Tonight the reunion committee met at the place formerly known as Cybercenter... now called 'The Dugout'. (It's behind Airport Chevrolet off of Chevy Way.) It's a bit scary to see a room totally dismantled and being repainted, but we met with 'Russ' the manager there and feel confident that our Friday, August 6th private party there will be a great one! It starts at 7pm and we'll be going until no one wants to go anymore - which Russ assured us was OK with him.
Just in case you were wondering... it's OK to bring spouses or significant others to the party. It's not really a kid thing though. It's also OK to invite people from other classes to come too. "Charley...".
There will be a 'Tornado Menu' available, jello shots, red and black themed drinks for sale too. A retro game room, pool tables, a golf simulator, XBox 360's and more! No live band to squash conversation this time, plenty of parking, several beers on tap as well as two full bars and plenty of staff.
It's going to be a fun night. Hope you'll be able to join us!
For Saturday, please show up at North Medford High School's gym at 10am for a class picture. We have a professional photographer who will be taking these shots, so time is money. If you want to be in the photo... please show up on time.
The NMHS Equestrian Club will be selling pizza by the slice, and all proceeds go to the club. About 12:30 we'll be cleaning up, with those who are going on the jetboat trip loading onto an air conditioned bus at NMHS at 2:30pm, to return around 9:30pm.
Other private parties are being planned, and we hope this gives everyone ample time to show up for the photo and still attend whatever functions that interest them.
The reunion committee hopes that whatever you do, and whoever you are with for the reunion, you have a great time with your friends.
Sunday the 8th, there's the family picnic at Donahue Fronmeyer Park - corner of Spring and Springbrook in Medford, from 10-2pm.
The committee will provide cake and soda, but please bring your own lunch, chairs and shade if desired. Due to not charging for anything except for the jetboat trip, funds are tight and we decided this would be the economical thing to do - having everyone bring their own picnic.
Thank you to Linda, Darrin, Shannan and Renee for all they have done - the months of planning and effort - to make this happen for all of us. It's no easy task to try and guess what will make you all happy, but they do so with smiles and a 'can do' attitude no matter what. That's something that deserves a pat on the back from all of you.
Hope to see you next weekend!

Hellgate Jetboat Dinner Reservations - CLOSED
I just got off the phone with Hellgate and confirmed our group reservation for August 7th's dinner cruise. All those who have purchased tickets through PayPal links on the blog and website (now taken off those sites), are on the list and space has been reserved for you on the bus and for the jetboat excursion. No paper tickets will be mailed, you're simply 'on the list'.
For those who missed the opportunity to purchase tickets as part of the group, Hellgate has advised me to pass on to you that you can call them directly: 541-479-7204, and get on a waiting list.
Please DO NOT show up and get on the bus at North Medford High School and head to Grants Pass expecting to load on to the jetboats without having purchased group tickets in advance. We will not have space for you and can not simply add you at the last minute.
Note: People are called by Hellgate as openings are available, and would then pay Hellgate directly and ask to sit with the Medford Class of '85 at dinner. This could happen right up to the morning of the trip. There would be no guarantee that anyone who purchased their tickets this way would ride on the same boat as the group however.
We've tried to do our best to get the word out early about this opportunity and to make it affordable by doing so. I'm sorry if you missed it, but contacting Hellgate directly and getting on the waiting list is your shot at joining us despite the group reservation being closed.

Cybercenter Under New Ownership with New Name
Friday, August 6th will be the kick off to the 25th reunion at 'The Dugout' - formerly called 'Cybercenter' - on Chevy Way in Medford. Open to the class exclusively, this will be a casual event where you can get reacquainted with friends from the past. No-host bars will be ready to serve you, food will be available for purchase and we're hoping the golf simulator and pool tables will also be available for our use. (Checking on that one tomorrow night when the reunion committee meets with the manager.)
It's kind of exciting to have this venue as the parking is plentiful, the site itself is 'sports bar' with big screen tv's and games to play. We have the benefit of working with a guy named Russ who is the former Cybercenter's manager, and who we think will have our back on this one - making sure we have a great private party!
FYI...There was a possible misprint in the Mail Tribune that indicated 'Thursday' for this event. That's wrong... it's on FRIDAY AUGUST 6TH at 7pm until closing.
See you on Friday night!
