Synopsis of Class of '59 Meeting
Saturday, March 27, 2010
Shaw Library, Clearfield

Our meeting at the Shaw Library on March 27 started at 1:00 p.m. with 14 classmates in attendance. Kirk High has joined our 70th Birthday Celebration Planning Committee, and I thank him for his participation and his ideas. You can see all the participants in Karl Nagle's photo above this report.

I am pleased to tell you that the next meeting will be a Class of '59 picnic on Saturday, August 28 at 1:00 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus picnic grove in Clearfield. Please come and enjoy the fun, food and frivolity. There will be lots of good food and drinks, and everything will free!

A brief 70th Birthday Celebration planning meeting will be held immediately prior to the picnic.

Our 70th Birthday Celebration will take place little more than a year from now, on July 30, 2011, from 4:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Clearfield. AGAIN our gathering will be very informal (shorts, tee shirts, etc. OH! No bikinis). Our menu is pizza, subs, salad, cake, soda, H2O and whatever else we come up with.

On the Friday night before the celebration, we are all invited to Sam Lansberry’s home in Egypt (the directions will come later) at 5:00 p.m. for food, conversation and merriment.

At the March 27 planning meeting, all of the committee chairmen gave their reports. The decision was made to make the Birthday Celebration free to our classmates and to pay all expenses from the remaining money in our treasury. Donations certainly will be accepted and put to good use.

As always, get to a computer and log onto our blog. Denny Mollura does a great job of posting info about our class on it!

In the past, only graduates who have celebrated their 50th Class Reunion were invited to Golden Bison/Alumni functions. Now, all graduates from CAHS and anyone who attended CAHS are invited to attend the dinner on July 31, 2010 at the K of C in Clearfield. You’ll be receiving a flyer on it soon.

In recent weeks, we have lost our dear classmates David Boyce, Sally Witherow Fink, Mary Jane Hand Gillingham, and Lewis Marrara. We should plan see each other as often as we can while we are still able.

I hope that you all had a nice Easter holiday. Call me if you have any questions or just to say hello. That would be nice.

We’ll be in touch as information comes in.

Addendum to the Meeting Synopsis:

Let the minutes reflect that Dawn O'Day was unanimously "railroaded" as the new Spouses' Auxiliary President. Welcome to the party, Dawn!

Following the meeting, many of the committee (and Spouses' Auxiliary) members got together for dinner at Hedges.
