What Are You Doing On June 28th at 6:30pm?
Hopefully Local Fulton area '71 alumni (and their spouces) will join the Reunion Committee at Bek’s Restaurant (on Court Street in Fulton) at 6:30pm on June 28th. (Each person will be responsible for their own meal /snack or bar tab.) Instead of giving busy people two possible options (either the 22 or the 28th) to meet with the reunion committee we decided only one meeting, on the 28th, will be needed. Those unable to attend this informational meeting may contact me directly for the information. We hope to have fun as we share ideas and:
• reconnect with classmates and their families and strengthen relationships.
• promote interest among folks who have not attended reunions in the past so they feel they have a voice.
• Get people’s contact information updated and help find lost folks.
• discuss a definite date without being influenced by outside speakers at this time. [I had planned to talk in general about the fine website and options Alumni Association offered and as I mentioned at our last meeting I wanted to talk to Nikki if the date was chosen to coincide with the Alumni Weekend (AW)].
• Discuss having an autobiography type of memory book and encourage interest in getting involved (which will be a big project that I will need everyone’s help).
• Find out what activities or committees are desired and start putting people in place to get organized and poised for action.
To help us plan our meeting would you please either e-mail me (Carolyn Crews H) at 2hushai@gmail.com or call me at 573-289-8517 to help Bek's plan for our group.

The 6/9/10 Reunion Committee Meeting Review
Thanks to Dave D., Kent H., Rita A. our meeting was very productive. We were sorry Linda H. couldn’t be with us this time. Two Fulton information Meetings, at Beks Restaurant are being planned so there will be lots of time to add thoughts and input.
Setting the Date for the Reunion:
To Linda and those in KC who worked with us to nail down the Fulton Street Fair weekend as our reunion date: I want to thank you for your input but I’m afraid that date won’t work. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, the date for the FSF is always set to happen on Father’s Day weekend and we wanting to avoid dates attached to family holidays. SO… the second date we discussed early on, to have it during the FHS Homecoming in the Fall, has now become the date of choice. We will confirm this as the official date soon and hopefully get the ball rolling to organize some fun activities. If you have any comments or thoughts about that date, please contact me either through this blog, or by personal Email.
We also will be checking with FHS Alumni Associations date to see if they have activities we might want to join in on so we are not reinventing the wheel and competing with places to meet, etc…
For those who read this blog but do not make comments. Please break your silence and let your thoughts be known. Either email me or click the comment word at the bottom of this post. Then, just type in your comment in the comment box, confirm your google account (if you have one that pops up as your google identification) or register for a free google account. Lastly, type in the funny security word in their security box, push the "post" bar near the bottom and your comment should be posted. We always love to hear from you.
The Next Step will be have a couple possible information meetings with Fulton folks to get some interest and organization started. Let us know what you think.
