Hello Classmates, Hope this finds everyone well! I am sending, via an attachment, the Minutes of the last Class Planning Group Meeting - Conference. As with the recent Meetings, there is too much info to cover here. The Scholarship Program is getting feedback from the Class at large. A number of Classmates have sent their assessments. I will make sure the info gets to the interviewers prior to the interviews. In fact, there is a "Special Meeting" of the Planning Group to specifically discuss the Scholarship Application info. That Meeting - Conference will be Tuesday, May 12, 8 PM. Runyan will host the Skype. Please sit in and voice your thoughts. Regarding the Homecoming and Class 60th Birthdays Party, the Planning is really getting enthusiastic. Pregame Meet and Greet, Jump out of "float" / trailer at the game / possibly some singing / maybe a B-B Q / Class sweatshirts / SAturday activity / seated dinner / Cake and Music / '67 Classetera! Also, some good and some not-so-good news "For the Good of the Class". Please check out the attachment for details and support your CLassmates. Next Class Planning Meeting is May 19 (3rd Tuesday) - 8 PM start, Runyan will host the Skype. Best wishes for a very lovely Mother's Day! Wolverine-On! T

The program committee would like to weigh the opinion of the Class as a whole regarding the selection of award recipients. To facilitate the assembly of the Class' input I will forward the nine applications to you. They will come as forwarded through me from Ken Runyan. Ken picked them up directly from the School. Please, review the applications and rate in priority the top three as you feel should receive a scholarship award. Please, then feedback your ranking, by student name, to me. The Class Planning Group will hold a Special Meeting on Tuesday May 12th at 8 PM to discuss your feedback. (Every Classmate is urged to attend the Special Meeting.
