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!

Important Update About Class of 89 Reunion

Dear fellow classmates:

Our August 15th deadline is less than a week away. We need YOU to commit ASAP.

Other activities graduates can attend during our Reunion: Dave Burrows (Treasurer of the CHS Alumni) informed the committee that there is a luncheon for all graduates the day of the reunion. This luncheon will be at the Elks Lodge and will cost each guest 15 dollars. Also, if any of you are wanting to go to the luncheon and the Pep Assembly that day, please let us know. Many of the committee members will be attending both the luncheon and the Pep Assembly as per tradition. We hope that you will come, but let us know ahead of time so they know how many spots to reserve.

Also, we are committing to a 500 dollar scholarship. It is another 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 or by our Pay Pal account on our website. Just let the webmaster know that the money is going to this program.

A silent auction will held the night of the October 3rd to help support our scholarship program. If you 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

OFFICIAL REUNION LETTER

Class Reunion of Claremore 1989

It has now been twenty years since we graduated, and although some might not want to hear this, our union is just around the corner. For the past several months, members of our class have been spending countless hours to make sure this reunion is very special for all. Make sure you clear your calendar for October 1-3, 2009. On the evening of October 1st, we will construct our home coming float for the 2009 home coming parade on Friday, October 2nd. That evening all classmates are welcome to attend the football home-coming game at Lawton Field. After the game, all that wish to continue such gathering, are invited to the Elks Lodge Alumni party. BYOA!! Saturday afternoon will be designated family time. We will have a picnic at Claremore Lake. That evening we will have our final gathering at Cherokee Casino.

Our biggest concern facing the reunion involved the price for such activities. We want the price to be affordable for all that choose to participate. The cost is $50 per person or $100 per couple. The cost of the reunion will go to pay for the following items: renting the room at the Casino, catering, DJ, prizes, decorations, sandwich for the picnic, nametags, memory book, $500 dollar scholarship that each class donates on their 20th reunion, as well as any other incurred expenses. Any funds remaining after all expenses will be for our 25th reunion. All money is documented and is overseen by the committee. You can mail payment to CHS Class of 1989, PO BOX 1632, Catoosa, OK 74015 or by Pay Pal account which is linked to our official website. If you and your spouse or significant other wishes to attend, please make your payment by September 15th 2009 to avoid the $25 penalty. It is very important all money is received before that date to pay our expenses and have a better idea of how many will be attending.

For those who do not know, we also have an official website for our reunion. Paul Ziriax created the site to keep our graduates informed about upcoming events, www.zebras89.blogspot.com. That site includes a list of lost zebras. The list includes people we have been unable to get in contact with for whatever reason. If you have information that will help locate these lost graduates, please let us know by email (using the blog page) or by calling Bruce Rogers at 918-557-3622. We really want everyone to have the opportunity to join us in our celebration.

Included in this letter is a questionnaire for the memory book. Please mail the completed form along with payment to CHS Class of 1989, PO BOX 1632, Catoosa, OK 74015. Watch the website for the ability to complete this form online. We ask that you also include a digital photo of yourself and family as part of the memory book. The ultimate goal is to have the memory books available at the time of the reunion.

Another important note is yearbooks are available for purchase as well. Mrs. Brankle of Claremore High School is now doing year books. She has informed the committee that a yearbook from 1989 can be purchased for the price of $40 and will be on a first come first serve basis.

It is our hope that this reunion be very special. It’s a chance to catch up and visit with people you may have not seen in 20 years. We hope to see you there. T-Shirts will be given out to all those that attend the reunion. Please include your shirt size with payment.

Thanks again, and hope to see you there….. Claremore Zebras 1989, we are old, but ‘still rockin’.
