Class of 1983
July 26, 2008
3 years, 9 months and 20 days since
our Reunion.



***********************************************************************

Classmates,

Hard to believe, but it's time to start thinking about our 30th high school reunion. Our past reunions have been very successful and we're hoping the same for this one.

To keep everyone informed, we'll be using this website along with Facebook. There are close to 150 of us that are members of the Whitesboro Class of 1983 FB page, so if you're on FB look for us. 

 
If you haven't yet, please take a minute to register and/or update any information that you may have entered 4-5 years ago on the site. 

Now I need your help ...

Our 20th reunion, held Thanksgiving weekend at the Radisson, was a semi-formal event and was very well attended. Our 25th reunion, held in July at 12 North, was casual and we had less classmates at this one.

What date do you prefer -- Summer or Thanksgiving weekend?
Do you enjoy getting dressed up or would you prefer casual?

Your feedback is important and will help in the decisions that are made.

Any questions, you can reach me through my email, 
pam.holmes@roadrunner.com or send me a FB message.
 
Thanks and we'll be in touch soon!

Pam

 I've made a change to the website so if anyone wants to upload pictures from the reunion you can do that on your own without sending them to me. Thanks, Pam

It's hard to believe the 25th has come and gone already. What a great weekend!?We?hope you all had?fun. We'll be starting to post photos so keep checking back. If?anyone has photos, please e-mail them to me?(pjholmes16@juno.com) or mail me a CD and I'll get them on the website.?If anyone is interested in a copy of the?Memory DVD that was played continuously during the reunion, we're looking into making that available for a small fee. We'll also include ALL?the pictures that the photographer took.?

Did you all enjoy the casual atmosphere better than something more formal??And do you like summer vs. Thanksgiving weekend? Just thinking ahead to the?30!!

Time is running out to make your reservations for the reunion. You must pay by July 21st. You can simply go to the Buy Tickets tab and make a reservation with your credit card, or you can mail a check payable to Whitesboro Class of 1983??to me at 3 Tanglewood Road, New Hartford, NY? 13413.?

YOU CANNOT JUST SHOW UP AT THE DOOR ON SATURDAY.

Making reservations in advance allows the committee time to prepare nametags and?booklets and to give 12 North an accurate count.

So don't wait -- buy your tickets today!

As of today there are only 56 days left to our reunion! For those who haven't?yet registered on this website, we mailed them a?reminder postcard this past week. That's the final mailing.? If you visit this site often, you'll see this week there?are quite a few new classmates so?people are responding to the postcards.

The committee recently met and we've decided to have a raffle table, which was very successful at the 20th reunion. So if you or the company you work for?would like to donate some items for the raffle, we'd really appreciate it.

The committee is busy working on getting ads from area businesses for the memory book as well as the website. These ads really help keep the cost down for this reunion and upcoming reunions. We've had a great response from classmates becoming reunion sponsors -- thank you so much for your support!

On the photo albums page I added a kindergarten photo that was e-mailed to me. Do you know which school it's from? Do you recognize anyone? Stop back here next week and I'll let you know.

It's time to celebrate our 25th high school reunion!  

Please join us July 26th and reconnect with old friends and classmates. 

Please register as a "Classmate" on the Classmates page so we'll have your correct address to send you more information. (Even if you cannot attend and even if you have already given the committee your contact info, we need you to register on this website).  Also, upload your pictures and tell us what you've been up to for the past 25 years! 

Check out the "Photo Albums" page.  Hopefully there will soon be plenty of pictures to enjoy.  Be sure to share YOUR pictures with the class. Upload your old high school pictures, recent pictures and family pictures.  We'd love to see them.  

Although our 25-year mark is a time of celebration, we have unfortunately lost some of our classmates along the way.  If  you know of any classmates that are no longer with us and are not listed on our In Memoriam page, please contact us so that we can honor them.

We encourage you to BUY YOUR TICKETS EARLY. The cost for the reunion is $25 before May 10th. After that date you will see an increase to $35 per ticket.
