Invitations Have Been Mailed!

The invitations were mailed May 22 (see letter below). Check this site frequently for updates on who is coming and who is interested in the golf outing.

INVITATION

Dear Classmates:
You are cordially invited to attend the 40th Year Reunion of the Caledonia High School Class of 1970 on Saturday, July 31, 2010, at the Ma-Cal Grove Country Club.

The evening will begin with a Social at 5:30 p.m. with Dinner starting at around 7:00 p.m. A Program will follow with ample time for visiting and reconnecting with classmates. The cost of attending is $20 per person. Please RSVP with payment by July 1, 2010. If you are unable to join us for Dinner, feel free to come later for the Program and group pictures, starting around 8:30 p.m.

Friday Evening there will be an informal get-together for classmates at Good Times Bar & Restaurant – look for us inside or outside on the patio! Saturday, for those interested, there’s a Golf Outing—sign up for a tee time on the RSVP form. If you are willing to help out with some of the committee’s tasks, indicate that also on the form. Something else to do: Saturday and Sunday, July 31/August 1, 9 AM-3 PM, Caledonia is hosting the Bud Marnach Memorial Youth Baseball Tourney at Veteran’s Memorial Field (by the swimming pool). This is a Family Event run by a great bunch of volunteers with all proceeds benefiting the summer youth programs. Donations welcome!

Here’s hoping we get a great turnout for this year’s reunion. One of the regrets voiced by many classmates at every reunion is that they didn’t call their friends to make sure they were coming--we miss those who aren’t there. The committee has created a blog to post updates and information on reservations as we receive them—so check it frequently: http://caledoniaclassof1970.blogspot.com/. If you don’t see your friends on the list, call them and urge them to attend. If YOU haven’t attended for one reason or another, please consider coming this year. You’ll find age and life experiences have humbled all of us but we are still one of the best classes ever to graduate from Caledonia High School. Here’s to us! Hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
The Committee: Helen, Judy, Bob & Joe
