Meeting held March 11, 2009. Budgets and Prices discussed. Must finalize by 4/1/09. In early April, Jack will send out test email to the nearly 80 email addresses currently available. This email is intended to see how many would attend and on how many days/events. It should provide a good data sampling of the number we can expect to attend. Entertainment being finalized. Event hours established.

And yes, each meeting gets crazier ! See Photo below !! Much progress being made and a review of the survey recently sent out, shows an overwealming approval of the upcoming Fall weekend. We now estimate that we should have nearly 200 in attendance, with most attending all three days !

The formal invitations will be mailed and emailed in July. Plans for the tours around Torrington are being finalized along with many other details.

On a side note, Barbara continues to be very bad and had to be put in a "time out" several times last night !!!

Meeting Held Wednesday, June 10, 2009

Cookie anyone ??? Yes, refreshements are a part of these meetings and yet we do accomplish a few things. This month we prepared for the formal mailing of invitations to go out mid-July. Some will be mailed and others emailed. We finalized the prices, set the schedules for Saturday's events, reviewed a draft of the "official" program booklet to be handed out at registration, and reviewed the registration form that classmates will be completing and sending in with their money. We're now finalizing the details of the entertainment and determining technical details of the sound system requirements. Sorry about the quality of the photo due to some flash problems ! 14 Weeks to Go !!!! +/-

Next Meeting July 15, 2009. The mailing of the invitations !

Committee Meeting, August 19, 2009

This time we met at the Elks Lodge in Torrington for the purpose of making the 2nd mailing as a reminder that time is growing short and all should send in their reservations asap. We also discussed various details of the Friday concert and buffet and noted that all must be in their seats for the 7PM concert start time. Rumors persist of some use of alcohol at this meeting, however they have not been able to be confirned !

And so it was another meaningful meeting, this time held at the new home of Heather (Yale) & Steve Gromko. Heather and Steve recently moved to Torrington from Farmington where they had lived for more than two decades. For Heather, it was coming home.

We are planning two more meetings before the big day, the next being 9/14/09 at the home of Don Marciano with Art Frigo in attendance. One more meeting will be held a week or so before October, date to be advised.

And yes, refreshments were served !!!Note, below, Roger requesting more whipped cream, and Barbara making sure she didn't miss any !
