sit at their table and catch up? No...the same thing is going to happen at a formal dinner it will be the same clicks talking to each other. I think if it's a more laid back atmosphere people will be more likely to socialize with old friends. Just my opinion... sorry tricia and Lisa!

07/08/08 01:36 PM #152     Lisa Bradley (Reyes) It wasn't just me and Tricia that felt that way...... with both nights being there, I will probably only come one day. I really don't see the point of having 2 days then, we should just cut it down to one, with it being at the same place, maybe just do it on Saturday then, do the Pets thing "if it doesn't rain" and that night at the bar. Or if it really has to be at a bar both nights, how bout do one of the nights at a different bar, just so it doesn't feel repeatitive. And I've been to that bar too, no offense Mike, but it isn't big enough to hold all of us, especially if it rains and we all have to come inside. Yeah there's tents outside, but whos gonna want to be out there if its raining? Just a thought.

07/08/08 01:50 PM #153     Anahis Injasoulian I don't like the idea of it being at a bar both nights either. It doesn't make it seem like it's a special event, which is what our reunion should be. It doesn't have to be formal, just something more than a meet and greet. Maybe we could just do the whole thing at Pets on Saturday since the space has already been rented. Kids could come during the day and then after a certain time have it just be for adults. If it rains, it rains, but it looks like we'll have the same problem if we meet at Tarbenders anyway.

07/09/08 01:54 PM #154     Courtney Bjorn in defence of the people doing the work(I'm not one of them) a small group of people from our graduating class took time out of there schedules to put something together for us, they are not getting paid for this, they are doing the best they can to put something together for the basic goal of everyone to get the chance to get together and catch up. every one has a idea, or complaint, or judgement. I'm really impressed that everyone cares this much to be honest. for them to get a hall, money would have to have been put down some time ago, whoever wants to be that person, I can't wait for the 11th year reunion, I'm ready for fireworks! but this year its going to be simple. now if dinner is the issue, call your favorite friends, have dinner before hand at your favorite restaurant, that way, you can't go wrong with the company or the food. maybe every year a different person can throw a reunion their way, variety is the spice of life, but its a thankless job. I'm ready for a drink

07/10/08 01:08 PM #155     Lisa Bradley (Reyes) Hey Courtney, just to let you know they only do reunions every 5-10 years, so it's gonna be a while before we all get together again. The class of 99 is already starting to plan their reunion, and it sounds like they have some really neat ideas, and they are putting a lot of thought into it. I just feel like we all kind of forgot about ours and now we're just trying to throw something together at the last minute. I still think that a meet and greet at a bar is totally fine, but the actual reunion should really have more thought put behind it. Maybe the next reunion, we can plan more ahead and do something really nice. And to just kind of remind everyone, the formal thing doesn't have to be extremely formal, we can all sit down and have dinner, then have like a dance type thing with a Dj, so then we can all walk around and mingle with everyone. It's not like we'll be by the same people all night. Just something to think about for next time....

07/10/08 02:15 PM #156     Mike Perkins for those that don't know all the details, we do spray the grounds for the mosquito problem so don't worry about that, someone was looking into having famous dave's cater the event so there will be food, and i am a dj and will be dj-ing for the event also, so there will be food, music, laid back environment, and little to no bugs, all the halls were checked into prior to having it booked by me and nothing was available. i think everyone should thank brianna, marcus, and everyone else dealing with this instead of putting down their efforts, after all they did take suggestions in advance and if you didn't speak up then, sorry.

07/10/08 02:51 PM #157     Alexandria Fisher (Haubrich) Well put Mike! I will see you there!

07/11/08 03:03 PM #158     Anahis Injasoulian Mike, thank you for elaborating on the event. My understanding was that it would be a meet and greet type thing both nights, not an actual get together. That sounds much better and more appropriate.

07/11/08 06:27 PM #159     Carrie Wynne (Gray) Ditto to what Ani said. :)

07/12/08 12:12 AM #160     Jamie Lampos I remember putting stuff in the time capsule but I don't plan on attending the reunion. So how do I get mine? :)

07/14/08 11:48 AM #161     Tracy Pagliaroni Jamie I have the time capsule and what I can do is for those who aren't able to attend either of the three events I will be able to possibly mail them out to you providing you give me your address. And thanks Mike P for your addition to the forum, it was well put.

07/19/08 06:49 PM #162     Timothy Fulmer Tracy, how much for the time capsule?

07/27/08 01:26 PM #163     James Defazio Since I am not much of a bar person lately I don't remember the dress attire for Tarbender's. Who knows? Oh and who's bringing a volleyball and/or badminton for pets? Please let me know. Thanks!

07/27/08 01:42 PM #164     James Defazio Oh yeah, about the 2-night bar thing: Well, I understand both arguments. Some of us have the funds and the type of life-style to have a routine bar life still at this age. Some of us "live" at bars. Or maybe some of us just can't afford the traditional formal idea- or maybe just nobody set up an Alumni donation fund to be mailed to people's houses to prepare for this reunion's funding. Somehow, all of us fit into one or more of these categories. Either way, everybody should be on a more equal playing ground for our 15 ,20, or 25 year reunions. HINT HINT committee- send out alumni reunion funding envelopes to save up for next reunion! I don't like the idea or going to the same bar- sorry Mike- but I go with the flow to meet up with people I want to see and peeps I don't know if they want to be seen. Just like in Lion King HAKUNAMATATA!

07/27/08 09:27 PM #165     Matthew De Witt James, I think the idea is that you don't have to go to all three meet-ups, just the one or two you want to, or are able to go to. I'll probably just go to Pets, since it works out best for my family.

07/28/08 01:11 PM #166     Tricia Binninger Jimmy, I agree!!! Hopefully we can be more prepared for the years to come. I would definatly be willing to help out in the future plannings! :)
