Notice of 50 Year Class Reunion

The following email or snail mail went out to all class members today, February 18, 2010

Class of 60.

Looks like we are about 6 months away from "the event". So here is all you ever wanted to know about the details. Well, most all you wanted to know.

First, for those of you with failing memories (probably most everyone) the date is August 27-28-29. Friday evening through Sunday noon. (Martha, don't forget to write it down this time). The place is Crooked Creek Camp near Wayland and on Sunday from 10:30 AM on, at IMS.

The general outline of activities is:

Friday afternoon and evening: A lighter evening meal. Bring snacks for later. This is a time of informal visiting. There is no formal program.

Saturday morning: Brunch will be served at 10:00 AM. The coffee pot will be on early. More informal visiting

Saturday afternoon: Jim and Lois Bare will lead a session where personal stories are told. Of special interest is the fact that many people feel their stories are uninteresting. The word is that there is no such thing as an uninteresting story. We want to hear from everyone!

Saturday evening: We are hopeful that some pictures from the past may be located. Also, the six class members who went to Ecuador last month will share a bit. For those of you who turn blue and shiver at the thought of class prophesy and class wills, save your color turning and shivering. THERE WILL BE NONE OF THIS!

Sunday morning: A continental breakfast will be served. By 10:30 AM, we want to arrive at IMS. Our worship time will be a matter of sharing spiritual journeys and we want to remember those who have passed on since graduation. There will be no formal speaker. Please come prepared to share your journey; rough roads and smooth ones.

Sunday noon: A dinner will be catered in. Some time between our Sunday service and this meal, we hope to have the school open for tours. Many of us have not seen the interior of the school for many years. People will leave IMS on their own schedule during the afternoon.

And now for the dollars involved in this venture.

Approximately 32 people can stay in the Retreat Lodge at Crooked Creek. This means that each couple will have a private room. One floor has bath in the room and one floor has two "community baths" for men and women. the rates are:

Room with bath= $27.50 per person per night. ($55 per couple per night)

Room with community bath = $25.50 per person per night. ($51.00 per couple per night)

Camping with your own RV is $16 per person per night ($32 per night per couple)

The meal costs are as follows:

Friday evening lighter meal (soup sandwiches, etc) $7.50

Saturday morning brunch $9.00

Saturday night dinner $9.00

Sunday morning continental breakfast $4.00

Sunday noon catered dinner at IMS $10.00

It looks to me like a couple who stays in a room with a bath and is present for all meals will pay about $189.00. Singles $94.50.

PRINT OFF THIS EMAIL so you have the information and clip off the reservation form. Once you have a total of what you want to purchase, please write a check to Omer Troyer. Identify on the enclosed form what you are buying. MAIL THE RESERVATION AND CHECK TO ME, NOT CROOKED CREEK. They will only take payment once and will NOT keep a tally of people who register. I will write them one large check.

DEADLINE: The check and what you are purchasing must be mailed to me by JULY 30. A late mailed check will result in a problem as we will probably be driving to Iowa the first week in August to see family. So your check is here in Florida with no way to retrieve it.

My mailing address is PO Box 7400

North Port, FL 34290

We hope to see a great turn out for this event. Hopefully, schedules have been arranged for some time as the dates were announced a year in advance. As some of us discovered in Ecuador, it is great to get to know people you thought you knew.

My phone number is 941-429-7573
