Immaculata Reunion Class of ’65 Meeting

March 16, 2015

Present: Mary Buchanan Scheible, Sue Evans Shovlin, Paula Geraci Zito, Janet Hoey Robinson, Judy Morad  Gumble, Kathy Nacy Stasys, Mary Ann O’Rourke, Kathy Petlewski

Reunion will be October 9-10 at the Dearborn Inn.  They are holding 20 hotel rooms for our group until one month before the event. There will be a mixer in the hotel pub on Friday night. We will charge $15 for food with a cash bar. We have been assigned a room for lunch to accommodate 55-70. We are responsible for providing $1800 in revenue. Including room rental, bartender fee, cash bar and buffet luncheon cost. Our fee per person has yet to be decided. The class of ’64 charged $60 per.

Mary Ann will provide Kathy P with an updated spreadsheet of addresses periodically which she will eblast  to all our emails addresses. It is hoped that by all using all of our ‘found’ members they can help us with info on the ‘lost sheep’.

Kathy P, our research expert, will send a list of suggestions for good ways to search for our missing classmates to those who have offered to help us find people.

Judy and Janet will handle collecting the money. Sue will talk to her contacts in the Class of ’64 and find out who was the money handler for their reunion. She will put them in contact with Judy.

Paula and Mary will be in charge of the mailing for our ‘Save the Date’ postcard. Mary Ann is able to provide mailing labels.  It should go out around mid-April.

Mary Ann is in contact with Virginia Carney who is going to help connect us with Monroe. They may be able to help us with spreading the word through their email newsletter.

Kathy P. and Mary Ann will work on setting up a Web page and a Facebook page for the reunion.

Sue will contact Maureen Krupp Labadie to set up some kind of booklet similar to the one we had at the 40th reunion.

THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE MONDAY, APRIL 20, 2015, 6:00 AT SHIELD’S PIZZA ON TELEGRAPH IN SOUTHFIELD.  ALL ARE WELCOME!

  1. THANK YOU to ALL that are on the committee to organize our 50th Reunion!!
    Your planning, searching, doing, organizing and smiling are coming together beautifully.
    Looking at pictures from the 40th Reunion, I must say all of you look great so we must check our calculations. Are you sure it’s been FIFTY years? I look forward to seeing all of you;)
