Thank you for setting up this site!! I was on the 10 yr reunion committee and would love to help out again. Look forward to seeing everyone!

Here is the information from the class of 1988's 20 year reunion just io case you are interested
http://www.blackraiders88.org/?page_id=3

I have a suggestion for one of the nights...
What if we rent the room at the new Lewis Bowl (out by the baseball stadium) and have Jerry's Pizza cater it? Or Bob Roe's pizza...
The Walt Fiegel Foundation has rented the room at Lewis Bowl for 5 years for their annual fundraiser. The people are easy to work with, the drinks are very reasonably priced, and there is plenty of room.
What does everyone think of that?
I guess we need to nail down a date.

Pat - why don't we just have a Class of '89 parade and your van can be the first thing people see coming down the street?

Lisa - you're welcome! Good to hear from you!

Jill - Doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. Any guestimation based on your experience as to how big the room is at Lewis Bowl?

Jerry's Pizza - YUM.

Hey everyone, here is the info I received from the
Lewis Bowl Events coordinator:
===============

On a Friday night I can do a room and a half(full service bar area for $400.00.... this can hold set up for 150 - 200 ppl....yes you can cater in food...the only thing you can't do is bring in any outside beverages at all...anything you need we will provide. We do all the set up and we do all the clean up at the end of the night. To book a date, all I need is a signed contract and a deposit. Any questions....let me know....Thanks Jenni/Annex Events Coordinator (712) 252-4545

=================
Thoughts? do you guys think we will have more than 200 people on Friday night?

Jill,

Does anyone from the 10-year reunion committee have numbers from last year so we can see what Friday looked? From what I recall we had a decent turn out but no clue on the actual number... :)

Brad ~ Excellent job on setting up this website! Great idea!

I can't believe we are approaching our 20 year! I will help out in any way possible! I know Brenna Layhee, Allison Waggoner, and Staci Burr helped organize our 10 year... perhaps they can give some info as far as attendance??

Looking forward to seeing everyone!!

How about a Sand Volleyball Tournament???!!!
If we do have one of the evening events at Lewis Bowl..perhaps that afternoon we could do the tourney???
Another option would be the Ickey Nickel. . .
I think we could get a lot of participants and plus everyone could bring their kids, if they so desired! We could have prizes for the top three teams.. or for the best & the worst!
I haven't checked with either place to see if this is even a possibility... But what does everyone think?

Eighty Nine-- Eighty Nine-- Eighty, Eighty, Eighty, Eighty-- Eighty Nine!!

I see what you're saying, Christina....they have sand volleyball courts at Lewis Bowl. Great idea!

By the way...here's Lewis Bowl's website along with a nice, scary picture of my friend, Rob Powers:

I'll just throw out another idea...Doesn't Brenna Layhee and her husband own a bar on Historic 4th Street? Maybe we could check into having the Friday night event there. Brenna......Thoughts???

Teri Steck (Graff)

These all sound like great ideas, now we just need to get a committee together and start setting things up. I would also be more than happy to help with anything. Just give me a call.

09/30/08 09:32 AM #27    

Lisa Reid (Harriman)

I don't know the exact turn out for the 10 yr. - between 100-150. More should attend the 20 yr. Let's plan for 200 then if more attend we can use the extra funds for East High merchandise, cash prizes and donate to the Walt Fiegel Foundation.

Christina Eckstein

Love the idea of donating to the Walt Fiegel Foundation! Perfect!

How about anyone that wants to on october 16th we meet at Bob Roe's around 6:00 for an initial start up meeting? If anyone has a better time or place I am open to suggestions, but lets get this party started. It is nice to read everyone's responses.

Hi Everyone! Chrissey forwarded me this link...great job Brad! I will help out however I can. I'm here in SC now too, so logistically I can do more than those of you who don't live here anymore. All the ideas sound great so far...does anyone have a date in mind? I'll put the Oct.16 date on my calendar for the meeting!

10/02/08 09:42 PM #31    

Brad Carl

Claire suggested to me in an email either the last weekend in July or the 2nd to last weekend in July. I thought either of those dates sounded reasonable. I guess that's a good place to start, anyway.

Nikki Larson (Jernberg)

I too will help out as much as I can. I will be at the meeting on the 16th. Let me know if that changes. It has been fun getting back in touch with everyone! Brad, what a great idea and thanks for getting it up and going!

Molly Welch (Perez)

Brad-great job with this site! I love being able to catch up with everyone. I wasn't able to make it to the 10-year reunion, but I'm planning on going to our 20th (yikes!), so thanks to everyone who is taking on the job of planning it. I know it's a big job, but we all appreciate it! I'm in Houston, so I can't really help much, but if you guys need anything and I can provide it from here, just say the word. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Teri Steck (Graff)

I will put the Oct 16th date on my callendar also, and will try and be there. Thanks

Shari Davis (Beeson)

Hey I would love to help anyway I can being in Kansas City. I will not be able to make the meeting on the 16th but let me know what I can do to help.

Kristi Brygger (Pittman)

Just heard word of the October 16th meeting . . . count me in. :)

Kristi Larson

Sounds like there is real progress on the reunion! I am in Chicago so cannot help much with the planning but if there are phone calls to be made or something (anything that can be done from a distance) let me know and I am happy to help. ALso happy to help out the weekend of the reunion (whenever it is) with any setup or organizing. Just let me know what I can do.

10/16/08 06:30 PM #38    

Christy Rekenthaler (Kolker)

Hey all, I won't be able to make it tonight...call me with whatever I can do. Class of 88 did a night at the Orpheum, so that's an idea too...or the new Stoneybrook Inn & Convention center..that should be done by next year I think...just some ideas.

Apologies to Allison and any others that DID show up at Bob Roes, last night. I didn't find this thread until about two hours beforehand, and I couldn't re-arrange my schedule quickly enough, to attend.

But I'm very interested in assisting and helping coordinate things. We have some good thoughts that have popped up here, so far.

I like the preliminary plan for Friday, taking over a pub (or all of 4th street) like the Class of '88 folks did, this past summer. For the life of me, I cannot remember which place it is that Brenna & her husband own (I rarely go down to 4th street), but that could be an option. Also, the Saturday idea at the Annex is good. Things for the kids to do, big enough for most everyone, we could have music (Mr. Carl and I have a solid connection for a DJ, who would probably do it for little or nothing). I'd highly recommend catering IN, at the Annex, and I'm friends with the Concessions Manager at Hy-Vee, who would surely offer a fair price, as he handles the many functions that our company puts on.

Also, any thoughts on doing another book, like the one for the 10 year reunion. I believe it listed everyone and what they had been up to, over the past years. If it came to printing a publication, I could possibly do that "under the table" for little or no printing/paper cost.

Anyways, just some thoughts running thru my head at the moment, ha. There are a good number of EHS grads that congregate over at WWW.FACEBOOK.COM . Anyone reading this, take a minute and get registered over there. It's a great way to stay in touch!

If Allison, or anyone else, wants to set up another meeting, I'll make sure to keep an eye on this message forum for details. Thanks.
