LOCATING MEMBERS

Please help us locate as many members of our classmates as we possible before this BIG reunion. We have lost a few managers due to illness but Barb King Guire ’63, Bob and Joyce Calahan 65/66 and Bob Burkenbine ’69 continue to search and even locate classmates. Encourage those that are unsure to register. They will be glad they did. Let’s All Pitch In and Help so we can all experience a wonderful gathering of friends and fellow classmates in an unforgettable three days.

contributed monies to help make
this reunion a reality!!!

There are still many out there that have no idea there is going to be a reunion-let’s get them on board. Also if you know where a former teacher is located tell them AND tell us.


A CORRECTION LONG OVERDUE

Sandy Walker Collins was listed as a graduate of 1964 in an earlier newsletter. She actually graduated in 1963. Please accept my apologies dear friend.


If I have you listed in the wrong year let me know. mail@mlhsgrads.org


Ad Posted on Classmates

Planning Committee Met
May 22, 2004 in Ellensburg

The R.O.D. planning team met in Ellensburg to continue work on pulling this HUGE reunion together. We discussed every aspect of the reunion and worked on free time activities for those who are arriving from out of town. It was a very productive meeting and we had so much fun. Those attending were Bill Carl ’63, Carolyn Allen Denton ’64, Gary Olson ’62, Ilse Box Long ’64, Liz Burton Rogers ’65 and Peggylee Pritchett Hallinan ’63.
The Fairchild AFB tour will be held on Friday, May 23, 2004 and everyone should meet at the Holiday Inn so we can cut down on the number of cars and provide rides for those who need them, to the base. Fairchild will provide a bus for our tour of the base. Thank you Carolyn Allen Denton ’64 for bringing this “free” tour together.

Ads and Contributions

Peggylee, Liz and Ilse are working on obtaining contributions and donations for the Silent Auction and Susan Baker Yates works for a company that will contribute food items for the baskets. If you would like to contribute to the auction or the reunion please email me at mail@mlhsgrads.org or call the message line 509-467-1988. We are selling ads for the Memory Book. If you own a business and would like to place an ad let us know. We can use all the support out there for this.

Events

All events will require a ticket to attend the event. If you plan just to come and visit you will need to purchase a ticket for that event. The planning team decided the cost per event will be Friday $25.00 ~ Saturday Picnic $25.00 and the Saturday Night Gala $70.00.    These are individual ticket prices only.  You can prepay or come to the Holiday Inn on Friday night and purchase your individual ticket. Due to the type of ticketing we will be using, duplicates will absolutely not be available, so be sure to keep your tickets in a safe place once you receive them.

FYI

The “Hollywood Nights” gala is in the pavilion that is attached to the Northern Quest casino. The only time you would have to enter the casino is when you arrive to or leave the gala. The Pend Oreille Pavilion is a private room with security posted at the door. We will have complimentary valet parking and you need to let the valet know you are with the Medical Lake High School reunion gala and we are hoping to have several folks at the door to welcome you and direct you to the pavilion. All activities for the wonderful gala will be within the walls of the pavilion. I need about 4 volunteers to be stationed at the main entrance for about 1 hour.
If you have any questions or concerns call the message line or contact me-Liz Burton Rogers ’65.
We can only make this reunion a success if you share the news and attend. This will be the first reunion many have attended since graduation from ole MLHS. By combining all our efforts we will make this reunion a huge success for all who attend. It is up to you to decide to attend or not. In either case we will need to know. I can guarantee you will have a wonderful and memorable time spending countless hours with friends and fellow classmates.
Many graduates of the years 1950-1958 have asked if they can attend and of course they can. Also we have a few from the 1970’s who have registered. You see it is far reaching and will be so exciting. For the year 1954 it will be the 50th anniversary of high school graduation and for 1964 the 40th anniversary. Time flies when you are having fun they say!

Come on you Cardinals to the Reunion of the Decades
July 23rd, 24th and 25th 2004.

We have mailed out over 200 packets with very few being returned due to an incorrect address. I’m sure we have missed some-again let us know if you need a registration packet it isn’t too late. Continue to search for classmates that haven’t been located. This group effort will give some an opportunity to attend their first reunion since graduation!!! I know I’ve found several.
