REUNION SCHEDULED: SEPTEMBER 20th

The 1998 Class Reunion has been planned. Here are the details:

Saturday, September 20th

11am: Things will kick off at Mosher Park with a Potluck Picnic. Alcohol is allowed in the park, but it will be BYOB. If the weather is bad then, we can cancel without any costs to a caterer that way. When you respond to the invitations, you'll be asked what you will be bringing to the picnic.

7pm: The evening portion of the reunion is being held at Yanni's Too in Coeymans.
Open bar: 7-9pm
Appetizers 8-10pm
Desert & Coffee 10-11pm

There will be a DJ & some activities. The overall event is relaxed and informal.

Prices: We are estimating that the price will be around $60 for a single or $110 for a couple, with a discount for making your reservation and sending your money ahead of time. (this is obviously subject to change slightly pending our final committee meeting and all final details).

We also decided that we will be doing a 50/50 at the reunion. Half of the money will go to a drawn winner and the other half will be donated to the school in the form of a scholarship for one of next year's students going to college. If you do not wish to go to the reunion but wish to make a donation towards this gift, please contact Melanie to make the donation.

If you have any objections to the plans, let Melanie know ASAP as it is still in a stage where there could be changes made. The committee will meet within a week to make final plans and get invitations prepared.

When you receive your invitation, please respond as quickly as possible so we can get a head count. If you know now that you will be attending or will not be attending, send an email to melpotter22@yahoo.com so a headcount estimate can be started.

Also, if you are coming from out of town and do not have friends/family still in the area, please let Melanie know and arrangements for a place to stay and we can help arrange rides to the events.

There are a few issues that need to be dealt with following this email. First, we have some people still missing:
Jonathan Barrett Josh Bradley Nicole Conrad
Becky Curless Tom Martone Ryan Merritt
Edwin Pounds Ray Quick Lauren Radliff
Erica Roll Cristal Seibert Jose Vasquez
Charles Wilsey Michelle Wright

A few of us were also going through old yearbooks. Just because someone did not actually graduate with us does not mean that they are not included in this reunion. If you know anyone (or come across anyone looking through old yearbooks yourself) who you would like to see from our class in years past, let me know and we can add them to the list of people we are searching for. I will put out an email dedicated solely to missing people in a week or two, just after the rest of your invitations go out.

Second, we would like to put together a slide show to be shown at the reunion. In order to do that, we need your help. Please send me - via email or snail mail - pictures old or new. We would like to have a mix of elementary through high school years and college through now pictures. Send me pictures of you and your family now or you and friends goofing off in HS. All are welcome and will be included (if you send me hard copies via snail mail I will make sure to get them back to you - please include your address so I can return them or they will be returned at the reunion).

Thank you all for being patient with this process. It has been a learning time for all of us on the committee and we can only hope that the next reunion will be that much easier to plan!!

Talk to you all soon!!
Melanie (Relyea) Potter
