July 28th Meeting Updates (copy of email sent)
We had only a small group but so far he is the agreed ideas:
Utica Hotel (Teri and I have a meeting with them to discuss options, we also need to know if there is already money available from the last to use as a down payment for reservations)
1. Sit down dinner with choice of entrée,
2. 3 hour open bar(1 hour before and 2 hours after dinner),
3. dj (already contacted to do 80 on music)
4. knights castle sculptured ice centerpiece in middle of room with led lights in the moat creating mist
5. the whole affair being themed as “Silver Anniversary”, that being said, no jeans, tshirts, suits/ties and gowns only.
6. We have designed the centerpieces for each table already
7. we have silver keychains engraved with each persons name
8. there will be a choice of 4 appetizers that will be passed by servers on silver trays.
9. We are currently working on the new yearbook, which will be distributed on cd/dvd as a pdf digital file. The new yearbook will have a scanned image from 1984
and then whatever info each person wants to add. Each classmate will have a full page. I am thinking of using (as suggested by Austin Trask) classmates.com profile
questions to use a questionnaire.
10. So far it is agreed that the charge will be $100/person $175/couple
We are still missing many new email addresses as many of them came back to me.
I think that is all for now.. I will let you know when the next meeting is.
Thanks
Wayne Hesler
PS: please let us know of any ideas you may have to really make this a WOW event.

Update…. for those listed here and subscribed…. please contact Linda Thorn for more information as I am no longer maintaining the info here for the reunion since it was decided that HP84.com should be the "OFFICIAL" posting place. Just an FYI so people do not continue to submit their info here as it will not be used to update HP84.com's site. Thanks for everyone who did subscribe and support me.

This sounds great! A suggestion would be since we have some time, maybe put out a survey regarding the cost. But really, for the Utica Hotel, that sounds like a great price with plenty of time to plan. Maybe those who don’t have family around NY might be able to get together and get a group rate on rooms. Wayne, what is the tentative date again for the reunion? When are you and Teri meeting with the reps from the Utica Hotel? The plans so far sound great!
