BUILDING OUR REUNION
(a message from Bonnie)
The foundation for our 50th reunion was built on the research and planning done by a small group of our friends who dedicated themselves to making sure that this VERY important gathering was fun, accessible and affordable to as many of our classmates as possible. A BIG THANK-YOU from all of us – to all of them. You did good!
Foundation Done; The Structure Goes Up! Our reunion theme is: Celebrating and Showcasing the Class of 1969! It is ALL ABOUT US; and we have some truly awesome people in our class. We’ll celebrate our talents, abilities, passions and careers with information on many of our friends who include: a physician, many nurses, a judge, a mayor, environmentalists and OMG we have high school teachers, too!
The “Showcase” part of our entertainment on Saturday, at the Marinwood Community Center, will feature our highly talented (many with award recognitions) classmates who are musicians, poets, artists and actors. The “show” will start at 6pm, with our collective wisdom and wisecracks; however, our BBQ and libations start at 4pm! If you would like to be on stage you too can show off your hidden talent and be a showstopper. Natalie Cox will be coordinating the “Talent Showcase”, so please contact her ASAP so that she can schedule your performance.
Costs and Resources Online: IT IS NOW TIME TO PICK UP THE PACE! We only have 14 weeks to the reunion, and the discounts will end after July 31st! You will find all the information you need regarding registration, event pricing, and hotel reservations (if you need one) on the website, on the top left sidebar under “It’s Homecoming Time for the Class of 1969”. Registration is quick, easy and since I was able to do it myself, virtually foolproof! It truly would be helpful to have accurate numbers of attendees as early as possible!
Class Scholarship Fund Financing: Each year our Class of ’69 Scholarship awards a $1000 grant to a deserving TLHS senior. To support this very popular scholarship account there will be TWO silent auctions! One auction on Friday evening at San Rafael Joes, and a second on Saturday at the BBQ. Items may be repeated at the two auctions so that everyone will have the opportunity to bid on the great works of art, music, photography, wine etc. -- performed, produced and/or donated by our talented and generous class members. If you would like to donate an item(s) to the auction(s), we would very much appreciate your gift. Just contact me and we will plan for a pick-up, delivery or drop-off!
Ribbon Cutting Opening: There will be lots more information coming your way via blog posts, emails, and on this website regarding our free and our low-cost events. We welcome your input and participation prior to and during the reunion events. BE INTERESTED AND BE INVOLVED – this is OUR time to celebrate, showcase and once again be present as the awesome CLASS OF ’69!
Sincerely,
