We are still determining location, but we need help from ALL classmates. Our goal is to make sure we have contact info for as many classmates as possible, whether they want to attend the reunion or not.
To save costs, we hope that we can digitally get our Facebook group numbers up. Please check through your friends list on FB and ask those who aren't currently in our FB group to join.
Next meeting is finalizing contracts. We are looking at two hotels and working on the best price to keep our costs down. Also, we go on the hunt for classmates. Chris Phillips searches Classmates.com for folks for us. I have addresses from the 25-year for all who attended, but it is hard to track down everyone. We need your help!
Please, attend a meeting, send an e-mail to gshs81@gmail.com if you have a new address (physical or e-mail), invite your friends to join our FB group and spread the word!
Full of spirit, full of fun; We're the Class of 81!
Cheers,
Sherry

Next reunion planning meeting set for July 19
Join us to help plan our 30th reunion. Next meeting is Monday, July 19 at 7 p.m. at Kickback Jack's (old Rockola location in Garner Station). Several people are checking on locations, etc. and I will have more information to post after that meeting. We are currently looking at prices for the last weekend in August 2011. The golf tourney would be on Friday and an informal gathering somewhere local Friday evening. The reunion party would be held on Saturday night.
If you are interested in helping and live out of town, e-mail me (sherryoneal@gmail.com) and we can put you on speaker phone :D

More Reunion Planning Info
Reposted from Sherry O'Neal's post on Facebook (please join the Facebook group to get this info directly!):
If you were one of the several folks (thank you) who told me [Sherry] or another classmate they wanted to help, but couldn't make our first meeting, here is what we are working on.
* doing a golf tourney the Friday before (which usually raises money for our flower fund for classmates)
* going to a restaurant/venue to hang out that evening for those interested. This will be an on-your-own event.
* a Saturday evening event - some want casual and some want more formal so weigh in on this. The issues are liability for something not done at a hotel where we pay someone to serve a cash bar. We might have to purchase insurance if we do it at another location. Some like the hotel option so they can spend the night.
* going out in downtown Raleigh after the event to close it down!
* because we don't know the availability of the venues, we are tentatively planning on Aug. 26-27, 2011. This is NOT SET IN STONE so keep referring back to these updates or to our blog.
Feel free to e-mail or call me with suggestions [join the Facebook group - link above - to be in touch with Sherry] If you know anyone from DJ to caterer to hotel that will give us discounts, please let us know! The more savings we have can get up front, the less it will cost to attend per person.
Thanks to those 10 people who were there Tuesday! We need input from as many classmates as possible! Spread the word and ask your friends from the Class of 1981 to sign up on Facebook or to get put on our e-mail list or to go to our Web site or blog or follow us on Twitter. Thanks!
