Definitely/Maybe

Hello all,
 
So many of you have been asking about who is coming to the reunion that I thought I would post a "definitely/maybe" list and get you all to verify that before we move it to the ATTENDEES tab on the website.  Keeping in mind that there have been five of us making calls and exchanging emails with classmates, running into people at the polls, messaging on Facebook and fielding responses via our gmail account, please understand that there are bound to be errors and some of this information is months old at this point.  Your name may be missing or may be listed and shouldn't be.  If we can get this list corrected, then we'll have a more accurate one to post next week.  And then, of course, the "set in stone" list will come with responses and payment after invitations are sent through the mail.
 
So please take a look at the list below.  If you have a correction to make, please do so via our gmail account, StMarysClassof66@gmail.com  or to my personal email which is ellcash@comcast.net.  Thanks for your help!  Ellen

Progress Report and a Request

Hello Everyone,
 
We are several months into reunion planning at this point and all is going well.
 
Progress Report
 
Thanks to those who responded to our request to help find missing classmates, we were able to add quite a few people to our contact list. The following are still among the missing:  Marion Dooley, Patricia Hassey (who is in the middle east but if anyone has an address or email for her we could keep her in the loop), Rose Ann Hassey, Joanne Marcello, Rosemary Sheehy, Dorothy White and Linda Yandow.
 
By now you have probably received the postcard that was mailed to you with information about both Central and St. Mary's events.  If you have not received a postcard, let me know and I will send one out to you.  There may be some that are returned because of incorrect addresses and we will post those as they come in.  Hopefully one of you will have their correct contact information.
 
At this time, there are 58 who are definitely planning to attend and another 8 who are unsure but who are going to try to come.  We are hoping that the postcard will encourage others who had not heard about the reunion to be in touch to let us know if they are planning to join us.  There are about 45 classmates for whom we have no email address so we are counting on postcards to get a response from them.  Considering that we are still several months away from our luncheon date, we are delighted with the response so far.  
 
Keep in mind that you will receive an invitation in the mail around the end of March or beginning of April listing all of the events and asking for your payment and number of people in your party.  You will be able to make payment either online through Central's website or with a check payment through the mail.   Right now we are just gathering approximate numbers of those interested so we have a general idea of how many will be attending.
 
Sometime in the next week or so, we will post a list of those who plan to attend.  It will be on the Attendees tab on the website. 
 
One person commented that the $75 price for the luncheon seemed quite high. When we added up all the expenses incurred in putting the luncheon together, not the least of which is the room and other fees at the Andover Country Club, we settled on that amount.  We think you will look back at the end of the day and decide that those four hours were well worth the money spent.
 
A Request
 
Please consider posting some information about yourself on the Message Board tab on our website: http://www.stmarysclassof66.com/.  Tell us anything that you would like to share about your life over the past 50 years since you left St. Mary's.  That way we will have a snapshot of classmates before we actually see each other, and it will be a great conversation starter once we meet.  Your message can be long or short and include whatever information you would like to share.  Many of you have been in touch with each other through our Facebook page (link on the website), but not everyone is on Facebook so I am encouraging you to use the Message Board as well.
 
Feel free to email us: StMarysClassof66@gmail.com with questions or suggestions.
 
Thanks!
 
Ellen
