It has almost been 2 months since the Reunion and I think everyone will agree that it was a huge success and people are still talking about what a great evening it was.  For those of you who do not have Facebook or know of others who don't, I promise that I will post pictures of both the Friday and Saturday events.  There is talk of having our next reunion in 5 years instead of waiting for 10 years.  Stay tuned!  We will be asking for volunteers to help us locate missing grads!  If you think you would like to dedicate some time and effort when we start orgainizing the next reunion please let us know.  You would not have to be involved in any of the actual planning or attend meetings but just using as many resources as possible to try to locate as many missing grads as you can.  We will keep this blog open as long as we are able and will post updates along the way so keep in touch and if your contact details change please notify us at our email address at:  millikanclassof72reunion@yahoo.com.  Thank you for your interest! Janet (Harber) Cowling

Fellow Grads,

Our reunion date of August 11th is fast upon us and we are all looking forward to a fabulous time...

We currently have a long list of grads who said they were attending and to date we have not received their check. We are under contract with the restaurant to give a food guarantee in the next few weeks; unfortunately we can not count you in if we have not received your check. By paying at the door the night of the reunion means we did not include you in our guarantee.

If you are planning to attend, please respond ASAP and send in your check for $65 to: Janet (Harber) Cowling, P. O. Box 483, Los Alamitos, CA 90720. (no later than August 1st).
 
If you are thinking of showing up and not paying but still want to partake in the evening we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accomodate a late entry. So please make sure you send in your money now so you don't miss out on what is expected to be another fun reunion!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Janet (Harber) Cowling and the Reunion Committee
