A reunion planning meeting will be held at Tzina Zwerdling Richman's home tomorrow night, Wednesday, 3/19/08 at 6:30pm.
Several of you have volunteered to help with our weekend and now is the
time to step up to the plate. This meeting will be your opportunity to
sign on to assist with some of the work that will need to be done. Call
or email Tzina to give her an idea of how many to expect. And don't miss
the opportunity to enjoy the sunset over the James from her home while
enjoying your favorite libation.
Terry Elvington has been in touch with someone who can provide hats and polo shirts on order. Sample shown in the photo below. Perhaps a decision about offering and pricing of these items will be made at the meeting tomorrow night. If a decision is made, a preliminary order could be placed via email. The final order will be confirmed with receipt of your check.
Also Allan Willey and Bob Beasley will give an update on the
progress on the "Memory Book" project.
If you are local, can participate in the discussion and decision making
process, and/or can volunteer to assist in the final planning and
preparation of the activities, please try to attend the meeting.

Winter is good, just like Mondays. Without Winter, we cannot have a Spring; without Monday, we can not have a Friday. Without January, February would not come bringing the faintest promise of days with just the tiniest bit more light at first, but by the end of February, the sun hangs longer in the sky and that promise of longer daylight hours is no longer a promise, it's a kiss, given by God to let us know Spring will come for certain again this year. And this year will be a Special Year for those of us that graduated with the Class of 1958. We celebrate because we can, because we want to, and because it is our right. We have earned it, and it is good. If you are thinking about NOT coming, rethink it. There will be not just a reunion, but a rejoining of spirits, and friends that haven't seen one another for years. We have known each other for at least 50 years, a lot of us much longer, maybe since first grade. Where else can you go and find that kind of bond? Family is not the same. We are speaking of classmates here - important to us for a thousand and one reasons. Those that are missing....we need to find you, now !
For those of you that are not from the Class of
'58 but know of a friend or relative that does know of someone that was in the
Class of '58: please do them a favor, beg them to let us find them, lead them to
the Newsletter, do whatever you
can. We need them, need them to be complete, to be with us as we Celebrate this
wonderful passing of Fifty years. Examine your reasons for not wanting to come.
Just not interested ? Come anyway, let us change your mind, let us make you
glad you did change your mind. The majority of us will not get a chance for the
I00th. I can promise you one thing...you will once again feel the headiness of
youth, if just for that one weekend or one night, whatever you can manage, and
you will be glad you came. Even though it will be Spring, you will finally find
the warmth...without even looking.

NNHS 58 Planning Meeting 50-Year Reunion, Tzina's,
Thursday, May 3, 2007, 7:00 PM
Planning Meeting: NNHS 50-Year Reunion
Meeting day, date: Thursday, 05/03/07
Time: 7:00 PM
We have selected a 2008 weekend for our 50th. We are still struggling
with the place and format.
The weekend selected is Friday 05/16 - Sun. 05/18/08 (THAT IS 2008).
We haven't decided whether we will have organized activities on 1, 2, or 3
days. Let us know what you think.
Do you want to attend our 50th?
If so, What type of weekend you would be willing to support?
Would plan to stay in the host hotel for 1 or 2 nights? The host hotel
has not yet been selected. We think we can get the new
Marriott for about $130/night (DOUBLE). It is in the new NN City
Center and has a lot of action around it. If you haven't been in NN for a
while, I think you will be pleasantly surprised. We can also get a nice
hotel in the area for maybe $89/double if you want to hold the cost down.
1. Most expensive: Friday and Sat. night activities at a host hotel.
Room at hotel for gathering and visiting Fri. night. (probably
$100/person).
2. Expensive: Sat. night dinner/dance at host hotel. (probably
$75/person).
3. Medium expensive: Sat. night dinner/dance somewhere away from host
hotel. (probably $60/person).
4. Least expensive: Sat. night heavy finger food and music away from host
hotel. (probably $35/person).
If we only put the Sat. night activity in the package, we can still
provide suggested activities for Fri. night and perhaps Sunday
breakfast/brunch for those who want to gather. It will then be up to
individuals or informal groups to make plans.
We really need to know which of you classmates are planning to attend from
out of town and what type of activities you prefer and what would either
encourage or discourage your attendance.
We need to have your input now so we can evaluate our options at the
05/03/07 meeting.
Send me your input. Let me know if you will be at the 05/03/07 meeting.
And a little philosophy to finish:
"I held out my hands & asked where I could help & somebody
grabbed me & pointed me towards the future & said, You've got your work
cut out for you & I said, isn't there anything easier? & he laughed & said
you could dig around in the past, but it's just busywork & that made
perfect sense so I shrugged & started right where I was, along with
everyone else."
- Brian Andreas
Take care...
