Video–we would like to produce a brief video to use as a public service announcement on Seattle Channel, and also to post on You Tube with links on various internet sites. Cleve Ticeson is the lead for this.

Advertising/Media–we are looking into ads in the Facts and other community newspapers. We will distribute a news release. Also, we will post reunion announcement on Craig’s list, Facebook, etc.

Time line–we are developing this.

Please share with us any suggestions, or interesting information about alumni for the video or a news story–also, any photos from our school years.  If others would like to help us on this committee, please let us know.

Pictures:  Still looking for lots of old pictures.  If you have some, please contact Alan or Marybeth Turner.  Lea Gardner received several photo boards from Marsha Brown.  They included pictures from several 6^th grade classrooms, previous reunions, and Tom Heavey brought a souvenir booklet from the 10^th reunion that consisted of 1979 portraits of the attendees.

Tee Shirts and Caps:  Available thru Jus ‘Playing’

In addition to the ticket price, tee shirts, baseball caps and visors will be available for advance purchase.  Shirts, caps, and visors will be offered in purple with white writing or white with purple writing and will be $15.00 each.  These items will be different from what you can get directly from the school.  Committee to finalize design (bulldog or ’69 proof jug on the front or back) in April’s meeting.
