Fellow Classmates,
The preceding letter regarding the Class of 1964 60th reunion
is exciting news and I’m certain the Committee is doing their
very best to bring as many of us together as possible.
It looks like they have planned several fun and interesting
activities for us over the three days. There is however, a concern
that we should all be aware of. You may remember me recently
writing a letter regarding the costs of maintaining our web site
and I asked for your help. Your response was terrific. I am back
asking for some help. Please don’t stop reading.
The Reunion Committee is operating with zero funds. The Country
Club of Indianapolis requires a deposit for use of the room.
That amount is currently being negotiated but will likely be between
$750 and $1500. In addition, there are miscellaneous expenses
for decorations, AV support, etc. The charge for the banquet
is anticipated to be
$75 per person. Let me break that down for you; $50 for the meal,
$4 sales tax and $10 automatic gratuity. That’s $64 and those prices
aren’t locked yet. That doesn’t leave much money going towards
the room deposit. The kicker is we need to pay the deposit SOON.
Here is the ASK. I’m looking for a few individuals to go an
extra step beyond the per person charge.
That charge will come later. Will you send some amount today?
Any amount will help. I know many fund raising activities
give away a tote bag if you commit to some level. If you match
me at $100 I will see that you receive a very popular plastic very
popular plastic “tote bag” created by an art studio called Walm Art.
I’m sure you’ll recognize it when you see it.
Please send your check to the
Committee Treasurer:
Richard Parks/CO64
212 Orchard Blvd
Fishers, IN 46038
Thanks for sticking with me through this entire letter.
You people are the best!
Rex
