Another Reunion

I sent an e mail already to those classmates that have registered their e mail address with me. This is for the rest and also for yáll in case you erased that e mail........ Celebrating the 100th graduating class from Ankeny High School has begun. The first event is Homecoming, Friday, September 21, 2012. There will be a pregame tailgate with a Hy Vee catered meal, from 5 to 7 pm at Ankeny High School. I was advised of a new location, on the street between the stadium and the school, not at the softball field. There will AHS souvenirs for sale, including a tee shirt and the alumni plastic glass with screw top and straw. Next, mark your calendar, it is official. Saturday, July 13, 2013......this will be the FOUR Class Reunion at the Big Red Shed where this past summer's reunion was held. Since the 4 classes, 64-65-66-67 were the last four year high school, from Neveln High School......it is a great time for a BIG party. The committee has had one meeting so far. We would like to have some volunteers to help out over the winter and next summer. I don't know how many meetings will be held over the winter, but since I will not be in Iowa, I need someone to step up and be our class representative. The next meeting is Wednesday, October 10, 7 pm at the Clipper. Come on up to the meeting and bring some ideas.......ooh rah ooh rah........
