Calhoun High School

A long, but important note from Darcie:

I am afraid I will be leaving someone out, so I may be be back to edit this list a few times.  I wanted you to know all the partners in crime that helped to pull this event together.  Amy Craig was the brains behind the web site and name tags, and was actually the one who said, "Are we going to have a reunion this year or what?  Let's get going!"(She was also the one who had to listen to my venting on the days when things were completely falling apart - y'all will never know the whole story!!) If it wasn't for Amy, this probably would have never gotten started or finished.   Rebecca Ellard and Jason Meadows have become quite the missing persons locators. Joyce Aguilar set us up with Ramona Deleon (Lee's mom), who catered our delicious food.  Chris Kovarek had a pretty good connection with the band, so she lined that up for us.  Jason suggested the t-shirt concept, and Eloy Bonuz developed the awesome design.  Bert Mikosh is the IT guy I would email or IM and say, "hey, how do I..." and he would put the computer lingo into layman's terms for me and teach me how to get it done.  Tina Castillo went through not one, but two t-shirt printers to get those t-shirts made in time for the game.  Norma Maseda was able to get supplies for us to have your reunion packets ready for you, which made the check-in process go as smoothly as it did. 

Allyson Abraham dealt with school administrators for our football game tickets and seating arrangements. Jacki Howard found and ordered our banner, so everyone knew what section we were finally allowed to sit in.  Irene Schultz lined up our security guards that were required by the VFW.  Glad she found some cool ones!  And of course, you know Rebecca has been working like crazy on the DVD for us.  Thank Lorrie Smith for being able to have our picnic inside, away from the mosquitoes and Michelle Wehmeyer helped get ready for the picnic, also.  And when you walked into the VFW, didn't it look fabulous?  That was due to the efforts of Melissa DeMouy and her family. Ruthie Orta and Eva Wallis came up with our award categories and prizes.  Now, we had a lot more workers in addition to those listed here, but these are the ones who were the coordinators for the different aspects of this past weekend. Please!  Please!  Please! Let them know how much you appreciate their hard work! It was because of these classmates that we had such a fantastic time.

When we had planning meetings, we averaged 12-15 attendees. Ask any one of them, and I bet they will tell you that those meetings were almost as fun as reunion night.  Whenever it is time to start planning the next reunion,(Jim Gayle told me at 11:00 Saturday night he would be in charge of the 25th, but Nancy was quick to add he is - not her LOL)  come join in the fun.  I won't lie, it is a LOT of hard work, but SO WORTH IT!!
