Hot Off The Press!

On Saturday, you won't have time to check out ALL the great stuff in the souvenir booklet, but later you'll read it on the way home or over coffee and you'll realize how cool it is.

Here is the guy you need to find on Saturday to thank for a great job. Ben (Thurmond) Bush has worked diligently to lay out the ad copy, the photos and notes, including a list of deceased, for each class. The dummy copy which we saw last week was terrific! (Note: It's in the bag.)

Get yours -- Hot Off The Press!

Save The Date! October 20th

The Annual Reunion of ARC classes of the 5o's is being well-planned. The Murphey farm in Trenton is being readied. The souvenir booklet is filling up with photos, messages and ads although there's still room for your memorial, business ad or greeting. T-Shirts, hats and cups are being counted and reordered. Vendors for tents, chairs, porta-potties and Barbecue (along with banana puddin' this year) are standing by.

Invitations with all the details will be mailed in mid-August. The committee is hard at work!

This is your chance to see old friends from Richmond -- most of them older than you! Put it on your calendar.

Poodle skirts are not required!

June Meeting - Lost in the 50s BBQ

Lost In The 50s Chairman, Robert Murphey reports on the last month's meeting for the annual BBQ:

Our last meeting was primarily covering Ads for our 2007 Booklet. To date, we have 14 ads paid totaling $1,900.00. We need $5,000.00 to break even. We also discussed having free popcorn this year instead of boiled peanuts.

The Martinez Fire Dept. has allowed us to use their community room on the fourth Tuesday each month for our meetings. Next meeting is July 24th at 7:00 PM.

This group really gets down to the nitty-gritty on the details -- just one reason this is such a great event.

Lost in the 50s Souvenir Book

An email from Robert Murphey announces

"Our next scheduled meeting will be Tuesday, June 26, 2007 at 7:00 PM. We need to review our Ad sales."

I am amazed at the work this committee does for the annual barbecue for classes of the 50s. Each class has its own subcommittee to plan and send newsletters. The whole committee plans everything from porta-potties to desserts to the souvenir program book.

Last year the book was a huge success and will be done again this year. If you have a business you want to promote or just want to honor someone with an ad, Robert will give you the information and take your money!

More later.
