Hello classmates of 1975!   running tally of number of classmates and guests who have officially registered and paid or made arrangements to pay:  8

Golden Jubilee to be held 19-21 September 2025  All events are at the Generations Building, 529 W 15th Street #501.  Portales, New Mexico unless otherwise specified.

Registration information and A full Schedule of Reunion events are on the Reunion Information page.  I have been told some of you cannot see the Reunion Information page so I will briefly describe the information here.   We have 3 types of events and several ways to attend the reunion.  The full reunion includes all meals (4) , 2 party snack events,  picture and access to events.  Cost is $55.00 per person.  Registration is open and ends August 30, 2025. The first event is Friday night at 5:00.  When you arrive, you will be given a full schedule of events with any tickets to pull out events  you signed up for.  

To register: If you have Zelle or cash app, it is easiest to just call me. I will need to know what pull out events you are interested in, food allergies, drink preferences and special requests.   Call anytime.  If I don't answer, please leave a message and I promise to call you back as soon as I can. Thanks 575-693-3860

Best paper trail is to print out the form and mail it to me.  If you cannot print out the registration form: just put the above information down on any paper and send it to me with your check or money order.  I will also need your name, address, email and phone number, Number attending and names of guests :  Gwen Limmer, 6356 Calle Tesoro NW, Albuquerque, NM 87114.  Make payments to Gwen Limmer

PULL OUT EVENTS:  We have planned several special interest events which may appeal to a small portion of our group.  These are designed to augment the reunion and anyone may sign up.  Each event has a limited number of participants, requires reservation and is paid directly to the event when you attend. These events are: Friday-18 holes of Golf, Trip to Blackwater Draw museum and site,  PHS RAM football game( pending a home game). Saturday-Wine and Cheese tasting, Tour of ILama farm, Tour of PHS. Sunday-Massage, Tour of Petty Studio and rock and roll museum.  Dance class and yoga could also be arranged if there is interest.

OPEN EVENTS: Historically many of our local classmates have not attended the Reunion.   To encourage their participation, we have included 4 OPEN EVENTS which do not require cost or registration.  

OPEN EVENT: 1.Friday NIght: 7:00.  There will be a meet and Greet at Uncle Mikes music venue,  401 S Avenue C, Portales New Mexico.  This event is being organized by Erleen and Dan and will feature musical talent  from our class.  This is a free event in a non-smoking and no alcohol venue.  Drinks are available and offered free of charge but donations accepted.  

OPEN EVENT: 2. Saturday:  1:00 to 3:00. Open visitation. Generations Building.  The class of "75" will be in residence at the venue and welcome all family, friends or former teachers of the class to join us for visitation.  Refreshments provided.  Games, photo ops, and crafts

OPEN EVENT: 3. Sunday:  1:00 to 3:00. Memories  Generations Building.  There will be a memorial for our lost classmates with candle lighting ceremony.  All friends and family of our lost classmates are invited to attend.  Refreshments provided.  This is also a time to share memories, photos, stories, 

OPEN EVENT 4. Sunday:  6:00 pm to 9:00pm. Pats Parking Lot. Farewell event.   Classmates are invited to hang out at Pats Parking lot , bring a folding chair if you have one, come out and have one of Pats famous shakes or just  Hang out.  For those so inclined, I notifed the Portales PD we may be dragging main so they dont think we are a bunch  of old geezers out to make trouble.  

notes:  FYI. I have learned the ENMU rodeo Daze event will be happening from Thursday thru Saturday while we are there.  If you get in on Thursday this would be a great event to attend

I have negotiated a lower rate with The Super 8 In Portales.  Just mention the Class of 1975 HS reunion.  I am not recommending  this hotel over others but for the price, they are clean and a good value for below $75 a night.  

SWAG:  We have set up a SWAG Site to purchase class shirts ect thru Sir Logo in Clovis.  If you are interested a portion of the event sales will go to the class reunion fund.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

We have scheduled a yoga class at 10am on Friday for any of you who will be in town already.  

This is also a reminder to get registered for the full reunion .  Registration does not close until August 30 but please dont wait until the last minute.  Having an idea of head count and what allergies we are working with will be better dealt with as early as possible.  Thanks
