I hope the others are having as much fun with this as I am! April 27th thirteen of us got together to try and lock in a venue and date for our reunion. In attendance were: Laura Abraham Price, Darlene Barton Ross, Sue Derickson, Ondrietta Johnson, Gil Jordan, Henry Klimkowski, Anne Krepacki, Candace Mahon Hill, Debbie Odell Raroha, Brian Scott, Wendy Harris Thomas, Beth Lemyre Wedell and Andy Wedell.
We had quite a few venues and menus to peruse. Our conversations kept coming back around to the date. Based on facility, pricing and menu we were all favoring The Mansion (surprisingly priced pretty good). However, that would mean Thanksgiving weekend. Given that we are now the "hosting generation" in many families, we decided to rule that weekend out. So, we selected The Link Country Club in Marlton (Kings Grant) and Just Between Friends Catering. They are able to give us October 29th, which is the RV Homecoming date!! We are thrilled with the additional options this gives us!!
We haven't really settled on menu yet. We'll be going over additional choices on that at our next meeting. We do seem to be leaning toward some entrée/dinner choices rather than strictly appetizers. But we seem to favor not doing a "sit down" per se. We want to keep things flowing socially more. Again, input on this point from others would greatly help in the decisions coming up. Please drop us a note or comment on our Facebook page. Let us know what you think!
Committee members are all going over the class list to start collecting contact info. Please feel free to make it easier for us, if you've got an email or address to pass along, send it to RVRHS76@gmail.com . I'll be sure you get the Reunion Info when we send it out.
We set up our next meeting for Monday, May 23rd. Feel free to join us! Also, check us out on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/RVRHS-Class-of-76-844940245618283/?ref=aymt_homepage_panel

Second Meeting
Eleven of us got together April 12th to keep moving forward with our planning; Ondrietta Johnson, Henry Klimkowski, Debbie Odell Raroha, Beth Lemyre Wedell, Andy Wedell, Laura Abraham Price, Brian Scott, Candace Mahon Hill, Gil Jordan, Pat Vermehren Stellwag and Linda Neff.
Unfortunately, we only had info on a couple of venues so we weren't able to make a decision just yet. One way or another we feel we need to lock in a venue and date before anything else can proceed. With that in mind (and before available dates dwindle further) our next meeting is April 27th.
So we're kind of thinking of this as just a really big party essentially. So we thought it sounded good to allow whoever would like to come (include other class years). We also thought that a dinner isn't really key. If we start just after dinner and have appetizers to munch on and a cash bar, it would be more affordable. Please feel free to give us some feedback on this. We're trying to guess what the majority would prefer.
With this in mind, everyone is trying to collect cost figures for an appetizer with cash bar type event to start after dinner. We're also trying to find a good DJ. All suggestions are welcome but would be most helpful if pricing info comes with.
At our next meeting on April 27th we hope to select a venue and decide on dinner/appetizers and cash/open bar. We will also begin working on addresses. Please join us if you can!
