| We had our 4th reunion Meeting May 30, 2002. We were happy to welcome Peggy Bergen Strube and Tom Tansey to our group. Other attendees were Joan Borchers, Tom Cahill, George Fencik, Regina Kane, Betty Kenny, John Lancia, Eileen Lyman, Pat Murphy, Bob Maliff, Tom McQuade Bob O’Callahan, Barbara Rea, and Betty Texido. Bob opened the meeting by asking George for a treasurer’s report. George stated that fifty (50) people paid as of this date, and financially we are in good shape. Bob reported that all classmate invitations to the Reunion have been mailed. The invitations ask for a RSVP by Aug 1, 2002. Barbara will send special invitations to invite Mrs. Regina Muldoon Nienstadt, Sr. Julia Ann and Sr. Francis Maria. Pat Murphy, Awards Committee, asked for suggestions on the number, wording and placement of the award’s captions on the matted picture. Many offered suggestions. It was left it up to Pat and the artist who will be completing the picture. Joan Borchers, Telephone Committee, asked for direction on a request to open the 50th Reunion at Crystal PT. to SMHS graduates of another year. There followed a discussion, ranging from “...sure welcome every Michaelian”, “... Bette McCloskey said that she will be running another ALL Michaelian event after the Villa Building is completed”, “...any of our classmates can invite other people to the reunion”. The majority voted not to extend an invitation to another group of a different year, since there would be all Michaelian event in the future. Tom McQuade proposed that we budget some money for a memorial mass for our deceased classmates. The committee voted a unanimous yes. Jewell McMillan Dreisbach, Questionnaire Committee, asked Bob to report that she has received only 24 questionnaires. To date we have contacted 93 graduates. There are still 19 people we have not been able to contact. Betty Kenny Murray , Memorabilia Committee, prepared a booklet for the committee to view. There was discussion on the size of the booklet, the cover, the school colors, type of printing, color of the recent individual photo, and the cost. Nothing was finalized. Bob said that he would remind people to send current classmate pictures to Sr. Ann (Betty Texido), old school pictures to Betty Kenny, and the completed questionnaire to Jewell McMillan. Bob asked if the group wanted to meet in June and or schedule the next meeting for July. The group voted for a July meeting. The meeting ended at approximately 3:10 PM. The next meeting in Edgar's Pub is scheduled for Thursday, July 18, at 11:45 AM. |
