Making Progress - but need your help!

We have a date and a venue!

Saturday, September 27th
The Oak Ridge Conference Center (http://oakridge.dolce.com)
Time: TBD - probably early evening

For those interested - we are planning on going to the homecoming football game on Friday night - maybe follow it up with a Waconia pub crawl. More information will be posted on that as the details get worked out.

Stephanie (Kerkhoff) Wagener is going to work on a memorial for our classmates that have passed away since high school. If you have any pictures/stories to share about Tyson Berger, Jon Beutow, or Angie Laugerman please pass them on to Stephanie at sjwagener@mchsi.com. Thank you Stephanie!


We're starting to make some progress on the reunion but need some help tracking down the rest of our classmates - we're at about 50% right now. For those of you that have worked on tracking people down - THANK YOU!!! We still need to find or confirm addresses on the following people so if you have a way to contact them, please let me know at jtripiano@gmail.com.

Day Two - well not really....

So the whole blogging thing kind of died when I got a little overwhelmed with life...I know - excuses excuses....but I'm back and it's crunch time - which happens to be when I'm at my best. We finally tracked down the class listing from 5 years ago and I've already received several responses from people I've emailed with updated information and some leads to finding more classmates. The goal is to get this information together in the next few weeks so if you think you have a lead - pass it on!

We're throwing around the idea of having our reunion the Saturday of homecoming weekend - thinking that it would be fun to go to the game together for those interested. We would keep the official reunion on Saturday though because Friday may be hard for some people to make with work/travel/etc. Right now, we're working the venue piece of that and may have to try for another weekend if we can't get it figured out. If we are able to make it happen for homecoming, it would be September 27th. That's still tentative though so don't go too crazy with reservations or anything yet. Hopefully that will get figured out in the next 2-3 weeks as well.

I'm going to try to keep this blog up to date as we make plans. Please don't be afraid to post comments or send an email if you have ideas or want to help with the planning. The goal is to keep this pretty casual for the 15-year reunion and plan something more elaborate for the 20-year. We just want to focus on an opportunity to catch up and see everyone! More to follow....
