Updating the Class Data:
During
the last month we made great progress updating our class roster after
splitting the task by alphabet with committee members taking a portion
of the listing. We passed out updated lists to all present to work
on for next month’s meeting. The new lists contain some additional
information to make the search easier: Middle names or initials;
date of last contact.
Here is

The
search committee is receiving a PDF file attachment that has the updated
class information as of 3/1/2013 in a separate email. It is
password protected and is for the purpose of helping with the search.
Search Tools:
There
are some resources on the web that may be useful in locating phone
numbers, addresses and emails. Just about anything of any value is
“pay-walled” so the committee did a quick survey and decided to try out
a service for the next month or two and share the info with the
committee to access the search service. We think that a good
service will be available for about $30/month. Jeff W. will make
arrangements and get the info out to the committee members before the
next meeting.
Event Date:
The
date is set for the weekend of August 24th. Dusty and
Bonnie will make arrangements with one of the excursions on Minnetonka to reserve the time. There was
general agreement that we need to get the date information out to
everyone as soon as possible to help plan for the summer.
Mailings:
The
committee discussed options for doing one physical mailing to make sure
that we reach out to everyone. While we have email and the web,
there are classmates that are not connected and also some of the email
addresses may not be current. The other concern is that email can
easily be caught up in spam filters and not everyone can be guaranteed
of checking the junk folder. Bonnie has previous examples of what
we sent out and everyone agreed that Pat Bauer loves to help put the
form together. Bonnie was also going to contact Jake Cadwallader
and see if he could help with the mailing like he did for some past
reunions.
Next Meeting:
Date:
March 21st at 6:30
PM
Location: The Muni in Wayzata.
