A good time was had by all

From Allison:

Thank you to everyone who attended the reunion. It was really a pleasure visiting with all of you. I am truly honored to have grown up with each and every one of you and I could not be more proud to say that I am a member of Northshore High School’s Class of 1998. Our high school administrators were right, the class of ‘98 has always been & will always be exceptional! Thanks again to everyone who came out to make this night a success! Megan, the slide show was wonderful and Shyam, thanks again for the celebratory shot…..it was much needed & appreciated.

One more reminder

From Allison:

Can you believe our reunion is just a few days away?! We are really looking forward to seeing all of you. It has been brought to our attention that there was a rumor floating around that the reunion party on Saturday night was canceled. Please know that is FALSE. It is definitely on & we couldn’t be more excited. If you have heard that rumor, please disregard it and help us to set the record straight. If any of you have old pictures from high school, please send them to Megan Williamson Wall at: meganwwall@gmail.com if you have not done so already. If there are any of you who have not yet mailed your checks & would still like to be a part of this event, please email us so that we can make arrangements for payment. Again, we are really looking forward to this weekend & hope you are too. See you soon!

Your NHS reunion committee

This is the final call for all alumni interested in attending the reunion on 10/18. We need your money by OCTOBER 1, as we need to pay the lovely people at the Quail Farm. Right now, we are nowhere near close enough to footing the bill, so we desperately need your help. If we are not successful in this task, we will have to cancel the reunion event, so please get your checks in by OCTOBER 1. Thanks for your cooperation and we hope to see you soon.

Allison and I have put down the deposit for the Abita Quail Farm.  Looking at everything, the price per person will be $60.  This includes the place, all food, all drinks, and extras like invitations.  We will be sending out invitations at the beginning of August.  We are asking everyone to let us know if they are coming and have the money in by September 19.  That way we have an idea as to how many people are coming.  Attached is a list of grads.  If we do not have your contact info, please let us know this as soon as possible.
