Send your reunion pictures!!! We want more.

Save the Date/Save the Reunion

Under terms of our agreement with the caterer, we must have a minimum of commitments in order to guarantee our reunion date. Unfortunately, so far we have only recieved 6 responses. That is far too few to proceed with the plans. Therefore, we are considering the necessity of cancelling the Mankato East Class of 1997 10-Year Reunion.

We hope this does not happen and we are sending out additional notices to all the classmates we can. Please join us in supporting our class because you can only have a 10-Year reunion once.

By acting now, you will not only save the reunion, you will save $5 as well. On June 4, the individual cost of tickets will rise from $35 to $40.

As you know, the ticket covers food (Prime Rib, Baked Chicken,Veggie lasanga, and sides and salads with dessert at the end), low cost beverages ($1 beer and $2 bar pours), and most importantly the opportunity to reacquaint yourself with some lost colleagues!

Please send your check and response card now to:

Mapin Chhoun

Mankato, MN 56001

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon...

Response Cards Needed!!!

I hope by now you have all received your invite and have marked it on your calendar!!! We are really looking forward to getting together with everyone to catch up on what you have all been doing the last 10 years. Wow, has it really been that long already?!?!

We would really appreciate it if you could send in your response cards as soon as possible or at least shoot us an email at eastcougars97@hotmail.com to let us know if you are planning on attending. We would like to get a good idea of how many will be attending. This will help tremendously in our planning efforts. Thanks you!

Another thanks to everyone who has helped us in locating some classmates. Our MIA list is now down to 74! Not bad, but there are still some out there...

We hope you are having a great year and can't wait for August!

Searching...

The people on the (considerably long) list to the right have not been found. :( As people are discovered, their names will be taken off the list and a mailing will be sent to that person. So, if you are on this list, email us your name and current mailing address. If you know the whereabouts of someone who is on this list, lead them to this site or just send us their mailing address at eastcougars97@hotmail.com. I realize the list is long, but one by one we can get these people off the lost list and on the found list. Thank you...

As a side note. If any of the names are misspelled, Mapin wrote the list. If the names are correct, Ford did it!

Hope to hear from you...

Have you received your invite yet?

On March 4, Mapin and Melissa (Jordan) Chhoun, Dawn (Butterfield) Roberts, Anna (Polzin) Brett, Holly (Sorgatz) Evans, and Ford Rolfsrud gathered in Southern Mankato to put together the first mailing for our 10th reunion. I know what you're thinking. It hasn't really been 10 years, has it? Well, as the current kids would say, "fo-shizzle!" Sorry about that.

The decision was made to take full advantage of Pierre Sadaka's generosity and use Charley's Restaurant on Madison Avenue in Mankato on August 4, 2007. The plan is to get a tent and set it up behind the restaurant. $35 per person will get you appetizers, dinner, and free soda all night long. $1 tap beer and $2 bar pours will also be available. Most importantly, the opportunity to get caught up with some great people in a fun and relaxed environment will be at no additional charge!

So, when you receive your mailing, please send the questionnaire and reply card along with your payment in the self-addressed envelope found inside your invite. If you do not receive one, we don't know where you are! So, tell us where we can reach you (eastcougars97@hotmail.com).

Until later...
