Mora:  Ron Benich and Mike Varni attended the meeting. We’re hoping that Mora will participate with memorabilia and other items.

 

Website:  We have received, and continue to receive, donations for the web site.  As such, we purchased a 5-year contract for the web site to continue.  Hats off to Bill Probert who has given an enormous amount of his time maintaining the web site and keeping it fresh and interesting. 

 

Class Scholarship:  A subcommittee of Amy Newell, Jim Lopes and other volunteers was formed to explore and define this idea.  They will report back to the committee at the next meeting.

 

Memorabilia:   A committee of Barbara Serfin, The DePuys, Janelle Araldo Secondo,  Karen Kelley and others will develop a plan to display memorabilia we have or will receive.  Poster boards have been suggested.  We will have the memorabilia on display both Friday and Saturday nights.  The committee will report on their progress at the next meeting.

 

Name Tags – Nancy Depuy showed a sample of nametags she had made.  They are very well done.  We’d like Nancy to make the nametags for the reunion.
