Cheri Baker, June Williams and Bob Colmer stated that they have a couple of disc jockeys that they are considering for the reunion. They felt that we still had plenty of time to make a decision on the disc jockey.

It was also suggested that we check with other CHS reunion committees that have recently had their reunion to see if they have any decorations left over from their reunion that we may be able to utilize. Cheri and June were going to look into that.

Mary Lou Krentzman suggested that we have a t-shirt as part of the reunion package. Everyone thought that it would be a good idea. Mary Lou was going to look into the particulars and costs of providing the t-shirt.

  1. Photography / Videography Committee: Bob Colmer

See previous minutes for information concerning these items.

  1. Financial Committee:Dale Woodruff, Carole (Meese) Costa

Please take time to send some money in to the reunion committee to offset the postage and other miscellaneous charges encountered to get this reunion off the ground.

All funds should be forwarded to Dale Woodruff for deposit into the existing bank account. All reunion committee expenditures will be paid out of this account.

Advertising on the website and on literature sent out regarding the reunion needs to be revisited at the February meeting.

  1. Website Committee:Trisha McLendon

Website is a powerful and effective tool in the preparation for a class reunion. We need to get as many classmates aware of the information available about the reunion on the website.

  1. Classmate Location Committee:Bob Colmer, Greg Zollo, John Wallace, Nick Mastorides, Trisha McLendon, John Hamilton, Mart Lou Krentzman, Lauralie (Vinson) Roylance

Postcards were sent out to all the classmates in the Classmate Directory on the website. We received postcards back with new forwarding addresses. Those postcards were re-sent to the new addresses. Approximately 40 to 50 of the postcards were returned without any forwarding information. Those cards were reviewed by the committee members present. Many of those classmates with returned cards were known by one or more of the committee and will be contacted by them for their current information. There were several classmates that we have no leads on. These names will be put on the website for everyone’s review. Hopefully someone will have information on them and email the website or a reunion committee member.
