from the one previously sent out.

Friday, September 24th
1:30pm – Homecoming Assembly at the Thatcher High School – this is always very well done, and all alumni are
welcome. It will be at the Thatcher HS gym.
2:30pm – Homecoming parade – Alumni can ride in the parade, or just enjoy watching. (It will be up to each class,
or decade, etc. that wants in the parade to make their own arrangements, and to coordinate it with the High School.)
3:00 – 5:00pm – Reunion registration at the High School. Cost will be $30/individual or $50/couple. This would cover
the football game, Ice-Cream social / Saturday: Lunch, BBQ dinner, and the Alumni Volleyball and Basketball games.
For those who can’t make it during that time, there’ll also be registration tables at the Football game, Ice-Cream social,
and Saturday morning. (Note: Prices can be adjusted for those only coming on Saturday, etc. For example: Some
reunion groups will have their own Sat. night meal. ** But the minimum will be $25 per person and $40/couple.)

9:00 – 10:00am – Late registration, and gathering at the High School.
10:00am – Variety Show and Program – with awesome talent numbers from Alumni! (This will be one of those “don’t
miss” kinds of programs!! There’ll also be some recognition and awards for many of the Alumni present, etc.)
Noon – There will be a salad bar and pizza for lunch. (It is hoped that the lunch, and variety show, will just be for
alumni, spouses, ex-teachers, and not for little ones.)

(The alumni will get in free, but the community will have to pay $5 for the ball games, and $5 for the BBQ. Any

Dinner Update

Ok so as of now we will be having our own class dinner Saturday night at the Middle Schools Cafeteria. I know there are alumni games that night so you all need to let me know what time to do it at. I was thinking 5:00pm and be there for a couple hours and then those that want to go to the games can. If not then we can still hang out at the cafeteria. Since this is the weekend of the all class reunion there will be all kinds of other activities planned so I'm just worrying about a dinner for us. I am setting up a paypal account so you can RSVP for the dinner and then paypal me the money for you and your spouse for the dinner. Once that is set up I will give you the exact amount for the dinner. Mr. Palmer has said he will change the amount for the ALL class reunion for our class since we will be doing our own thing Saturday night, once I know that amount I will let you know. Ok I think thats it for now! Keep checking for more updates!!!

Update!

Ok so I'm not sure if you all know that the weekend of our reunion the school is having a All Class reunion as well! Mr. Palmer, Deanne's dad, is planning everything for the all class reunion and sent me a email with the schedule for what he is planning. So I'm thinking we will just work around what he is planning and do a activity that is just for our class! Please all look at the schedule and see when we should have a dinner or breakfast! PLEASE RESPOND ASAP so I can finish the planning!

Thank you all!!!!

PLEASE FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO ANY ALUMNI YOU KNOW, AND PLEASE SEND THIS INFORMATION ON THROUGH ANY MEANS AVAILABLE!! (Facebook, twitter, telephone, snail-mail, etc.) THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!!

Catering Options!

I have gotten some information for the catering for the dinner. Please Please respond with any suggestions on what we should get! If I don't hear anything then I will just make the decision and I want everyone to like what we will eat, so you all need to give me your input!!! This is the letter I got from Adam! Thanks!!!!!

Hi Ruthy,

I've looked at all the class reunions that we have catered for and they have done several different

things. I don't know what your budget is and how many people you expect. One thing that Jenny Palmers class did was set up a pay pal account so each class member could prepay for their meal and that worked great rather than having to hunt each person down to collect their money. Then there was a cut off date where she knew exactly how many people were going to eat. Here is what we've served in the past:

Each package comes with complimentary chips & salsa, plates forks, napkins, & cups & ice for the beverage

• Pick any 2 enchiladas, beans, rice, & tostadas. Served with fresh strawberry lemonade. $10.39 pp +tax

• Fresh grilled Chicken or beef fajitas, hot tortillas, rice, beans, sour cream & guacamole. Served with fresh strawberry lemonade $13.99 per person +tax add Beef & Chicken $15.99 pp+tax

• Pick any 2 enchiladas, beans & rice. Served with fresh strawberry lemonade. $8.99pp+tax

• Nacho Grande bar with ground beef, green chili, beans, sour cream, guacamole, tomatos & olives. Served with Strawberry lemonade. $8.99 pp +tax

We have done several different desserts in the past like brownies sundaes, apple, cherry or peach cobbler with ice cream. Basically we can do everything so you can enjoy your reunion. If you don't see anything you like let me know so we can keep trying. Hope your having a super day. Talk to you soon.

Getting Started

Mark your calendars the weekend of September 24th is our 10 year reunion!

Ok so I'm getting started on all the details for our 10 year reunion! So far what we have figured out is to do a breakfast potluck Saturday morning at the park with the kids. We will also be doing a catered dinner Saturday night for just the adults. I will also be looking into getting a DJ for the dinner so we can do some dancing. Of course we can attend the football game Friday night and maybe have a section reserved for us so we can all sit together. There will also be the assembly on Friday and the parade. What do we want to do for the parade? Do we want to get a float together?

Once I have a price for the caterer and the DJ I will be opening a paypal account so that those who are for sure coming can pay for themselves!

I will also be putting together a new slide show of past school pictures as well as current pictures of everyone with there families and just of them in there travels. So please email me tons of old and current pictures!

I'm totally open to any and all suggestions about the reunion so fill free to help out! Email me at rkmack1@gmail.com or you can also call me 801-822-7475
