Reunion 2 months away!

The Reunion is only two months away. If you are planning to attend, you need to please send your money and/or donations fairly soon.

It takes money to put together a reunion. Checks should be payable to BHS Class of 1974.

The committee met last week and we did a mass mail out. If you haven’t already received the letter, you should be receiving it any day.

Thanks to everyone who has sent their money and donations. Many generous donations have been received so far, but we need more. We have approximately $2300 in our account and perhaps this may cover the cost of our Friday night Mixer, but it won’t defray the cost of Saturday’s dinner and DJ.

In addition, please continue sending email and/or home addresses of classmates you run into. We need to keep our database as current as possible.

Thanks again and hope to see you at the reunion.

Do you remember?
