Look for the Class of 81 tent

Classmates,
Our reunion is seven days away and everyone is excited. When you arrive at the football field next Friday night look for the Class of 81 tent. Come to the tent and we will give you some information, a name tag, and show you where we are sitting in the bleachers. Please arrive early. The school cannot “rope-off” a section for us so several classmates will arrive early and try to save everyone a seat.
See you at the game!

The picnic has been moved

Classmates,

The picnic has been moved to the Waterways Park (operated by Boone Parks & Recreation) located on Rt. 119 - Corridor G - between Danville and Charleston. The setting is beautiful and private located among the trees and hills of our county. This location will also be convenient for families driving in from the Charleston area. The shelter seats up to 200 people with electricity, countertops for food, and private restrooms.

Waterways Park (big sign) is located just across the Boone County line at the “scenic lookout area” on Corridor G. Turn into the park (paved road) and drive to the top of the hill – park by the pool (closed for the season) and our shelter is located on the hill to the left. The shelter is called “Peabody Grove Shelter.”

The park will be about 20 miles from Charleston/South Ridge … Local classmates will be very familiar with the location.

Please email me to confirm that you received this message.

Thank you,
Jeff

Decisions and items discussed during planning meeting on 4/2/06
Classmates who did not graduate but went to school with us will be invited.
We voted to keep the agenda from September 16, 2005.
New things added:
If anybody wants to play golf Sat. morning contact Darrell Kimbler or Tim Messer ahead of time so he can plan for this.
It was also brought up about meeting at Anicia Kerby’s farm on Sat. from 5 til when ever if there are some folks that do not want to go to Charleston at the Holiday Inn.
We will have a hospitality room on the 12th floor. Darrell paid $250 for the room. Donations were pledged by Jeff ($50), Pam ($50) and Tony ($50) to help Darrell with the cost.
There will no alcohol “offered” in the Hospitality Room. Alcoholic beverages may be purchased in the Club at the Charleston House Holiday Inn which is on the same floor as the hospitality room.
We need a group photo for reunion (Larry Ladato) - Coal Valley News?
We intend on making a directory of classmates.
The picnic will be catered by Pam’s mother. Pam is checking on the menu for picnic.
We had a list of D.J.’S and Jeff is to call and check for the cheapest one . Will play music from 70’s , 80’s with some others mixed in.
At the next meeting we will go over snacks and drinks for the hospitality room. Pam stated that she had a huge cooler for drinks.
We will also be updating a list of people that we are still searching for.
Decided to get mailers out to those who do not have email addresses. Jeff was going to pay for postage and get these mailed out.
Mail out should go ASAP - add to mailout, anyone interested in playing gold Saturday morning early please respond so Darrell can get tee time.
Jeff will contact Lisa to reserve the Lick Creek Park from 12-4 p.m. on Saturday, September 9th. Will look for some other place to maybe go in between function at Holiday Inn.
Jeff will contact DJ's to get best offer.
Jeff is to reserve 20 rooms for Friday night also at Holiday Inn
Snacks and drinks for the Hospitality Room will be decided on later at the next meeting. We will need to plan for canned drinks for picnic on Saturday.
Everyone will need to pre-pay for reunion so we will have an accurate count and will not be out any money.
Look for sponsorships to donate to reunion - hang banner with their name on it. Ask everyone to give a little extra for future planning.
Invite teachers to picnic.
Our next meeting is tentatively scheduled for the 4th Sunday in July at 3:00 p.m. at O’ Charles.

Email to Classmates - Sent 3/31/06

The Scott High School Class of 1981 25th Year Reunion will be September 8th and 9th, 2006. We are very excited and we hope you will plan to come. It’s going to be great to be together again.

Here’s what’s happened so far.
The last reunion planning meeting was September 16, 2005. Attendance – Jimmy, Gary, Michelle, Tony, Dean, Dale, and myself (Jeff).
Reunion Date – September 8th and 9th: Friday Football (Scott v. Chapmanville), Saturday Pinic (Lick Creek Park was suggested), Saturday Evening (Charleston House Holiday Inn) (Decided on September 16, 2005).
Pam’s mother will Cater the picnic. The price for the picnic is $15 individual, $25 a couple, $35 a couple with one or more children. (Decided on September 16, 2005)
Darrell reserved a hospitality room which is on the same floor as the club at the Holiday Inn.
I (Jeff) have signed a contract for a block of 20 rooms to reserve at the Holdiay Inn. If you reserve the rooms three weeks in advance it’s $72 (which is a good price). You can call the Holiday Inn to reserve a room at (304) 344-4092.

The Next Planning Meeting is April 2
The next planning meeting is April 2 at 3pm at O Charley's (on corridor G going into Charleston phone 746-0920 – it’s near Lowes). Everyone is invited. Everyone! We want to get input from as many classmates as possible. It will be great to be together and visit. As we visit here is the suggested agenda for our planning meeting on Sunday April 2.

Agenda for planning meeting on Sunday April 2.
1.) Review decisions already made (see above),
2.) Review and correct contact info.
3.) Divide up names to continue future search.
4.) Discuss mail outs,
5.) Discuss D.J. (Do we want Larry Barker or one of the DJs from the list that the Holiday Inn Catering sent me?),
6.) Request donations to help Darrell with the cost of the hospitality room which is $250. Since the hospitality room will be a place for classmates to meet we should help Darrell with the cost. I (Jeff) will donate at least $50 for the hospitality room.
7.) Open for discussion on other matters related to planning the reunion.

The most challenging part of our preparation will be the search for ALL our classmates. We currently have most of the contact information for our classmates but there is still work to do. We want to make sure everyone’s name, address, phone numbers, and emails are current. If you make contact with a classmate or relative please document it and email it to me (even if they say they are not coming to the reunion). We want to keep a record of all of our efforts to contact everyone. Annette told me that eleven of our classmates have died. It’s hard to believe that they are no longer with us. We will set up a memorial table to remember them at the reunion.

Please plan to come to the planning meeting on Sunday April 2. Please bring your yearbook. We need a yearbook or list for everyone who attends the planning meeting. This will help us as we review the current contact info and divide up names to search for contact info we have yet to obtain.

Request for Your Current Contact Information
Please email your current contact information to me (Jeff) at the email address below.

Please give us your name, address, phone numbers (home as well as other numbers), and email address.
