Eric pointed out to me there is a BYU football game that night and suggested some would probably be getting tickets to go. He suggested we start at 4 pm. I'm okay with that. How do the rest of you feel? Does it change any commitments? Still talking about whether or not to cater it. Costs might be closer to $25 per to include delivery and set up. How do you feel about that? Pot Luck is still an option.

We are ok with the time change. At $25 the potluck is looking better. So bring you own meat, drink and something to share. 

Blair Packard

Cindy and I get into town late morning that day, so the earlier start time at 4:00 pm works for us. Make it a tailgate party!

Eric Bird

Good morning I'm guessing that probably potluck might be the best alternative to the backyard tailgate party also, I have a teatime at Hobble Creek Golf Course for three additional golfers on Thursday, August 17 at 8:30 in the morning if there's anyone out there that would like to come golf with me, Richard, Jay, and a couple other guys Let me know🏌️‍♂️🏌🏼‍♀️🏌🏻⛳️ 

Kate Robertson (Schoening)

Hello Everyone!

I will not be able to make the September 2nd tailgate party (Boo).  I'll be in Idaho attending a grandaughters wedding shower.  It's been a crazy busy summer!  I hope everyone is enjoying the warm days and staying healthy and happy!

Daryl Tucker

Congratulations on the granddaughter's wedding, Kate! Sorry you can't be there on the 2nd, but we'll plan more get-togethers. Let's go with the pot luck/tailgater! I'll bring some hot dogs (beef - the good kind. Can we use your grill, Eric?) and some buns and also some paper plates. What can you others bring? Burgers and buns? Chips? Drinks? Sides? Desserts? Throw in some plastic tableware, cups and napkins along with your food and we'll have a great party!

David Lynn

Count me there Eric.

I'll bring whatever you might think you need, except a bus.

Daryl Tucker

Eric Bird and Richard Hjorth have generously offered to provide pulled pork from Dave Cope's Springville Meat Company. The rest of us can bring the buns, chips, drinks and dessert. Eric also says he has plates, and the rest of the paper goods. I'll be glad to bring a couple dozen buns. Maybe the rest of you can volunteer what you will bring so we cover the bases for a great time on the 2nd of September at 4:00!

Douglas Wheeler

I'm in for melons if that's okay 

Carl Haymond

Sound like a great time is on tap!

I will bring my Texas/Dutch Oven smoked baked beans.

See y'all on the 2nd!

Mart E. (Gardner)

Put us down for a dessert. We will bring a strawberry and cream dessert 

David Lynn

I'll bring soda but you need to request flavors unless Diet Dr. Pepper is your choice.

Stephen Harder

I won't be able to make it to this party this time because I will be at the airport to pick up my Grandson, Jaxon Smith, He will finish his mission in North Carolina. We have some catching up to do. Have Fun,stay safe my friends.

Eric Bird

Friendly reminder, this saturday September 2nd at 4:00 pm at Eric Birds home, 1266 North 700 West in Mapleton, There is going to be a classmate gathering. Pulled pork will be provided by Richard. Daryl is binging buns, Carl has baked beans, Dave has the brew, diet Dr. Pepper covered, Doug has melons, Mart has a dessert, Eric has plates, plastic ware, ice and water and tomatos and cucumbers, and salsa.  Somebody could bring chips and maybe another dessert and any kind of potluck,and a few more people. Looking forward to seeing Blair and Cindy, and as always spouses are welcome.

Driving directions. While driving south from Springville to Mapleton on highway 89  turn left at the top of the incline on to 1200 north, just before the Holiday gas station. Drive east to 700 west and turn left, 2nd house on the east side of road.  You may park in the driveway.  That has always bugged me why do we park on driveways and drive on parkways?  Let me know if I missed anything.  Go Cougs

David Lynn

I'll bring some diet Mt. Dew for Ken, water, diet Coke and any other request.

We'll think of you Steve. Bring him with you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENNY.

Mart E. (Gardner)

We are sorry to back out at this late date, but family needs have pushed there way in. You all have a fun time and we catch you all next time. 

Jan Allred (Carter)

Jan and Jill are coming. We will bring a dessert and chips. I think Kathie and Craig are coming  too.

Our classmate, Steven Barker, recently passed away. I've added his name and obituary to the In Memory section of this website.  RIP Steve.

UTawna Johnson (Witney)

I'm so sorry to hear about Steve Barker passing away. Steve was such a good guy ... the quiet one who got it done in his quiet way. RIP Steve. ♥♥

Daryl Tucker

I've been informed by Richard Hjorth that Dan Haymond's wife passed away in November and there will be a graveside service on Saturday (tomorrow the 6th of January) at 11:00 am in the Springville Historic Cemetery. That's the one on 4th South about 200 West. Our thoughts are with Dan and his family.

Jill Tuttle reported the link to Cindy Packard's website may have been hacked. Anybody else have that happen when they clicked on it?

Note: I have copied and pasted the article on Cindy Packard that introduced her on the Guiding Growth podcast she participated in. If you want to listen to the whole podcast you can do a Google search for it online...

Cindy Packard and her husband Blair are the founders of Care for Life, an NGO in Africa that, for the past 24 years, has seen unprecedented success in alleviating suffering, promoting self-reliance, and instilling hope for those families and villages living in extreme poverty.

Cindy helped research and create a unique program using local people to offer comprehensive training and mentoring in health and hygiene, sanitation, food security, home improvement, income generation, literacy, psycho-social well-being, and community participation.

Since its beginning, Care for Life has helped over 100,000 people, and according to Cindy, they are just getting started to help the 1 billion people still living in desperate poverty. “We don’t give handouts or create dependency – we share knowledge and create sustainable self-reliance. And we have the data to prove it.”

• Care for Life was chosen as one of the ten “Best Practices in Global Health” for 2010 by the US State Department.

• Cindy presented “The Family Preservation Program: Empowering Communities” at the UN in Geneva, Switzerland, in 2013.

• Care for Life started in Mozambique, Africa, and is currently focused on sharing The Family Preservation Program with other organizations working to help those in extreme poverty.

Cindy has served 24 years on the Care for Life Board and is an advisor. She has been a Licensed Midwife in private practice in Arizona for 45 years.
