Present: Don Johnson, Connie Dillon, Paula Roark,
Dru Harper, Sheila Underwood, Angela Sullivan, Carolyn Howard, Linda Cain,

Vice President Don Johnson chaired the meeting in the absence of President
Barabara Gillum. He asked Loretta Corley to lead the discussion on the
rough draft of the Reunion Invitation she brought to the meeting. The
invitations are projected to be mailed out around the first week of June.
Loretta estimates there will be 550 letters to mail, along with email
invitations to those who have given us email addresses.
As it stand now there will be a mixer on Friday night, both before and after the
home football game. Royse Reagan has agreed to organize the Friday night
events.
Angela Williams and Sheila Underwood will take care of ticket sales and dues
collections at the door throughout the weekend.
There will be a breakfast at the Center on Saturday morning that Carolyn Howard
will organize. She will check with Walker Ryan to see if he will cook his
chuck wagon breakfast, or if we will do an inside breakfast at the center.
The center will remain open all morning.
At 1:30 in the afternoon, activities will begin at the school building.
Connie Dillon is checking to see who we can engage as caterer. Pernell
Williams will be asked to coordinate set up and clean up at the school and
perhaps come up with some prizes to be given out. Others at the
meeting were challenged to come up with prizes.
Entertainment at the banquet will be coordinated by Linda Cain. It was
also suggested that the recipients of this year's scholarships attend the
banquet and express their appreciation.
When invitations are finalized and ready to be sent out, a number of people will
be called to help fold, stuff, attach labels and seal. Barbara Gillum will
call additional meetings as the time approaches for final planning.
Meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted by Loretta Corley, Secretary/Treasurer
