Class Reunion Coming Soon!

Miranda and Marvin
Greetings Pals and Gals! 

As you know, our 20th reunion is coming up soon. We have a small group of classmates currently working on the details of the reunion, which is currently slated for late May 2013. 

We had a committee meeting on Saturday, July 28th. Marvin and I were the only ones able to make that meeting, but we were able to get the ball rolling in the right direction.  Currently your committee consists of Miranda Bryant, Marvin Orr, Ginny Stanley Bass, Chip Jancsek, Ron Dothard, Rod Hill and Loran Truss. Any volunteers are welcome!

The goal of our committee is to create a weekend-long event that will offer each of us the opportunity to fellowship together amidst our busy schedules.

There have been numerous suggestions put on the table, and the committee will work hard to make these come to fruition.

Right now we need two things:  Current contact information ESPECIALLY email addresses and a headcount of how many will be attending the reunion in May.

Can someone please tell me Alan Pitts' email address?

You will receive a subscription in your email for a BLOG page from me in a couple of days.  Our class newsletter will be generated at blogspot.com. Each time I update this website, you will receive an email with a link to the updated blog page.  You must subscribe to receive this updated information. 

We will only call you in the case of an emergency, so please make sure that we have the best number to reach you or leave a message, as some the numbers we have are out of date, as well.

If you are unable to receive the updates, you may call me at 205 405 7163, and I can work something out with you to contact you personally via phone or mail.  Periodically this information will be updated on facebook, but do not look to facebook for the latest.

You can also send me your personal updates and news if you wish for me to share it with the class at once!

Finally, one of the things we would like to see done is to help the classmates who have lost their high school memorabilia over the past years get some of their old pictures back. If you could begin emailing me ANY photos you have from high school and also any snapshots you might have taken since we graduated, we would love to try to put together some form of Memory Book via snapfish or WalMart.com to have available to purchase.

Any suggestions you have for the reunion are appreciated, but you must be willing to back your suggestion with your MAN POWER! We will need your help!

We are all looking forward to a great 20th reunion. We are known for our ability to get together, so let's do it again!

Peace and Blessings
Miranda B.

Reunion Fast Approaching

Dear Friends,

I write this to you to let you know that another reunion is in the works, but this time it is the 20th! A nice, round, fat number for us old folks who are listening to the Golden Oldies of the 80's. The songs we new as kids are now on the Back in the Day Buffet!!! YIKES!

I know economic times are tough, gas is high, groceries are high, paychecks are down. We make great things happen as a team. We enjoy each other's company, and we love gathering...obviously, we have gathered every year at least once since 2008. I have immensely enjoyed it, and from what others have said, you have too!

I created this website a while back, but now I am trying to really make it information that is useful. You will find classmates birthdays (as I come across them), contact information, as I have it now (please send me updates as necessary), and financial info with regards to the class account. You will also find pictures and tours down memory lane. Please EMAIL ME MORE!!!! I would love to have a whole pastle of pictures to post. My goal is to run a silde reel at the top of the newsletter. The more pictures the better!


Marvin has made a call to action for our classmates. I am simply holding the megaphone. Now is the time to begin planning and saving for our 20th Reunion. Rod and Ron have been so kind as to volunteer their time and effort, but we NEED MORE!!!

We need IDEAS!!! We need RESOURCES! We need photos, venues, entertainment, food. Suggestions!!! and sadly, we need money. I would much rather call for a year-long payment plan than a cover charge of $100 or more to cover everything.

Suggestions on the table at this point are picnics, dinners, meet and greets, gathering more than just once...holding more than one event so everyone can make it to at least one. T-shirts. Photo albums to replace yearbooks that were lost over the years. A roast of one of the classmates...voted on by you. A Who's Who. Where are they now? These are ideas on the table, nothing concretely formulated.

If you would like to be a part of the planning call Miranda or Marvin. Numbers listed on the contact page. Or email me. Check in on our LINCOLN HIGH CLASS OF 1993 facebook page, or the 20th Reunion Event Page on facebook.

We are looking forward to having a great celebration of 20 years of friendship!
