**** Please note that there are some changes to the Reunion schedule****
I would Like to Thank the Comittee on the great work done to make this 50th Reunion happen! Those people are Jan Fought Brown, Kim Wening Marcos, Dale Bennington, Ed Kanerowski, and of course our Class President Chip Carstensen! A special Thanks to Nancy Wolf Szymanski for searching, collecting and organizing of all our classmate contact information and to the many other Classmates who have helped enormously!
We used the Reunion web page to book our hotel Reservation @ the Renaissance for Friday and Saturday nights. As well as RSVPING for all Reunion events. Thanks for setting that up Lon & Jan. It made things ez for us out-of-towners.
We are going to check into the Best Western on Kit road around October 1st & again on Sunday the 7th. We stayed there last year and the newly renovated rooms were a deal at $99.00... They have a very nice indoor pool and Jacuzz with an area off the back that we can BBq and they have have offered a hospitality room if we book enough rooms so please let me know directly and we might even get a better deal than the $99.00 rate quoted on the reunion web page. The freeway is right there by the holel & it was a breeze to get to any where in town that you may need to go. Also there is a grocery store and several decent restaurants with in a block of the hotel... And the class golf outing, Hosted by Marc Hall, planned for Friday morning is right down the road!
