A Fun Weekend Is Coming! Don’t Miss It!

The greatest time of you life is about to happen this weekend. Don’t
mss it! What is it? It’s our 40th class reunion of course. We start
out with bowling on Friday night at Imperial Lanes, 6-10PM (2101 22nd
Ave So). We already bought some lanes, so come on down. Paul Bascomb
will have some caps and t-shirts with our bulldog and Class of 69 logo
on it for purchase and we are taking donations to build our scholarship
fund which is a bonafide 501C3 charity (tax deduction).

Next on Saturday starting at 6:30, we have the main event held at the
beautiful Yesler Community Center (917 Yesler Way). The Center offers
beautiful views of Southwest Seattle. There is a terrace for those who
need to catch their breath from dancing to much. Alan Yamamoto has put
together a wonderful slideshow from pictures we got from you. It
includes pics from previous events, family photos, and a memorial for
those who have left us to soon. There will be time for you to share your
reflections, stories, and songs with us. This is going to be really a
lot of fun with lots of fun things for you to enjoy.

On Sunday we have a family picnic and ask that you bring your favorite
side dish. The picnic will be at Othello Park (7340 43rd Ave So). We
start at noon. Cleve Ticeson is bringing his movie camera and we are
going to do another YouTube film with all of us singing “We are the
Bulldogs!” So bring your voice and your smile!

Oh! It not to late to purchase your tickets. The committee is meeting this Wednesday at 7PM, my house 919 26th Ave So, Seattle 98144. Come on by and say hello. We also will be taking money on Friday and Saturday at the events. $69 is still the price – no increase for paying at the door. By the way, no tickets were mailed to you. We will have your name at the door for those that already paid. A big thank you for those who sent in their checks so promptly.

Many of you have called and it was a lot of fun talking to you. I and
your Reunion Committee are really looking forward to seeing all of you
this weekend.

Eagerly waiting to see all the Mighty, Mighty Bulldogs of 1969,
