NEW BUSINESS:
The Rising Sun Graduate Newsletter:
On March 27th, members of the committee and wonderful volunteers got together to fold newsletters and stuff 1,350 envelopes.
Thank You to everyone for showing up to complete the mailing this year and a special "THANK YOU" to Tony Jones (Class of 1974) for getting the newsletters printed for us this year.
Tony and his wife, Sandy, could not join us for the banquet this year, but we appreciate their support.
We only received 58 envelopes back from the U.S. Postal Service with bad addresses – significantly less than usual.
SPECIAL THANKS to Dawn Galloway and the staff at Your Personal Chef for helping to coordinate table setups required to seat everyone. Kim (Johnson) had to redo the setup at least 4 times to accommodate the constantly changing number of attendees.
NOTE: When you send in your reservation – Kim seats you with the first name listed on the reservation form – if you wish to sit with another class or individual, please note this information on the form next year to minimize confusion.
