HELLO ALL

A QUICK UPDATE:

The Class of 1970 yearly gathering on Sat., Sept. 28 at the Legend's Bar and Grill in the Holiday Inn was felt to be another great success.  Negative comments about the event have not been heard. Some of the very same attendees as the previous year were present along with some new attendees.  Huge discussions took place and a lot of laughing and giggling was heard throughout the night, surprises to see each other, and generally just a good time by all.  We missed those of you who did not attend and you need to know that many of your names came up wishing you would have been there.  It was a simple relaxed setting and a grand evening,

Now, just a reminder of our upcoming 55th Reunion.  Can you believe that it has been 55 years since we received our diplomas in the "new" gym (which is what it is often still called). Amazing the number of years that have gone by.  We hope this reminder finds many of you able to reflect on those years at CHS, whether they be good or bad years, and that you can find some enjoyment that occurred during those 4 years.  The 55th Class Reunion Celebration is scheduled to take place as follows: 

Saturday, September 27, 2025

Red Carpet Event Center (Downtown St. Cloud - the Red Carpet remains in the same place as in 1970) - The Event Center is in the lower level of the Red Carpet.

Hours - late afternoon into the evening

Additional information:  There will be an appetizer buffet similar to our previous events, there  are 3 hotels within close walking distance from the Red Carpet, free parking is basically right on site, AND the invitation and more information will come shortly after the start of the year.  So, be watchful for it.  We are looking forward to seeing you there.

If you and your family are still celebrating the holidays, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!  Good health wishes to all.

Your Reunion Committee:  Bonnie Blaske Fitzharris, Lee Fitzharris, Dave Kremer, Tim McNeal, Mary Poster Lahr, Jean Traut Muntifering, and Karen Zakrajshek McNeal.

Hello Classmates of 1970!!!

Important Information! 

 **** Yearly Gathering****

 SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 

We hope this announcement finds you reasonably healthyand hopeful, that you are enjoying some good moments, and that you are continuing to make memories.  Hooray for the 1970 graduates!

We want to remind you of our yearly gathering that we said we would continue with, as we had nothing but positive comments from last year's attendees. So, once again it will take place at the Legend's Bar and Grill, Holiday Inn, St. Cloud, MN. It will be held on the last Saturday of September, which is the designated date for our class events going forward.  Thus, this year, the date for our Yearly Reunion Gathering will be SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2024.  Hours are 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM or until we decide to end the evening.  We have the room inside of the bar reserved for us.  Their will be a cash bar and an opportunity to order an evening meal or appetizers through the bar if you so desire. It will be a very casual setting for classmates and spouses/significant others to converse, reconnect and remininsce about memories and to make new memories, and to share laughs and tears.  It was a great time last year.  Please share the date with other classmates and encourage all to attend.  Let's have another wonderful event.  A reminder will be sent prior to the event.

Additional Information:  We are in the midst of planning our slightly larger event of our 55th Class Reunion.  We are excited again to try to get as many classmates to attend as possible, so spread the word about this annoucement.  The date remains the same as what was previously shared with you.  It is scheduled for SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2025. There will be more specific details coming out around the start of 2025.  We are just taking this opportunity to share with you the beginning plans.

Our event will only be Saturday evening. It will take place at the Red Carpet Event Center, which is in the lower level of the Red Carpet, downtown St. Cloud.  Surprisingly, the Red Carpent remains in the same place as it was in 1970.  This site was chosen for a variety of reasons.  It has 3 hotels that are within 1-3 walking blocks from the Red Carpet for classmates joining us that are in need of an overnight stay or two.  Hotels include: Best Western Plus Kelly Inn, Courtyard St. Cloud, and the Grandstay Residential Suites Hotel St. Cloud.  There is a parking ramp that has free parking on Saturdays.  The ramp is located right outside of the back entrance where the Event Center actually is and is called the Centre Square Ramp.  Also, we feel that the Red Carpet falls in line more with our budget.  Lastly, it is an attempt to assist in keeping downtown St. Cloud alive by supporting one of the existing establishments. And to top that all off, we can support our classmate, Mary Gaetz's family, as family members own the Red Carpet. The Red Carpet Event Center appears to best meet our needs. Again, more details regarding our 55th Reunion will come at a later date.  Just be sure to mark it down on your calendar for 2025.
