25th REUNION – CLASS OF 1989

25th REUNION – CLASS OF 1989

 

Can you believe that is has been 25 years since we graduated from Claremore High School?  For the past few months, several members of our class have been ironing out the details for this event!  Make sure you clear your calendar for October 2-4, 2014!  Starting at 6:30pm on October 2nd, we will construct our float (at Eric Rawding’s shop ) for the 2014 home coming parade on Friday the 3rd. 

 

You are more than welcome to attend the pep assembly before the parade!!  That evening all classmates are invited to attend the football homecoming game at Lawton Field.  After the game, all that wish to continue the festivities are invited to the Elks Lodge Annual Alumni party.   Saturday, October 4th, we will have our final gathering at the Hard Rock Hotel and Resort in Catoosa.

 

The cost to attend will be $50/pp.  The cost of the reunion will go to pay for t-shirts, room rental, dinner, decorations, a $500 scholarship donated to the graduating class of 2015 in honor of the Class of 1989 and any other incurred expenses.  Any funds remaining after all expenses have been paid will be held for our 30th year reunion. 

All money received will be overseen by the committee.  Please mail your payment (and t-shirt size) to:
          CHS Class of 1989
          PO BOX 1876
          Claremore, OK 74018.

          Please make your payment by August 23rd, 2014 to avoid a $25 penalty. 

 

We hope that you will attend!  Enjoy the chance to catch up and visit with people that you may not have seen in many years!

 

Thank you again and hope to see you there…….Class of 1989!

P.S. To keep the clutter down, we would ask that if you have any questions you can contact me personally through Facebook or by phone @ 918 557 3622.  We will be setting up a PayPal account on this page so you can pay here. We will also post a PO Box if you would rather send payment through mail.

Post-Reunion Message from the Reunion Committee

First off, the committee would like to thank everyone who came out and attended the reunion. For those who were unable to attend, we hope that the 25th-year reunion will be even bigger with your support.

We still have t-shirts for sale. Those who paid to attend the reunion can get one for free. Those who didn't can still purchase one for 10 dollars. All sizes still available.

Our scholarship money collected on the night of the reunion amounted to nearly 800 dollars.

We will be sending out a CD later on when all the pictures are gathered up from the many people who took them at the various events. Once that has been completed, we will be sending out a CD that will contain a powerpoint slideshow and a memory book.

For those who have not filled out the memory book, you can still do so through the website HERE. You can submit your family or personal photo to ClaremoreZebras89@gmail.com.

We will be allowing a small window of time to get this information in. Once that time has passed, we will send out the CD to all those that paid. Those who didn't pay can still purchase the CD by making a 10 dollar payment. Any extra money collected will be used for our 25th reunion. A total expense is/will be available upon request to any member. We want to assure to our graduates that all money spent is accounted for. Our hope is that our 25th Reunion will remain just as reasonable.

We also have a survey that will be posted soon, so that all graduates have a chance to voice their opinion about the reunion. Is there something else we can do to improve the reunion? Give us your input.

Also, keep checking the blog for further updates.

Thanks,

The Class of 89 Reunion Committee

Hurry: Get us your info for the memory book!

Message from the reunion committee:

If any classmates have not submitted info for the Memory Book and you want to be included, there is still time. Just fill out the Memory Book webform on the left side of this webpage.

Also, due to the low number of responses for the Memory Book, and the anticipated number of last minute responses, there will not be a hard copy of the Memory Book available at the reunion. It is likely that the profiles and pictures for the memory book will be provided on a CD to reunion attendees, and that these will be mailed after the reunion.

Scholarship Auction / Donations

The Class of 89 has committed to raise funds for a 500 dollar scholarship. It is a tradition that occurs for every 20 year reunion. This 500 dollar scholarship will go to a deserving candidate from Claremore High School graduate class of 2009-2010.

If you would like to personally donate money for this scholarship program, you can do so via our PO Box. A silent auction will be held the night of the October 3rd to help support our scholarship program.

If you would like to put together a basket, or can donate goods or services, or volunteer your time, please contact Anja Grant by Cell at: 918-231-6358 or by Email:AnjaRemington@yahoo.com.

We are hoping that we have enough money for TWO $500 scholarships!

Coming Soon

In the coming days we will begin posting the names of the 89ers who have purchased tickets for the reunion. Stay tuned!
