More Reunion Administration

By Barbara Groark

The reunion weekend is now less than two months away, and that time will go by very quickly. Now is the time to get your money into Dennis ($100 total for one, $200 for couples) and your hotel reservations made. A lot of people have given deposits, so it’s time to get your full payments in. People who are still ‘thinking’ should begin to take action.

A couple of people have commented that they are looking forward to the Saturday morning exercise program, or parts thereof. But now, about Sunday morning. What is planned is breakfast in the Flanders Hotel with Bloody Mary’s and Mimosas – or just coffee and tea for those who prefer.

And believe it or not, Carol Carswell, who is unable to join us in Ocean City, is still maintaining her invitation for everyone to come to her house on Sunday early afternoon, about an hour’s drive west from Ocean City. Her address and directions will be given out on the weekend.

As you can tell from the “Who’s Coming” list on the blog sidebar, we will have a pretty good crowd, but late decision-makers are still welcome. I’m just wondering where the rest of my old lunch table crowd is – Jane Fynan? Donna Fitzgerald? Peggy Wood? Annette Zehler? I see Sue Bronesky, Sharon Stewart, John Bjerre, and Dan O’Connell will be there, but how about the rest of the Homecoming Queen ‘court’? What about all those Future Business Leaders, Future Teachers, Future Homemakers, and Future Brainiacs, I mean National Honor Society members (groups not mutually exclusive)? And definitely the Future and Current Retirees of America, whose numbers are beginning to grow.
