1984 Branham Bruins 20 Year Reunion Newsletter |
September 18, 2003
When and Where ?!?!We are looking to do this event in the San Jose / Santa Clara area, hotels seem to work pretty well. If you work for a hotel, or have connections with a hotel and you think you can help us in securing a facility, please contact us immediately: Info@84Bruins.com.
What will the reunion be like?
Plans are subject to change this early in the game. Currently we are
planning a dinner / music type event, very much like the 10 Year Reunion except
at a hotel this time. We would like to have a casual atmosphere, plenty of
opportunity to catch up with your friends. This will not be a formal
event.
We are also looking to reserve a picnic grounds for the following day so anyone that is interested can bring their families and continue catching up. This will be a Bring-Your-Own-Everything event.
How can you reduce the cost of the
tickets? Help us find missing alumni!
We are using the Internet as much as possible to locate alumni. Every
person we cannot find we will have to pay to find later, so the more we can find
now the cheaper the reunion tickets will be for everyone. So far we have
only been able to get current address information for about 19% of the class.
We need your help finding the rest of the class so we can let them know about
this reunion. Please go to
http://www.84Bruins.com/20YR_Missing.htm and review the list of names.
If you know how to get in touch with someone on the list, please tell them to go
to the website and register. Or, you can send us their contact information
and we'll try to verify the address. Please, if you have an email address
for them make sure you include that as well.
Raffle prizes
We will be conducting a raffle and giving away various prizes to the winners.
Proceeds from the raffle will go to the Future Reunions fund which we
established after the 10 Year Reunion. This money will be used to
subsidize future reunions and provides us with start-up money for deposits that
are required to set these events up. If you have any prizes you can
contribute to this event, please contact us immediately:
Info@84Bruins.com. Check with the
company you work for and see if they are willing to donate to your class!
Do you have any photographs we can
borrow?
We are working on memory books and slide shows. If you have photos from
high school or from the 10 Year Reunion that you would be willing to share with
us, please contact us immediately:
Info@84Bruins.com. We will return
the photos. It is important that you put your name and address on the back
of each photo you submit.
