I'm getting excited about the Dora High School Alumni Reunion this year. Organizers moved the event from the high school gym which is not set up for these functions, to the Bevill State meeting facility, which is ideal for reunions.
I say the gym is not suited because I know first hand. The school doesn't have enough banquet tables and chairs for the crowd. For several years in a row, I had to move tables and chairs from a local church to the gym and then back again after the reunion and I can tell you it's back-breaking work.
The planners were worried that some of the alumnus would complain. I suggested that if they did, we would let them move the tables and chairs next year.
I wish more young people would attend. Not sure why they don't. I've heard so many classes say they can't get enough people to sign up to attend landmark events like twenty and thirty year reunions. I think that's sad because it's good to catch up with what all's going on in everyone's life. I know there is Facebook and a lot of people use this social networking site as a substitute for face to face encounters. I enjoy Facebook, but I also like face time with all my old classmates.
Anyhow, I hope you'll join me at the Dora High School Alumni Reunion April 24th. Registration starts at 5:00 p.m. and dinner is at 6:30. Bring pictures of you kids, grand kids, hunting dogs, your new husband and/or your boat.
