Deadline for Saturday Tickets EXTENDED!

Your intrepid reporters have been informed that the deadline for submitting ticket requests for the KE 50th Anniversary Jubilee Dinner has been extended by a week, to April 9. Apparently there is a late flood of ticket requests, so the deadline has been extended.

Use the golden link to the left to get to the KE 50th website, and follow the links there to get your tickets if you have not already done so. Let's get everybody from the Class of '64 mini-reunion on Friday night to also attend the dinner on Saturday!

The KE website also contains information about other KE 50 events, including a 5k run, golf, and the like. If you are interested in the run, scroll down three items to the "George Wants You" entry posted on March 25. George Constantino is looking for others to join him in the 5k, which is in honor of Lou Reuter.

Deadline Is THIS FRIDAY for Tickets to Saturday's Jubilee Event

If you haven't gotten your tickets to Saturday's event, the deadline is this Friday, April 2!! Use the golden link immediately to the left to sign up for Saturday's event.

Note that there is no deadline for signing up for Friday's Class of '64 reunion. However, please let us know if you are coming so we can order the right amount of stuff! See the post below for people who have already signed up. We're almost up to 50!

George Wants You!

Here's a message from our class President -

Hi Ron, I have decided to sign up for the Lou Reuter Scholarship 5k Run. I remember when Mr. Reuter first came to our area and came up to our baseball team, as we were practicing, and asking us if he could work out with us. Little did we know that he would make such a big impact on our school and the area. He seemed to have an attitude of just do it. In honor of him I am going to run this special event and I know he will be there in spirit. If there is a way to mention this in one of your post I would like to ask others to join with me from our class of '64. Just to do it! Thank you George Constantino.

e-mail George if you'd like to participate in the run to honor Lou Reuter.  Go get'm Pres.
