Class Of 2000 |

Hi Everyone,
We hope that those of you who could make the Class Reunion enjoyed yourselves. It seems like the events went off without a hitch, and we were happy to see such a great turnout. Thank you again to those of you who volunteered your time and/or donated additional funds to help with the costs. Hopefully everyone is now looking forward to another great reunion in 2020!
One important issue was discussed at the Reunion Dinner, and we hope that all of you will consider how you want to be a part of it. As the officers of the Class of 2000, we believe the class should make a diligent effort to establish a Class Gift or Scholarship Committee that would be in charge of raising funds for a Class Gift or Scholarship, and then would also determine how the class or the Committee will decide where the funds go. At this point, we are simply asking for volunteers, and we hope we will have 5-6 people willing to converse once a year or more and attempt to help us with fundraising for the gift or scholarship. This will be the pioneer committee, and will set the tone for how this is going to operate - if you are interested, please email us back and let us know!
As for the reunion, although we have seen some pictures posted on Facebook, please consider posting them on the website! Our plan is to keep this up for the foreseeable future, and it's a great way to memorialize past reunions. And if you have any comments or suggestions on use of the website, please don't hesitate to let us know. We know many of you are probably way more computer savvy than the three of us combined, and we don't want people to lose interest in the site.
Finally, if you have any comments, suggestions, questions, or criticisms (please go easy on us, we tried our best!) of the reunion, please let us know. We hope you liked the venues, the decorations, the ideas, the food, and the drinks - fortunately, we were able to accomplish everything without going in the hole, and have a good amount of money to help us get started with the next reunion in 2020.
Please get back to us soon regarding the Class Gift or Scholarship Committee. And please post your Reunion pictures! It was great seeing many of you, and we wish you the best of luck over the next 10 years. We will be in touch!
Kind regards,
John Wadley - President
Garrett Johnston - Vice President
Brian Franks - Secretary/Treasurer
