Reunion Glasses

Hello Class of 1991. I hope this message finds everyone in good health and good spirits, where ever you may be.

As all of you know, our 20 year High School Reunion is right around the corner (hard to believe!!). I would like to get an idea of how many people attending and/or not attending, would be interested in purchasing a commemorative glass. At this time, the price for the glass is $10. An example of the glass is below: Dimensions for the 6 oz. Exclusive Hand-Blown Flute glasses are 9 ¾ inches in height and 2 3/8 inches in width.

The glass would have a green stem with Matte Gold etching on one side, see below.

If you are interested in getting a glass or two, please send an e-mail to Julia Bell at jb826@hotmail.com.

Latest Info.

Hello All!

Hope this latest email finds you all well. It is hard to believe it is April and our reunion will be upon us before we know it. A few of us met at Speakeasy and Martinelli's in Salina to finalize the reunion. Here are the latest plans:

The dates are still set for Friday, June 10 through Sunday, June 12, 2011. Just a reminder that this is the same weekend as Central's reunion and as the Smoky Hill River Festival, so the town will be busier than usual.

Friday night is a casual meeting at Speakeasy. It is the former JC's in the Dillon's Southgate parking lot. This is a casual event with each person responsible for any food or drink they wish to consume. Plan to meet around 6. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and we can meet in the patio.

Saturday night is our more organized get together. We have the back room reserved at Martinelli's in downtown Salina (158 S. Santa Fe) starting at 7pm until midnight if we wish. Dinner will be served at 7:30. There will be a buffet style with salads, breads, two types of pasta, and a dessert. The cost per person is $15.00. We do have a bartender reserved for our room, but purchasing drinks will be on your own (unless someone graciously wishes to donate a keg). In order for us to be sure that there is adequate food for everyone, I need to have payments sent to me via Paypal (using salinasouth1991@gmail.com as the payee) or you can send me a check: Casey Ewy, 801 Spani Drive, Saint George, KS 66535. I need to have payments in my June 1. Thanks in advance.

Things are still up in the air about other events. I have provided (hopefully) a link to a survey that I would like everyone to fill out. It will help to plan the remainder of things to do. Even if you are not planning on coming, please fill it out so we can publish some information about you to keep current.

During Saturday night's event, Krista (Hannebaum) Hart has graciously agreed to make a slide show using pictures from high school and present day. It is our hope that every person will submit at least one picture (could be anything) of high school and one present day (family, self, etc.) for us to show. That needs to be done as soon as possible, so she is not working on it the night before we meet. Her email is: kristahart6@gmail.com. We will hunt you down for pictures if need be. :)

On a side note, Gretchen (Usher) Wolfe and Matt Wolfe have organized a 5K run called Strides for a Find. This is a 1st Annual 5K Run/Walk in memory of their son, Bode James Wolfe. They are raising money for SIDS research.All proceeds from their fundraising event benefits Dr. Hannah Kinney of Boston Children's Hospital, a leading SIDS researcher. The race will be held on Saturday, May 14, 2011, in Paola, KS. There are several of us attending and they would welcome as many classmates that could come/race/donate, etc. Their website is: http://www.stridesforafind.org/. It would be another great way to reconnect and show our support for our classmates.

In summary, please plan to attend the reunion. Many prior classes have told me not to expect more than 40 people and I find that hard to believe. I hope to see many of you there to share in some laughs and fun times.

Please don't forget:
1. Complete the survey: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dC00T1RWMmczQnVoNmtuNk9kVEx3ckE6MQ#gid=0
2. Send me your money for Saturday night
3. Send Krista your pictures

Missing Classmates

Hello all! I hope that everyone had a fantastic holiday season and ready to start the new year. Our 20 year is quickly approaching. Many of you have responded to the recent emails asking for contact information. Thank you. Below is a list of the classmates that I have not heard from. I have some of their contact information that Jean compiled at our 15th, but am not sure if it is current. If you have any insight or know anymore about our "missing" classmates, please send me an email at salinasouth1991@gmail.com. Thanks to all for your help!

Hello!

I can’t believe that the time for our 20^th reunion is upon us. It does not seem possible that we graduated that long ago. Jim Demaree, Katie Gullickson Junk, and I have been working on getting things organized for our reunion.

The dates will be Friday, June 10, 2011 through Sunday, June 12, 2011. These dates coincide with the Smoky Hill River Festival and Salina Central’s 20^th class reunion as well. Motels may be limited, as no hotel will secure blocks of rooms at a discounted rate. At this time we are planning an informal gathering on Friday night, possibly at The Speakeasy (formerly JC’s), a possible activity on Saturday during the day, a dinner and social on Saturday night at Martinelli’s, and possibly something on Sunday. With the River Festival that weekend, that option is out there, as well.

More will be coming, but here is what I need from each of you. At this time, I need a way to contact each of you to relay information. I would like to do most of this from email, but would like addresses too, if possible. It is important to have as much contact information so that the person getting our subsequent reunions together has as much information as possible. I know that many people do not want their phone and home address out there. For now, this information will stay with me in the class database. If we do a public directory, we will just include names and emails. Please send me a return email to: salinasouth1991@gmail.com and include your name, address, and email. We know that everyone is busy, but we would appreciate your replies as soon as possible, so we can begin to locate everyone.

We do have a class blog page. It is http://salinasouth1991.blogspot.com/ Look there for updates and information as we get it. We also have a Facebook page. We have over half of our classmates on there and it is a great way to keep in touch.

Krista Hannebaum Hart has gladly agreed to do a slide show. She will be asking for pictures.
