REUNION PLANS MOVE FORWARD

Plans for the 40th Reunion are moving along.  Here are the highlights of the planning meeting on February 28th .

The site selection committee chose Farina's in Berkley.  The date of the reunion banquet will be October 1st.  Exact times and cost is yet to be determined.  The menu will be chosen at a later date.

Hotel sites are being visited.  A block of rooms will be reserved when the location has been chosen. The hotel will provide shuttle service to and from other weekend events being planned.

When final details of the events are worked out, the mailings will begin.  Please pass any alumni addresses on to Patti or Mary as soon as possible so we can get our mailing list as up to date as soon as possible.

Committees formed include:
Decorating: Billy Kirk and Denise Constantineau
Photo: Jim and Cindy Simpson
Music: Jack Field is handling

Weekend Events:
Friday night event: Ena McCavanaugh Ross
Saturday afternoon event:  Jack Field
Sunday Brunch: Vickey Presley Kirk, Billy Kirk and Denise Constantineau

If you would like to help on any of these events, please contact the person directly or come to a planning meeting.  There are many tasks to do and all help is appreciated!

A gmail account has been established for questions and comments.  The address is hazelparkrenion71@gmail.com.  Also questions and comments can be sent to our Facebook page.  Or send your comments and questions to this blogspot.

Planning meetings are scheduled for March 20, April 17th and May 15th.  Locations to be determined. The times and locations will be posted on this site and FB.

Our reunion will be open to other Hazel Park Alumni, with the emphasis on the alumni of 1971.  Having several events makes it possible to include many friends who want to gather and remember the "good ol days"!
