50th Reunion

Event Details

JULY 15-16, 2022

Come One Come All

to the

50 Year Reunion

Of Central’s

“Last Senior Graduating Class

Welcome Everyone ! ! ! ! !

Below you will find the information on what you have to look forward to, AND the all-important instructions on HOW TO REGISTER for a fun-filled Reunion Weekend.  

The current planning committee of Janet Stone, Mark Lawson, Garry Smith, Pat Corey, Mark Hanna, Rusty Clark, Steve Struthers, Flora Lee, Steve Cook, Tina Hall, Jeff Wooldridge, and our youngest classmate…..Bruce Kalin (he’s the baby of our class), are working hard to make this a fun and memorable event….as well as affordably priced.  Others are encouraged to join in with ideas and contributions. All are welcome. Sadly, we have lost two very special friends who helped us plan the last several reunions, Bill Knoepfler and Jeff Macfarlane. 

Here’s how you REGISTER for the events.  YOU have to do that …..NEXT.  On the left column of the site you should see a link called 50 Year Reunion and that is where you will/can sign up for the things you want to partake in and commit to coming. 

As mentioned above, we are doing everything we can to keep costs down, and we have received some very generous donations to help subsidize this weekend and are hoping to receive more, if possible.  On the payment page there will be an opportunity for donations over-and-above payment for your chosen activities. If you are able to contribute something, anything, that would be GREATLY appreciated. 

One thing to note is you will have several options available for payment including Credit card, Checks and Cash.  Our preference is a check from you as the credit card company is taking an exorbitant percentage fee for processing.  Checks or cash are preferred but please don’t send cash through the mail.  A check is the best (and safest) option.  That all being said, if a credit card is what you want to do, by all means, go ahead and use it.  We’d rather have everyone there than hassle over payment options.  Thank you.

MARK HANNA'S ROOM 

As he did at the previous reunion , Mark Hanna has reservd a suite at the end of the hall for the entire weekend, for an "Off Hour" gathering place for all of us. Refreshments will be available. 

 


SUNDAY 

 No “official” activity has been scheduled but we are thinking we would like to have a "Get Together" breakfast for anyone interested.... from all three years..'70, '71, and '72,  since all three classes will be in Sioux City on the same weekend. Perhaps a gathering at our Marriott in their breakfast room.
