______________________
Notes and Pictures from the second Meeting
For those of you who attended the meeting last night at SF CC, I thank you
VERY MUCH. The CC was very nice and would make a nice impression to the
class. We saw the room we would be using and were shown how it would be
set up.
We met with the manager and did some menu brainstorming. Here’s our
thoughts: We will have grazing stations for: Beef, carving station,
chicken station and Pasta bar there will be 2 vegetables and salad (bar or
Caesar). We would end w/a dessert table and coffee, tea & Iced tea would
be offered.
Nancy, thank you for arranging the evening and for your work, thus far.
Larry presented to us his suggestion for the letter to be sent in October
requesting donations. These would offset the price of the meal plus
mailings, printing, music, decorations. We want to TRY to make the
ticket price affordable for ALL. No question Larry spent time, trouble
and thought in doing this letter. EXCEPT for 2 MINOR changes the
committee felt it was good to go.
Thank you LARRY for ALL of YOUR HARD WORK.
NOW, I am reminding you about the July 23rd at 6:30 PM meeting
at Indian Valley CC which Suzanne Brook has set up for us. We will again
meet the mgr. go over the menu, and see the room.
We will also be able to have drinks and a light meal during this time.
How this was worked this time, Nancy put the total on her account and we
each marked down the price of what we ate/drank including tax & tip and
then gave this to Nancy. Please have some small bills so we don’t need
change. THANKS.
This will give us an idea of the quality of food and presentation and ALSO
the type attitude of the staff and their service. All of which is VERY
IMPORTANT.
After this meeting, 7/23, I would like to have a meeting in early August
to discuss both places and give one our answer. This way all should be
very fresh in our minds for us to make a clear decision.
If someone would like to volunteer to have the next meeting, this would be
great. Joe Carbo gave me a CD demo for a band, One2Many. I would like to
play this CD that evening. Their price for: 6 piece ensemble consisting
of 2 female & 2 male vocalists with guitars, keyboard, bass & drums is
$725 for 4 hrs with $150 for each additional hr. Usually clubs will
provide some type of meal for the band and WE WILL NEED THIS COST as well
NANCY & SUZANNE.
So FAR COMMITTEE “A JOB WELL DONE” see you 7/23.
OH------------------PLEASE be sure to tell me yes OR no for the meeting as
they CC wants to set the tables for us. Thanks. ss

Notes and Pictures from
the third Meeting
First announcement: NEXT MEETING-----ALICE NAGLE’S
HOUSE, MONDAY, AUGUST 18, 7:00 PM.
David has
prepared for us 4 printed sheets which he distributed. He has asked that
you look over them, making corrections or additions and these will be
discussed at this meeting. Acrobat PDF files will be emailed to all
committee members. I am going to give you information on what we
experienced last evening at IVCC and THANK Suzanne B NOW for her work and
suggestion for this.
-
I want to thank JOE Carbo for ALL the HARD
work he did in calling/visiting 9 other places and then doing a spread
sheet with facts and prices for these places. This CONFIRMED to the
committee that the two places we are considering ARE THE BEST CHOICES for
our needs. These sheets will be available to see at Alice’s when we make
the site selection fot yhe 50th.
-
NOW for what we saw and experienced last
evening at IVCC.
-
We were met by Amanda, a very
knowledgeable young woman who is the Banquet Manager
-
We were assigned 2 wait staff who took
our drink orders plus meal order (this was then prepared while we saw
the facility)
-
Amanda then took us into the ball room/s
area
-
There are two VERY LARGE rooms which can
be opened into one and can easily hold 250 PLUS
(about 5000 square feet - more than any previous indoor reunion)
-
The one section has about a 12 ft ceiling
while the other has a Vaulted ceiling (perfect for David’s video
projection)
-
Everything is carpeted except the dance
floor/s, tile ceilings and curtains on windows (great noise reducers)
-
There are 2 drop projection screens which
David may be able to use, and plenty of outlets around the room/s as
well as a full PA system
-
The band/dj can have a nice amount of
space at the end of the room for his/her setup
-
As IVCC has JUST been TOTALLY redone,
EVERYTHING is new and pristine
-
There are two bars and depending on our
numbers, both can be open, thus lines reduced
-
Amanda suggested IF our numbers are high
to have TWO SETS of STATIONS (2 carved beef, 2 chicken & veggies, 2
pasta) AGAIN CUTTING DOWN ON LINES
-
These sets of stations are filled from
each side so that the staff does NOT have to walk through the tables to
fill/get to them
-
Also her suggestion was to DELAY the
dessert slightly and keeping it open longer as people like to “pick” a
little before driving home. (We did this at our 45th and it
was a great SUCCESS!)
-
She also will set up beverage stations
coffee/tea/ice water where people may go throughout the evening
-
The entrance for the ballroom is 1 flight
down (stairs PLUS elevator)
-
Having this separate entrance means we do
NOT have to take any space from the room/s. This area presents a very
pleasant area to have our table and greeters
-
The parking for this entrance is just
beyond a garden area using a lovely walking path, (no roads to cross),
with handicapped parking being right on the other side of the garden
(the gardens are lovely and this area has a gazebo for anyone wanting to
take pictures)
-
AFTER we saw all of this we went back
into our room for our drinks and meal which was ready to be served. I
asked everyone how their food was and ALL were not only please but did
get what they ordered and how they wanted it. A BIG Plus---each person
was given his/her wallet containing their own bill in which they put
their payment. GREAT IDEA.
-
Amanda then came in with her proposal for
our event. This she handed copies out to everyone. I will have
copies for anyone who missed seeing this. Without 100% detail I will
BRIEFLY tell you (these are all grazing stations with attendants when
required: Salad & Warm Mixed Breads, (assorted greens toppings as well
as dressing); Beef carving station w béarnaise & horseradish sauces;
Chicken Francaise with potatoes & veggie; Pasta Station with 2 pastas &
3 choices of sauce plus Parm & red pepper flakes; Dessert station with
assorted cakes, pies plus coffee/tea stations.
-
She ALSO will include mirrors & votives
for each table which will help make a lovely presentation area for
whatever Eva suggests.
-
We can have white cloths with royal blue
napkins keeping with our theme.
See
you at Alice’s on August 18 which is a Monday at 7 PM
PLEASE ADVISE YES or NO if you are coming.

Notes and Pictures from
the 4th Meeting
-
Last
evening we were a group of 17 and the meeting started at 7:00 PM, right on
time!
-
The FIRST thing we did was to
go over the Spreadsheet listing 30 items and rating each Spring Ford &
Indian Valley Country Clubs. After this discussion a silent ballot was
taken. Sam Miller counted the votes and Indian Valley won the vote.
-
It was mentioned prior to all
of this that thanks to Joe Carbo’s hard work, checking about 15 other
properties it CONFIRMED to everyone that SFCC & IVCC were by far and wide
the BEST overall choices for our 50th.
-
The date will be October 9,
2010 at Indian Valley Country Club in Telford.
-
The next discussion was our
first mailing. We went over Larry Reed’s letter and changed it to Dear
Classmate
and omitted one paragraph. At the bottom right was put the “when &
where”. Kaye Russo Grasso suggested a type of envelope which would be
preprinted with Alice’s address and the inside flap would have “suggested”
donation amounts. This would then fold over the envelope for closure.
This and the request for donations would be sent together. These
donations are being requested to HELP offset the total cost for each
person in order for the 50th to be affordable for everyone.
-
This mailer will be sent out in October.
-
Our next meeting will not be until April, at Suzanne Brooke's house. At
this meeting we will discuss the information form to be sent out, Larry
Reed will input this information when received.
-
Nancy Peters has contacts w/various Newspapers and she will send to them
list of names of Missing Classmates (when we know who is missing).
-
Kaye, Sam & Joe are gathering “memorabilia” to do some “short” roasts and
walks down memory lane. If you have any, get it to them.
-
David is revising the second mailer and will present in April. We also
are considering a “save the date” magnet to put on the fridge which will
go into this mailing. David & Kaye are working on this.
-
The evening ended about 9:30 PM with everyone feeling quite good for all
our accomplishments! Once again, a GREAT COMMITTEE doing a WONDERFUL
JOB. ss
