Country Club

Hey guys!!! Well, the Country Club is all taken care of with a HUGE THANK YOU to Crystal "Sharp" Hasley and her husband Mike for allowing us to use their membership to rent it w/out having to pay quite as much!!! We can decorate if we want as early as the day before so if anyone is interested in helping in that area, let me know!! We have time to discuss what meal we would like them to make but I would like to go ahead and get that taken care of soon so that we will have an idea of how much everyone will need to pay for their meals and also so we can move on to other things we need to take care of!! Some people have voiced that they would like to meet at Leal's on Friday night and then possibly have a "family day" Saturday at lunch time at the park. Let me know what you think of this...Also, if anyone has any other ideas please tell us about them!! I know we are doing what other classes before us have done, but it's hard to be original here in Muleshoe!!

Meal

I've had enough people tell me that they feel CC catering our little shin-dig is fine so that's what I'm going to plan for. I will call them today and reserve and we can let them know what meal we want soon. Brisket and all that comes w/it is fine w/me...What does everyone else say?

Hello everyone.

Leal’s will cost $9.75/plate. That will include 2 enchiladas, beans, rice and salad as well as chips & dip. Total money we have for reunion is $396. Please remember the cost of renting the Country Club and if we rent it w/them catering, we will have more money left over to do other stuff (such as sending out invitations[envelopes, stamps, making copies, etc..]and maybe trying to put some type of scrapbook together or something w/everyone’s bio update). When we send out invitations we will ask for an RSVP along w/the money for each person’s meal that will be attending and possibly extra money to go towards whatever else may be needed. We will also need to make committees for things such as decorating, cleaning up, etc…

Personally, for the money it sounds as if the Country Club is the way to go. If we would like to have a preliminary get together at Leal's on Friday, then we can reserve the big room and all meet and pay for our own plates that way.

Also, if anyone has ANY ideas for some activities please let us know.

We also need addresses so that we can send out invites. But, the main thing is getting the Country Club reserved right now. And, that can't be done until the catering info is decided.

Thanks!

Labor Day Weekend

It looks like Labor Day weekend will probably be the weekend of our reunion due to the responses on the blog and the emails I've received. I am still waiting on Belinda Caswell to get the money to me so I can book it. Also, I need to know what kind of meal everyone wants at the Country Club. Do we want them to cater it and if so, what do we want? Irene suggested getting Leal's to cater. Please respond and let me know!! We can't get everything scheduled if we don't get any feedback so please respond to this blog!!! Thanks guys!!!

Hey guys...most of the people that I have spoken with so far have requested Labor Day weekend to be our reunion date. I have only had 2 people request Homecoming wkd. I really need some feedback on this blog!!! Please leave comments!!!

I called the country club to get dates and prices. As of right now the dates open are: 6/6, 6/13, 6/27, 8/8, 8/22, 8/29,9/5, 10/3,10/17,10/24,10/31. Homecoming is October 16 and Sept 5 is labor day wkd and that might be a really good time. Also, the prices of renting the country club depend on whether you are a member or not. I will list prices below. We do have to put a 50% deposit down on whatever date we choose. Also, if you talk to anyone else that you don’t see on this send out you might put a bug in their ear and see what they think. If you have any questions or comments please email me! Hope to hear from everyone!
Thanks,
Sharon “Johnson” Villa

Member price
Catered $300 + meal price per/plate
Not catered $400

Nonmember price
Catered $400 + meal price per/plate
Not catered $500


The hours used would be from 6pm-midnight or 1am. As far as food, we would make a request and see what they would charge to make that particular meal (example:Brisket w/all the trimmings would be approximately $9/plate). The country club also has a member that DJ’s which would be a separate charge which is $150. I will need to book a date soon for both! I really hope that we can do this!!

Getting started

Hey everyone! Allyson came up with the idea of setting up a blog (what a smart girl!) and here it is! So here's the deal-as you all know we are 3 years late on having a 10 year HS reunion (hard to imagine our class would be so unorganized-yea right!) and although a 13 year reunion is a little strange, it's definitely do-able. Most graduating classes lose a few fellow graduates to unforeseen circumstances. Our class has lost several. These are the ones I know of : Dennis Reeder, Becky Viss, Ernie Paez, Gayla Wall and Jackie Chapman. Although not all of them went through h.s. w/us they were at one time part of our class. When our 10 year reunion was trying to be put together Jackie was so excited to get it going and unfortunately it didn't happen. Just in that 3 year span we've lost Jackie and Ernie (both to cancer). We never know when our last breath on this earth will be taken and b/c of that many of us want to go ahead and get the show on the road and have our reunion. I feel a sadness that these people won't physically be with us, but we all have some type of memory of them being carried with us, and because of that, they will be there in a spiritual sense. I think it only right we honor them by doing this now. I don't have every one's email address, but I do have a few. I'm hoping that this blog will spread and everyone will get on and read it and join in on the planning. As of right now there are two dates that are available for the reunion that make the most sense. They are Labor Day weekend (Sept. 4-7) and Homecoming weekend (October 16-18). I need to get a general consensus of when everyone wants to do it, and I need to know pretty soon so I can get everything booked. Please leave a comment on which you prefer. I do know that Homecoming wkd will have several other reunions going so if we choose that wkd, we need to act fast. Our class has approximately $340 in the bank that can help us with the reunion but unfortunately that won't cover the cost of everything. I'm not sure if we should have some type of fund raiser to help with the cost or not. We can post suggestions and make a decision on that. If I rent the Country Club for a night I will need to put half of the cost down (and the cost will depend on whether or not the CC provides the meal or if we get someone else to cater). I will post info about what the Country Club prices so that everyone can see them. Anyone wanting to help with any part of this is more than welcome to!! I can't wait to get this going and see everyone!!!
