Review of minutes from last meeting. We had narrowed the places for the reunion to Lantern Lodge and Holiday Inn Grantville and the Hershey Auto Museum.

Denise Ott and I went to visit the Lantern Lodge and we were impressed but the fact that we would have to have a minimum of 125 people turned us off to the idea of having it there. We could potentially lose a lot of money with this if only 75 people showed up. The Hershey Auto Museum Shawn Woodhouse was looking into getting a better price for. That idea did not pan out and the Museum was just too expensive. Holiday Inn in Grantville after many attempts never got back to us.

Account balance: I made a withdrawal from the account for $50.00 for printing materials and Ink. I also made a deposit for $100.00 from the Avon sale. Our Balance as of 11/5/11 is $1744.00.

The new list of venues we are looking into are

1. The Hebron
2. The Timbers
3. The Community Club (former NCO Club) Fort Indiantown Gap
4. American Legion
5. Mount Zion

I will be getting information to all Committee members and we will take a vote VIA our next meeting or by email.

New class list updated and given to committee members We are still trying to locate approx. 90 Students. Missing student list is updated on our official website www.lhsclassof93.com if anyone knows how to get a hold of these people let one of us know.

Janell Tropasso had some questions regarding the invites for the reunion. Some people were apprehensive about giving their addresses out. If anyone would like their address marked private I am willing to do this that way I will be the only one seeing the information. The school will not be updated and the committee will only see private on their list. I was asked to do this with some people already and it is working out good.  She brought up doing invites through Facebook. There are some concerns with doing it this way which will be explained in the votes part.

Fundraisers

We had three candle companies, one coffee/cocoa company, and two cookie dough companies to choose from for fundraising Stasia Miller brought information for a Sheetz book which will be considered in the future. Chris Knott had a Friendly’s Night in mind which gives 10% for every patron that eats at Friendly’s. No coupons just walk in and eat. Katoora Rohrer is looking into setting a date and get more info for end of March early April 2012.

Votes

We voted in Blue Mountain Candles as our fundraiser this time around. They are 26 oz double wicked double scented candles. There are 200 scents to choose from We are asking $15.00 per candle. The sale will run from 11/5/11 to 12/2/11 orders and money due no later than 12/2/11 so the candles will be delivered by Christmas. If you are interested in buying a candle or selling for us We could use all the help we can get in order to have a nice reunion for 2013. Please consider buying or selling If you want to buy see any one of our committee members. If you want to sell please see me either by FB IM or Email I will get you all the information you need. There are some people who are not part of the committee contributing and it is so great to see.

We Voted in Facebook invites AND mailing invites We WILL NOT be selling tickets at the door therefore you will have to pre pay for your tickets. This is the concern with a Facebook invite only.  How would we get the money? The other problem is maybe votes will not be accepted because of the cost of the meal we need an accurate number.  If you do not have a ticket there will not be an opportunity to get one at the door. This is so everyone has a good time and can enjoy the reunion. Last reunion people sat and took money through the entire reunion and it was not enjoyable. We will have a ticket taker who will not be responsible for money just collecting tickets.

The meeting ended at 7:03pm and the next meeting is scheduled for March 24, 2012 from 6:00pm to 7:30pm Location to be disclosed closer to the time.
