INVITATION TO BHS59 ALUMNI TO GET
LOST IN THE 50s AGAIN
"Operation Get Lost"
TO: All Boardman High School Class of 1959
Alumni
FROM: Bill DeCicco, Carol Bender Gordon,
Myron Mondora, Lloyd Murray and Gary Stewart
RE: Proposed BHS59 Operation Get Lost (in the 50s again)
aka "The initial Boardman
Gathering"
Dear fellow BHS59
Alumni:
Your BHS59 Operation
Get Lost committee, also known as the mini-reunion
group, recently met and decided an initial "Boardman Gathering" should
be pursued where all members of the Boardman
High School Class of 1959 can get "lost
in the 50s" once again.
Tentative plans call for
this gathering to be scheduled at a yet to be determined Boardman area location beginning at approximately
noon on Saturday, June 26,
2010. This will be an informal and
reasonable cost luncheon, followed by two to three hours of
enjoyable fellowship were we can all again indulge in
reminiscence about our Boardman High School days
back in the nifty-fifties. This very informal event will be
modeled after the successful "Venice Gatherings" held periodically in
Florida. Presently, it is the consensus that the gathering should be
restricted to only the class of 1959, their spouses and any other guests.
If some classmates want to arrange for additional activities
including golf, dinner, an evening on the town and/or breakfast
the following morning, you are encouraged to do so separately as
these are not now presently included with the committee's
plans.
However before details for our
initial "Boardman Gathering" can be finalized,
your committee needs to first gauge interest. Therefore,
please take a moment now to indicate the probability of your attendence as
per one of the following options:
____ I definately will
attend.
____ I most likely will attend but have
to check out some other matters first.
____ The probability of my attendance is
about 50/50
____ Thanks for the invitation but maybe next
time.
____ Get lost!!! Not interested.
If you plan on attending, please advise if
you will bring along your spouse or a guest.
Kindly RSVP your proposed attendance
plans via Reunion@BHS59.com
or
Class Notes.
by no later than Sunday, March 14th. If
at least 25 to 30 classmates (and guests) convey an interest, your mini-reunion
(Operation Get Lost) committee will assemble again (at 10:30 a.m., Wednesday,
April 21st at Peaberry's located at 4350 Boardman-Canfield Road, Canfield) to further plan for our
Saturday, June 26th "Boardman
Gathering" where we can all get lost in the 50s once
again. Again, it is important that those who are interested
in attending respond to this e-mail, if not now, within the next few
days.
Also, please take this opportunity to
offer any ideas and suggestions for the Operation Get Lost
committee to consider. Further, if you know of a classmate
who is not listed in our BHS googlegroup
directory, kindly take a moment and notify them about the proposed gathering via
either a phone call or another method.
Looking forward to getting lost in the 50s with all
of you again soon.
Thanks.
Bill DeCicco
P.S. Although the proposed Boardman Gathering will be an informal
event, a moment or two will be set aside to determine if future
gatherings should be held and if so how frequently. Further, some
time will be set aside to brainstorm for our BHS class of 1959 "70th
birthday party" to be held perhaps during the summer
of 2011.
