Hello Everyone, If you were not there, you missed a fun filled weekend back home! Many thanks to the class of 1963 and the good folks of Harlan for coming out and being a part of the weekend activities. A special thanks to Billy J. Gray, Nawana West Tyler, Catherine Jackson, Paul Ray Bowen, Paul McGhee; everyone behind the scenes promoting and coordinating their reunion; all their classmates and families traveling great distances, to share their love with the Rosenwald-Harlanites! Some of the highlights of the weekend are listed below: - Rosenwald Class of 1963 was the highlight of the weekend. They had over 20 of their classmates in attendance!
- Friday’s social at the armory was fun.
- We installed new board member, Terresa Tentman; daughter of Charles and Edna Tentman.
- Saturday’s dinner was over the top. We were booked to capacity, with more than 110 people attending. Each person that paid $30.00 for dinner also received a 2009 RHI membership; making this the largest one time membership drive in years. Welcome all new members!
- Fundraising; Dinner; membership Donations. We made a healthy profit, see treasurer’s report for details.
- 2010 Reunion will be held in Louisville, KY. Details early next year.
Our fall meeting will be held in Cincinnati, OH. Plans are in progress, and will be posted to our website when competed. Family, friends and fellow Rosenwald-Harlanites, thank you for all your support. Our successes could not happen without you! Blessings, Les Williams, RHI President
