We still have a lot of things to do for the event. (Most of these things are small but a lot of small things can add up.) The nice thing about having such an active committee is that there are a lot of volunteers to spread the tasks.

Rick Eichleberger volunteered to put together a slide show for the event. This slide show will contain photos from this website, 80's trivia, fun facts, pop culture imagary and the evenings agenda. This slide show will run the duration of the Saturday event.

Janice, Rachel and Andie are working to compile some prices on giveaways. Items like coffee mugs, tumblers, t-shirts or water bottles with our logo on it were discussed.

Rachel also is putting together the name tags for the event. the tags will be printed up possibly even with your Senior or junior year photo on it and your name, if that doesn't work out - will just have the CHS logo and your name. Name tags for your guests will be available.

Andie is donating the candle rings for our centerpieces. We are hoping to put together an 1988 themed table decoration that will provoke conversation possibly a combination of photos, pop culture and event fun facts - but... that's still has some kinks to work out. As of now, we have cloverleafs and trivia cards. We also are getting balloons for the event.

The committee agreed to create some signs the day of the event. Signs like registration table, reunion this way, ect.

A banner was donated by a friend of Rachels. the Banner will say something like Welcome Cloverleaf Class of 1988. We are trying to stay away from things that have "20 years " printed on them so if need be we can reusue it for our 25 or 30 years events.

We decided to do a 50/50 raffle. We are hoping this money will help(we have some money for this, just not alot) create and ship the memory books. Currently, we have not had a lot of people fill out the memory book questionnaire. We are hoping to get everyone to fill out the questionnaire during the reunion events. this will allow more people to be involved. It will also allow us to gather photos from the events and add them to the book. We thought this would be nicer than making a skimpy book for the few that have answered the questions since, more people will be included in it that way. people that could not make it to the event will be able to purchase the memory book via our website.

We are hoping to keep the website up at least until the next reunion.

Everyone who attends the Saturday night event will receive a ticket for the Door prize raffle, they will also be able to buy more tickets if they'd like to increase their chances at winning. As of now, we have a healthy amount of prizes donated by our classmates.

We still need to work out a few things to keep everyone entertained during the events like games or something. Chris had a few ideas last meeting but she could not make it to this one.

Stacey will work out a shift schedule for the registration table and see if we need other volunteers for the day of event.

Everyone agreed to help with take down after the event.

We were hoping that Bill Baker will Emcee the Saturday night event.

Coach Lake volunteered to be the guide for the High School tour.

I think that is it!

Next meetings will be June 22nd 3-5, we will be calling people during this meeting. July 20th will be our final meeting before the reunion.

Thanks everyone!

We are shooting for 158 people to attend the banquet, that's 79 classmates with dates. We believe this is do-able. As of now, we have 46 people paid for and a few more have RSVP'd (but we're still waiting on their checks.)

Brian Stephens suggested inviting some high school teachers to the event. The idea was well received and he is looking into contacting a few of them.

Chris (Filak) Ellinger agreed to supply a cake for the banquet event.

We visited the patio at the Galaxy Sportsbar, it was nice (but a little fancy) and we were told it gets very crowded in the summer. The group then moved on to the Wadsworth Bowling Alley. We immediately decided this was a better place. It is larger and has a very casual vibe. We dug it. Chris Filak Ellinger is going to have the bowling alley management stock up the bar for our event and reserve a few bowling lanes for our group. We are also looking into getting a karaoke set-up there. Other ideas tossed about included a Guitar Hero Rock of 80's set up or a Dj with an 80's set. Whatever ends up going down, we are sure it will be lot's of fun.

A few of us are planning on getting together next week sometime to stuff envelopes for our Formal Invites. These need to go out in May. Cindy is going to customize and order the invites this week. Scott Thomas has donated the postage. Thanks Scott.

Stacey reported that only 7 outreach letters have been returned undeliverable and all but 2 were corrected and remailed. The budget was discussed, it is tight - but it should work. We have already received some payments and donations from classmates. Thanks! Rachel Machar (Ailiff) volunteered to collect door prizes. Rick Eichelberger and Cindy Zawadzki (Gavlak) will work on the memory book. Rick will also put together a slideshow for the reunion dinner. Chris (Filak) suggested that we move the Friday Night function to the Bowling Alley. She was concerned about space at the Galaxy Bar. Chris volunteered to coordinate the Friday Night Event. Andie has been working on decorations and has gathered some resources for banner and other supplies. Janice has received a lot of RSVPs for the Sunday Family event. She has started putting together activities for the attendees which so far include: hulla-hoop for the kiddies and cornhole games for the adults. Fun! Brian Stephens contacted the High School about the tour. The administration said they would have the doors open for us but we will need to pay a fee of $54. Brian graciously decided to donate the fee and the HS tour is pretty much finalized. We decided to send out a reminder postcard in mid June to everyone and the final invite in May but only to those who have not yet responded to the outreach letter or website. The committee looked over the website and discussed some of the features. We also started to discuss some "ice breakers' and games for the events to insure everyone mingles and has a good time.

Our next meeting is 4/27 at 3:30 at the galaxy in Wadsworth. We will meet with a representative who will take us to view the space, discuss table decorations and finalize the menu options with us. Afterwards, we will be visiting area bars including the galaxy and the bowling alley to consider all of our options for the Friday Night Event. All are welcome to attend
