[Jeremy Bingaman]

Hey Class of 96'ers!

Thanks for checking out the Reunion website and message boards. Here is your official notice that our 10 year class reunion will be taking place on May 12 and 13, 2006.

The reunion committee is still putting together the details of where, when, how much and all of that. Keep checking back here to get the latest!

Interesting...very interesting...

So....are we going to be contacted about this? I think, especially for those who don't talk to many from the class, that something could be sent out to those we have addresses for. For some, getting into town may be a big deal and they may need more notice than others.

[Jeremy Bingaman]

Yeah, we are in the process of contacting everyone. Plus, those we do reach, we are asking for help in getting ahold of others that we may not be able to reach.

Does the planning team have ideas for what they are going to be doing? My husband just had his 15 year reunion. Instead of meeting over two days they met during one. On a Saturday they had a family style picnic and had lunch catered in from Hy-Vee and reserved a shelter at a public park, I think that cost $5 per person but this way people don't need to worry about sitters and it gives everyone in the class a chance to meet each others families. Then that evening they had an adults only get together where they rented a band and had drinks and food at Sleepy Hallow. I can't remember what that cost but it was much more than the picnic, obviously. It was a really good time and keeping everything to one day simplified everything. Just an idea.

That sounds like fun.... Man I sure do miss hy-Vee

I'm there! I sent Nate off an email and he can get me the details! Great idea! Good reason to come back home.

So what is the real date here? I see the 12-13 and on here is the 5-6 of May. Should be a good time
Cheers

It's going to be the 12-13.

To answer an above question, the only part that will really be on the 12th is an informal "bar crawl." It will be very loose and totally voluntary to attend. The rest of the activities will be on Saturday. We're still working on a possible daytime activity with the "formal" stuff that night at Willow Creek.

Hey there class of '96...some of you may remember me...played in the drumline...never played varsity baseball but had a great time in JV...tried to be a decent wrestler like my brother but he always kicked my butt...basically a Spanish class geek...anyway, because I'm not sure if this site is regularly updated, I'm trying to figure out if the reunion is *for sure* the weekend of 5/12-13, or if it's really 5/5-6.

[Jeremy Bingaman]

Jason, the reunion weekend is FOR SURE 12-13. Some people have already bought plane tickets, so it can't move now!

I am working on trying to track down some old pics. If you have any, send them to [e-mail].

[jdutmers]

Hey there,
