Six weeks until the reunion! If you haven’t yet sent in your registration, there is good news for you! We are keeping the price at $30 per person for all that are postmarked by July 10th. If you have already mailed in a check at the $40 per person rate, we will refund the difference to you.

The committee has been meeting every month, putting in long hours as we try to learn or re-learn “The Hustle” for a possible entertainment feature at the reunion. Truth to be told, this isn’t working out so well, and it looks unlikely that there will be any kind of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ inspired performance at the reunion. However, this group is dedicated to putting together a great party/reunion for the FSHS classes from 1972 through 1976. Don’t put it off any longer; send in your registration today!

The Faribault Football Association is hosting a golf tournament on Friday, July 23, the day before our reunion. All former Falcon football team members are invited to participate, but especially those from our reunion classes.

Invitations will be sent out in mid-February, via email (if we have your email address) or by regular mail if not. Do your class contacts have your current email or mailing address? If in doubt, please send your address to us (see class contacts, below).

When you’ve received your invitation, please respond early and tell your friends to do the same. Space is limited (keep in mind there are five years of classes attending) and once we reach our capacity limit, we will have to turn people down. Dress is casual.

We are holding a block of hotel rooms at the following Faribault hotels under “Best of the 70′s” class reunion: AmericInn, GrandStay, Days Inn, and Select Inn. The first two are especially convenient to the party location. If you need a room, don’t delay. Make your reservation today!

Also Included in the price of admission (yes, there’s more!), you will receive a CD with your class directory and a collection of photos. If you have photos to share, we’d love to have them. Send digital photos to Carrie Budahl at: cabudahl@charter.net, or send to your class contact. The deadline for photos is June 15. If you have actual photos that you’d like to share, check back later and we’ll have an address for you to send them to.
