Three Beautiful Things 06-02-2023: Nailing Down Plans for the Class of 72's July 21st Party (and More): At the Carlson's, At the Elks, At the Lounge

 1. Joni, Jake, Carol Lee, Diane, and I drove out to the Carlson's place outside Pinehurst on the Coeur d'Alene River to survey the property and nail down details of how to do things when the Carlsons host our July 21, 2023 KHS Class of 72 get together on the afternoon of the first day of the All-Class Reunion. 

If you are a member of the KHS Class of '72, if I have your email address or if I communicate with you via Facebook Messenger, I'll be sending out a letter by early next week with details about the afternoon open house, with food and water provided for a casual dinner, and with directions to the Carlsons' property. The letter will also invite all class members who would like to help decorate our parade entry to come to the corner of Mill and Main in Kellogg around 9 a.m. on Saturday, July 22nd. 

2. We sure had fun firming things up, not only at the Carlsons' river property, but also at Burger Night at the Elks. We had fun telling stories, remembering some things from the past, drinking a beer or two, and having a most informal meeting about the July 21st party and the July 22nd parade. 

3. As our time at the Elks wound down, we decided we just hadn't quite had enough socializing with each other and several of us scooted across the street to The Lounge and continued enjoying ourselves with more stories, witty comments, delicious beer and cocktails, and good vibes. 

It's satisfying to know things are set for the Class of 72 activities on Friday and Saturday during the All-Class Reunion and that now it's a matter of getting the word out.

I'm going to jump on that task today, have Diane and Joni make sure my letter didn't leave anything out, and send out the letter in the next few days.
