Vote for the Reunion Weekend

[Brian Gongol]

Go vote for the weekends you CAN ATTEND a reunion next summer. We'll try to go with the weekend with the most votes, though of course it all depends on what facilities are available. The sooner we get started, the sooner we'll be able to reserve a decent place.

If you aren't on the Yahoo Group list, get signed up pronto at groups.yahoo.com/group/valley1997/ so you receive all of the announcements. I have to use the Yahoo list so I don't have to fight spam filters and everything when sending out these messages to 500 people at a time.
