We will be in the upstairs room and the class of ’41
will be downstairs.

a REALLY great time. However, if you cannot attend PLEASE send a letter or email telling what
you are doing now - and enclose a recent photo.

Reunion Details
Our class also has a Yahoo Group. Since it is private and unlisted you need an invitation to join.
Email denny65ghs@hotmail.com for more information.
===========================================================================
Snacks and Desserts – If you want to bring snacks or desserts to have after the catered dinner that is fine.
Plates, napkins, spoons and forks will be provided.
===========================================================================
Drinks – We cannot bring pop, beer or other drinks to the VFW (except the ice tea provided with dinner).
A bartender will be there from
If you have a particular kind of beer, pop, bottled water or wine cooler that you like, list it on the back of the
return form and the bartender will TRY to get it.
I think there is a coffee maker at the VFW that we can use. If someone who has to have coffee would volunteer
to bring it and make it please indicate that on the back of the Return Form.
===========================================================================
CD Player – It was decided at the last reunion not to have a band or DJ this time. However, many people still
want to dance or have background music. If you have a small CD player that you are willing to bring indicate it
on the back of the Return Form. Write the approximate size and how many CD’s it holds. I have a CD player
but it is kind of big and my little car is going to be pretty full.
===========================================================================
The Picnic – Because of space limitations and other reason the Picnic is the only reunion activity that is open
to anyone other than class members and their S/O (significant other). * see note at bottom.
Please use the enclosed picnic invitation to pass on to non-class members.
The picnic invitation says that the event will be canceled
in case of really bad weather.
However, class members and their S/O are welcome to come to the VFW and help get ready for the reunion –
or just talk. We can have an indoor
picnic there or go out for lunch.
===========================================================================
Lodging – If you need a place to stay there are currently only two motels in Garnett that I know of.
(There are probably several in Ottawa or Iola.)
Sherwood Inn – 604 N. Maple Street (Hwy 59) 785-448-6816
Snuggle Inn – 235 N. Maple Street (Hwy 59) 785-448-5425
===========================================================================
Attire – For those who wanted to know what to wear, I suggest you wear whatever you enjoy wearing –
whether casual, dressy or clothes from the 50’s or 60’s. I plan to wear: Friday night – very casual or 50’s;
Saturday picnic – casual; Saturday night – dressy casual; Sunday and Monday – casual dressy
===========================================================================
Displays – It would be nice to have a display of old photos and memorabilia like we have had at past reunions.
Unfortunately, I don't have hardly anything. If anyone who displayed something at past reunions is willing to
bring it please list it on the back
of the return form.
===========================================================================
*(Note: if you are traveling with other family members and staying in a motel let me know and we will arrange
for the others to attend some of
the reunion activities other than just the picnic.)
