Awesome Classmates,
I hope everyone is pleased with and enjoying the coming of Spring. I am attaching Minutes of the last Class Planning Group Meeting - Conference and the Agenda for the next. Next Conference is via computers - Skype. It will be hosted by Denise Lewis. Please hook up with her if you need to link in your Skype.
The Planning Group is moving strongly toward two Get-Togethers for this year. One is planned as an "all WHS Alumni Roundup Picnic" on July 3rd (Saturday). The second is Class of '67 - Focussed on Homecoming weekend - date not yet set by the School but around mid October. The interest in both get-togethers seems to be huge. We have Richard Skinner and Ellen Derego-Brown co-Chairing the Homecoming and Derego-Brown and Olenik co-Chairing the Picnic. Both committees need MORE VOLUNTEERS. Classmates in and around the Mother School are specially needed. PLEASE contact Skinner, Derego-Brown, or Olenik is you can help out. YOU ARE NEEDED!!! On another note, I still luvya all and look forward to seeing uze at D 'nic and 'coming. Best wishes for a great Spring and "Wolverine-On!"
