Everything is as final as we can make it! You can now purchase tickets, make event reservations, or donate to the class by credit card or by check right here on the website, by clicking here or using the "40 Year Reunion" link on the left menu. Please note that there are 2 options for each "ticket"...make sure you select the correct one to be charged properly. Please purchase your tickets early so we can make the appropriate arrangements. We just re-sent the post card to try to steer classmates to the site. Please mention that tickets are now available. All they need to do is register (the website is free! (the reunion is not!)) and they are ready to go. Looking forward to seeing all of you at the reunion in July!

NEW INFORMATION, NEW NAME & ONE REQUEST!
We just updated the user forums. You can see the new title on the top menu bar: Mt. Lion Messages. Hopefully this will intrigue a few more to investigate. In addition to the new name, we added a new forum called "Cares and Concerns". We'd like to use this as a place to recognize cares and concerns for classmates and their families. Although we have a way to notate classmate obituaries, we have come across some for family members. You can post them here when you find them. We can also use this to focus on illnesses and other concerns we want to inform our class about. Please contribute!
Also, I added a topic on FORUM ETIQUETTE and one called "Everything you want to know and are afraid to ask!". This is a very detailed view of how to do a lot of things on the website. Please take a look. If I've missed anything, please let me know!
Lastly, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE register for the Reunion as early as possible. We need to know how many to plan for. Over 140 of you have said you are planning to come, but only about 16 have registered (see REUNION UPDATE page). We would really appreciate it if you can register soon!
Still like music from the 60's and 70's? Well, now you can hear it any time you visit the site! We've started a playlist of songs that remind us of the era and welcome your suggestions. Send us a note listing title and artist using the "Contact Us" link on the top menu bar and we'll try to find and add your favorites to the list too!!!!
NOTE: if you want to check out other pages while listening, hit the popout player button at the bottom.

SAVE THE DATE:
Our 40th Reunion is being planned for Friday July 23 & Saturday July 24, 2010.
We've just created a new page to recognize those who have donated money in support of our class (reunion, website, etc.). The page also provides a link if you'd like to help support us!
Click here to see this new page. We are facing a lot of upfront costs in preparation for next year's reunion. It would be a great help to us if you are able to help us out with some additional funds a few months early!
Take a look at our new additions on the left menu bar: The Archives and the Photo Gallery. If you can contribute anything like these, please let us know.
Flashback to High School...what were some of our favorite songs? Two of us have weighed in on this "important" subject! Check out what we had to say in the USER FORUMS (see button on the menu at the top of the page). Also, why not start another topic? We'd love to hear from you!
You can find us on FACEBOOK too! Click the logo above to go to our FACEBOOK page.
