Latest News on May Reunion

Class president Woody Reedy Tanner reports that to date (March 7) 80 people have confirmed via payment that they will be at the May class reunion.

In case some of you have forgotten who to make the check out to, here are the details:

Up to March 15: a check for $70, made out to NEHI 58 Reunion. Mail it to Woody Reed Tanner, 3325 Sailview Drive, Midlothian, VA 23112. If you have other questions for Woody, you can phone him at 804-639-2443. (Reunion Tickets at the door will cost you $85.)

More news: Because you expressed so much interest in a bus tour of St. Petersburg, Woody has reserved a bus (36 people maximum) for a tour that will start at the Hampton Inn on Beach Drive at 9 am on Thursday, May 15, and end up at 1 pm with a lunch. The itinerary will be specially designed for those of you who haven't been in the old home town in a number of years.

Our reunion Information Room, located in the Hampton Inn, will let you pre-register, receive your official name tag, a gift bag of souvenir goodies, and check in on whether your friends have hit town or not. The Information Room will be open from 2 pm to 5 pm on Wednesday, May 14 and from 2 pm to 5 pm on Thursday, May 15. When you stop by to check in, you can help yourself to coffee, sodas, and pastries.

Girls Night Out, the Pot Luck dinner, and the picnic are all events that a number of you indicated interest in, but the details for these events are being handled by people other than Woody. If you are one of those coordinators, send details to patful01@msn.com so that we can publicize the events in the blog.

At the May 15 Reunion dinner/dance at the Coliseum, Woody will be the emcee for the program. Bucky Merritt will be in charge of a special memorial recognition for our deceased classmates.

Woody says about six people have signed up for a golf outing on Friday, May 16. Larry Britner is in charge of details for a breakfast on Sunday, May 18.
