Fall 2011 Get Together!

Chesterfield, Missouri

Have fun this Saturday! Drive safely!

Hi all,

We had a good meeting Tuesday night (April 25, 2011) at Wente’s. There were only 7 of us there but we made some executive decisions J. We are going to have a fall alumni get together (’72, ’73, ’74 alumni) on Saturday, November 5^th. Terry was there and he said that was a good date for him. We’re hoping it’s cooler having it at this time of the year (last year it was really hot in and outside of the bar!).

Our next meeting will be Monday, May 23, 7:00 at Wente’s so mark your calendars. We don’t have a lot to do, but we need to talk about ways to contact alumni of our class and the other classes. Plus, we always have a good time when we get together for these meetings, so it’s a good excuse.

I will be sending out a Save the Date email with the November date to all those that I have email addresses. If you have email addresses for people that don’t show up “found” on our website, PLEASE get their information to me.

Big thanks to Terry Wente who gave us a VERY generous donation to the ’73 Alumni Committee to help with our 40^th class reunion!!! This check was a portion of the proceeds from last July’s get together. Thanks also to Jeff Trindle (’73 alumni) who added a generous donation to Terry’s total! If you are ever in Chesterfield Valley make sure to stop in Terry’s place for some food and drink.

So, mark your calendar for Saturday, November 5 – see you then!

Thanks,

Connie

Reunion was great, I never laughed so hard reminiscing about ol times, so good to see everyone, and so many new "grandparents". Can't wait til next year! Thank you for the awesome website.

March 22, 2010 meeting - notes

Hi All,

Well, we met at Wente’s last night and had a great meeting. There were 10 of us (including Terry) to talk about what we want to do this summer.

The get together date is Saturday, July 24, 5:30pm - ?., at Wente’s Open Wheel Restaurant & Saloon, 18000 Chesterfield Airport Road, Chesterfield, MO. Terry will be ready for us…he’s going to call Joe to let him know what kind of deal he can give us (happy hour prices?). Everyone will be on their own, paying for their own food/drinks (like last year).

We also decided to invite alumni from the class of ’72 and ’74 to the reunion. Just by word of mouth, and on the website. I don’t think there will be very many that come from the other classes (we don’t think they even have reunions anymore), but we hear from people of other classes so thought it would be nice. Obviously, we want to get as many folks as we can from our class, so we will put it on the website, and I will send out a broadcast email (in the next few weeks) to all the email addresses I have on our “master” list, and follow up with a reminder when it gets close to the event. Terry said his place could handle everyone. He has an area outside that is covered by a tent, if we would need to use that for overflow, or if it is just a nice evening and people want to be outside.

So…now that we have a date let’s get the word out. Any ideas on other ways to reach our alumni, let us all know.

NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING: We scheduled another meeting for Monday evening, May 17 at Wente’s…we really don’t have much to plan, but we always have a good time when we get together so we might as well go over everything at that point, and enjoy the evening!

Thanks,

Connie

PS – To those who were there last night – I didn’t write a lot of notes, so if I missed something just “reply to all” and let everyone know about it. Thanks!
