Hello Classmates and Friends!
It's been a while and I hope this finds all of you happy and healthy! This may end up a long email, but please read to the end - it contains lots of important information.
It's that time again....yes, the next class reunion will notch another 5 years in our belts. I don't like to think of us getting older, just a little bit better and wiser. Our class reunions have always been a fun time to gather and catch up on our lives, but the next one is going to be EPIC! 45 years since we walked across that stage and said good-bye to the 'ole Red and Blue. WHAT! 45 years!! We've lost many classmates in the last 5 years and so let's all spread the word and get everyone to participate in the Class of 1969 45th Reunion. Below are the important dates to mark on your calendar and start making plans to attend:
Friday, June 13 - Afternoon/evening of frivolity and creativity (see notes below)
Saturday, June 14 - Morning - Art City Days Parade - we are going to "rock" that town!
Saturday, June 14 - Evening dinner and celebration of the class of 1969!
I'm serious everyone, you won't want to miss out on any of this - they are going to be talking about the Class of 1969 for a very long time. Be part of this moment in time and make Springville history!!
If you haven't been keeping in touch via the class websites message forum, now is the time to start and tell everyone you know from our class to get on and participate. It's also important for everyone to check your profile and make sure your physical address and email address is updated. Take time to do this today - our goal is to reach everyone and this website is the best way to accomplish that goal, it's safe and secure and we can keep you informed of what is going on with the class and the upcoming reunion - TELL EVERYONE!
So, here are some details of the events we're planning for the reunion - remember, I said "EPIC"
David Lynn is the Chairperson for the 2014 reunion - he was conveniently given this opportunity by Eric Bird when he had stepped out of the room at our last reunion and could not respond in time to turn the job down........however, he has taken his responsibility to great lengths and is compelled to make this "one for the record books." If you have heard the rumors , it's all true......he bought a bus, a genuine, bonofide school bus, just for this event. He wants to make this a full on class participation project and let Springville know that 1969 was and continues to be the best class to graduate Springville High School.
Friday - We are all going to get together and paint the bus, yes, you heard right.....paint the bus. Linda Schardine has started some great designs that really showcase the era in which we lived and played. However, we are not limited....it's a big bus with lots of room. You won't want to miss this night - come dressed to get dirty and laugh till you cry. There will be food and more fun than you can stand!
Saturday - We'll take the bus to the street for the Art City Days Parade - plan to ride in the bus, there's plenty of room. No other class will be able to touch our creativity - ever!
Saturday Night - We'll have a nice celebratory dinner to reminisce and catch up.
Of course.....more details will follow as we get everything confirmed and planned. David welcomes anyone that wants to be part of the committee or any ideas you may have to get everyone involved. SAVE THESE DATES and start making your plans to attend. Watch the message forum on the class website for information and email David or myself through the class website with questions or ideas.
I can't wait! Rock On - Class of '69!
