O'Rafferty High Senior Class of 1965
1st Meeting of the Reunion Committee


Sept. 30, 2009:
The Reunion Committee met for the first time at Jack & Noella Maloney's house. In attendance were Noella & Jack, Gene Klco and Mary Ann Stowe. Discussion included:
- We opened with a prayer for Scott and Larry (and Mary Ann's daughter who has breast cancer).
• When to have party?
-Saturday night, not during the summer, avoiding holidays
- Chose mid-September 18th or 25th. Need to check on MSU home games
• Where to have it?
- Restaurant: Tony M's, Guerrazzi's, Others?
- Hotel: Lexington (was Sheridan), Causeway Bay (was Holiday Inn So.), Marriott in EL (not on home game day, Radisson
- Hall: St. Mary's (built new hall - nostalgic), St. Gerard's (concern as to costs: room rent, catering, hiring bar tender, may need hire security)
• Music?
- Do own - use 60s only music. Gene has nearly 300 songs from 1960-69 already, mostly in around 1965. Will make CDs for different parts of the evening.
• Other info
- Figuring about 60-80 people to attend as an estimate.
- Aim to keep price under $25 per person
- Invite others who went to school with us, but didn't graduate with us.
- Encourage classmates to get their bios to Gene for inclusion in the website
- Update address list & get as many email addresses as possible - to keep us up-to-date
• Next steps:
- Will gather info and probably have another meeting in a month
- Goal to set a date and place for reunion
