08-06-2009 - Committee meeting August  6th
August 6, 5pm at Grady's office
IN attendance were: Bill Richardson, Mark Kirchner, Gary Patton, Diane Hull, LInda and Dick Jones, Mark Heier, Stan Runnels, and Paulette Chartier. Thanks again to Grady for his contributions.
The committee met to discuss the particulars of the reunion event. Mark Heier shared his idea for the video he is creating for Saturday night. The video will be fairly short with a review of the past in contrast with the present. ?The committee members will meet at Paulette's house to film the group portion of the film on Sunday, August 30th at 2:00 pm.

Bill Richardson has secured a ramada at Daley Park for Friday night, October 23rd for our classmates as well as any Tempe Grad or McClintock grad who would like to join us. Bill is supplying the first two cases of carbonated beverage :) as well as some chips and salsa. Some classmates have made donations to help cover the cost of securing the ramada and providing refreshments. The permit will allow us to meet there from 4 pm until 10 pm. The committee will be responsible for setting up and bringing drinks and appetizers. Any one who wants to contribute is more than welcome.
Linda Jones has secured a block of ten rooms at The Arizona Grand. Those rooms have been taken but you may be able to call and get a room for that same rate of $119. per night. This is a good deal compared to the 200 plus regular room rate.

All classmates are encouraged to send in their payment for the Saturday night event at Rustler's Rooste. ?This is the time to let us know your intentions by sending in your reservation.

Stan Runnels has agreed to do an invocation.

We are hoping that Pat Gill will be able to have names printed on labels by computer.

We have at least 5 teachers who are attending the reunion and their admission fee will need to be paid by our class. Contributions or donations would be appreciated.

The next committee meeting will be held on September 3rd at 5 pm at Grady's office in Tempe once more. All are encouraged to attend.
