Presque Isle Class of 79 Reunion Update - A meet up the night before the class reunion at the Fish and Game Club

From Andy Flewelling

Folks,
I’ve reserved the Presque Isle Fish and Game Club for a informal gathering Friday night starting at 6pm (possibly earlier) and ending sometime Saturday morning. If you are heading over to see Diane Barker McClellan and Tom Acousti at the NHSC you are welcome to come over afterward – or before, if the party ends up starting earlier. Please see link below for directions, etc.

All classmates, spouses, Sugar-Daddy’s/Momma’s, significant others, or personal nursing assistants are welcome. It is BYOB. It is not required that you bring something edible to share but it would be welcomed if you did. Soft drinks, paper plates, napkins, F/K/S, drink cups, etc. will be there. We’ll have music (not an elaborate sound system – Bose Wave with line-in for iPod or Blackberry). Token door prizes may be awarded about every hour based on random drawing, bribes or both. I’ll have a Bocce ball set and possibly other games.

You will be responsible for any resulting medical attention required unless other of our classmates in the medical profession attend and are willing to help you. If it gets really late and dark and things get really out of hand, maybe we’ll play blind-folded.

Though the club has been reserved for awhile, the particulars are coming together at the last minute. I’m not going to over-engineer this (unusual for me). I look forward to seeing you all and others that are not on the list (all of you have been blind-copied). Please spread the word to others in the class. And, while RSVPs certainly aren’t required, I’d appreciate hearing back from you one way or another (attend or not) simply to know that I made contact.

Otherwise, I’ll assume the email got lost somewhere – bad address or otherwise – and attempt to track you down by phone (maybe).

See you soon. Travel safely.

PIHS 30th Class Reunion - Class of 79 is in one month. Man, it went fast and suddenly school’s out, prom for another year is done and now it’s time to celebrate the Class of 1979 here in Presque Isle July 11, 2009.

Did you get a mailing? Did you update your mailing address? Have you emailed me or another member of the reunion planning committee to let us know you are coming? The committee has done two mailings and payments are due by June 19th.

I got this update from Kevin Freeman -

“About two dozen classmates have sent payments in so far, please don’t forget to mail in ahead of time so we can plan our food accordingly.

Next reunion planning meeting is Tuesday June 16 at 7pm Northeastland Hotel. See you there!

Kevin”

Off to fill out my own information sheet and get mine in the mail - it would be embarrassing if even I forgot!

Missing Classmates - Okay, you know where you are but We are still looking for you!

The following classmates from the Class of 79 still need to have their address and phone number updated with the class reunion committee.  Even if you can’t make it back to Presque Isle for the Class Reunion - we would love to know where you are and how you are doing!  Email me and I’ll send it on to Jill.

PIHS Class of 1979 Reunion Committee Meeting

1/22/2009

Classmates Attending: Johnny and Sue Johnston, Todd Hedrich and Nancy Chabot

Todd and Johnny gave the committee a breakdown of choices for a family style served dinner. We have great options to choose from. The cost is approximate and will wait to announce this until the price is firm. Todd and Johnny also informed the committee that we will have access to the both the upstairs dining room and the downstairs dining room. One will be for dinner and the other for ‘the party’.

Member’s mailing list was divided between Johnny, Todd and Nancy. Our task is to call phone numbers listed from 20th reunion, verify mailing, phone and email information with classmate that answers, if no contact is made we will Google classmate and then report our findings and the next meeting.

The committee discussed requesting classmates to complete the “25 Random Things About Me” that is circulating on Facebook and adding it to our printed book of classmate’s info for 2009.

Sue will be checking in the High School Graphics Arts department to see if they can help us put the book together. It was also suggested that if classmates wanted, they could put together a foam board to bring to the reunion with pictures and updates of their lives and families. This would be a great way for everyone to fill fellow classmates in on their lives and families. It was also agreed that it would be nice to have name tags with pictures again at this reunion.

We are still working on getting the reunion minutes posted on the www.pihs79.com website. Classmates continue to ‘meet’ on Facebook, even one who don’t know what Facebook is!

In case anyone is wondering about a Friday night gathering at the PI Snowmobile Club, I am sad to report that it burnt to the ground recently.

We have not had anyone from the entertainment committee show up at the last two meetings. Johnny has committed to call Kelley and check in.

Next meeting will be held Thursday, February 19th at 6pm at the Northeastland.

Presque Isle High School Class Reunion - Class of ‘79 To keep the local, die hard reunion planners making all the decisions… I thought of something we could all do while we are waiting for the results of our meeting this week - to know the time and place of our class reunion.  I thought we could do something about the music.  With the DJ and slideshow, - we can all have something to say about songs you want played at our class reunion.  Go ahead - post a list, your top 5, 10, whatever songs you think would make our class reunion cool, very 1979 - .  We all have different memories and songs that take us back there - dish them out here and I will compile a list of songs from the class to be pulled together for the reunion party.

Don’t be shy (especially Phil and Wayne)!

Presque Isle Maine - It’s time to plan our 30th Class Reunion.  Tonight’s first meeting at the Northeastland Hotel brought a great mix of nine Presque Isle High School classmates from the class of 79 together to reconnect and vote on pulling together a class reunion during the summer of 2009.  Going to be in Presque Isle November 18th?  Plan on stopping by our next meeting at 6:30 at the Northeastland Hotel on Tuesday November 18th.  Know someone that went to Presque Isle High School - graduated with us… went to school with us?  Spread the word that we want to make sure we find all our Presque Isle High School classmates in time for the class reunion.

To be on the mailing list - for all the PIHS reunion news for the class of 1979 - email me and I’ll make sure you are in the loop by getting your name on the mailing list.

In the county or across the country - if you stop by… leave a comment because we would all like to know where you are, what you’re doing and what you’d like to do for our class reunion.   Go ahead and subscribe to the feed as we will be posting proposed reunion plans, fundraisers, classmate news and more!

What would you like to see up here? Let us know! If you have your own blog, website, business with a link - send me your link and I will add you to the blogroll. Great way to share with the class where you are and what you are doing!

Pictures coming soon…
