Reunion Planners Needed!

Today is one of those perfect spring days—sunny and warm, with lush foliage, vibrant colors, and that unmistakable feeling that life is good.

I'm writing because it’s time to start thinking about—and planning for—our 60th reunion next year (can you believe it?!). I’d love for us to get together this summer to kick off the planning process. Whether you're in the Rochester area or farther afield, your help would be truly appreciated. There are always lots of little things to do, and with many hands, it tends to feel more like fun than work. I always look forward to reconnecting with the planning team, and I hope you’ll consider joining us. If you’re interested in being part of the planning group, please let me know!

We’ll likely stick with our familiar three-day format, but we’re always open to fresh, creative ideas—so don’t hesitate to send any suggestions our way.

One question that comes up regularly is whether to hold the reunion during the Lilac Festival. There are pros and cons to that idea. Alternatively, if we stick with a fall date (as we’ve done in the past), when would be best? Homecoming weekend? Earlier or later in the fall? Since many of us travel—to visit family or for fun—it’s important to settle on a date soon so everyone can plan accordingly.

In the meantime, here’s one easy way you can help: assist us in reconnecting with our “lost” classmates. Click [HERE] to see the list of those we’ve lost touch with. If you have contact information for anyone on that list, please let me know—I’ll be happy to reach out to see if they’d like to be included in future updates.

Looking forward to your ideas—and hopefully to seeing many of you this summer!

Thanks!! For All Your Help!

The 50^th reunion of the MHS Class of 1966 was an unqualified success! the Reunion Committee worked very hard to ensure that our 50^th was a reunion to be remembered. During the planning the committee decided to try to keep the events as affordable as possible. The challenge was balancing affordability with value. To help accomplish those goals, we asked classmates to underwrite some of the expenses - and people were extremely generous. The Reunion Committe, on behalf of the entire class, would like to thank the following people for their generous financial support:

• Friday night appetizers - (thank you Chris Thurber Knupp! and Connie Hawkes Stockanus)
