31 January 2010: Newsletter and contact list

2:42 pm in People, Present by DonnaD

Hello Everyone,

I have decided to write a monthly newsletter leading up to the reunion just to let you know you have not been forgotten and let you know ways that you may be able to help.

Class photos!!!! It is becoming apparent that we may need to put your photo on your name tag on the night just to give some of us a gentle reminder as to who they are talking with!!!!!. I have seen this done already on school name tags at a 40th reunion and it worked a treat. Secondly we plan a slide show on the night. Already we have formal photos, Camp Shannon photos as well as just a few class photos but we need more. Below is a list of photos we have:

  • 1970 8.9
  • 1971 9A2 9B1
  • 1972 10A2 10A4 10B1
  • 1973 11A 11C 11F 11D
  • 1974 12.3

As you can see we only have one year 12 photograph so please search through your old photos for more party, formal and class photos. Could you please put names to the photo as this helps refresh the memory. Just scan them and email them to me and I will pass them onto to our Reunion Photo Department headed by Tony Smith and John Olive. Tony is in charge of IT/Reunion presentation and John is in charge of putting all our photos onto nametags so there are no embarrassing moments at the reunion.

We have had a very successful month in finding people and I have attached a list of who we have found, those I am pretty sure of their details but they are yet to make contact. Some we just know snippets about and unfortunately the last column is still pretty full as we have no idea where they are. Please have a look and shoot me an email with any information or recollection or gossip because we slowly built up enough information to CSI style to track them down!!!

Next newsletter I will share with you a great Reunion article I read.

Basically it is about “as we start to worry about appearance and trying to impress each other at the reunion, remember that it will be a complete waste of time because you will never impress any person who knew you as a teenager!”

So with that in mind I have decided that the 20kgs are staying put and so is the grey hair.

Have a great February everyone!

Regards

Donna

Reunion newsletter

10:59 pm in Present by PeterMac

Here’s the reunion newsletter Donna sent me, titled Newsletter 1 for 2010:

Hi Everyone

Hope you all had the Xmas and New Year you had hoped for.

We had a major breakthrough before Xmas as John Eggleton had kept a Graduation Program so I believe that the attached list is all the seniors of 74 (thanks to Doug Wait for sending the list on) and with the help of Graham Payne, all the staff.

I have highlighted in green all the people that we definitely know how to contact and who have made contact. Could you please look at the list and just shoot me an email on any snippets on the new names added because even to look up the white pages you need a suburb at least . I don’t mind how many emails you send with thoughts on where people live, work or who they married because it has proved very successful in cross referencing peoples memories.

The people in bold did not appear on the graduation list so maybe some of them did not complete year 12 but that of course does not mean they are not welcome at the reunion.

How does Saturday 18th or Saturday 25th September sound for possible reunion dates. Let me know your preference.


Looking forward to seeing you

Looking at the Friends Reunited page, it looks like Saturday 18 September has been chosen.
