What: Call it a Reunion - BIG Get-Together When: October 14 (Friday) - 16 (Sunday), 2011 Who: Everyone Where: Gosnell/Blytheville and surrounding areas as desired Events:
GHS Homecoming - Game starts... (doesn't matter if you get to the cookout)
Steve Southard's Annual Homecoming Cookout (behind visitor bleachers before and during 1st half
Reminiscing Parties (on the fly)
Sunday morning Send-Off breakfast (TBD)
* Anyone/Everyone who wants to assist (physically/mentally) Steve pull this off, contact Richard Bullock directly (e-mail preferred for tracking purposes). Steve asked me to coordinate because he will be very busy coordinating a car show, and I said I would.
** Steve told me the Blytheville Holiday Inn was just remodeled, and is ready to support those of us with diminished capacities (old & other). We will not have any contract agreement with the Holiday Inn, or any other establishment in the area - standard fees apply.
*** Steve is taking suggestions/recommendations for other events; however, he prefers to keep it cheap, fun and flexible. For the most part, it is desired to just have get-togethers for reminiscing.
**** I have initiated a "discussion" on the GHS Alumni FaceBook page for you to brainstorm.
