We thought it would be fun to kick off the registration for our 2025 Class Reunion with a Chain letter/Recipe drive!!!  Just kidding!  You don't have to send me your favorite recipe, just send send Kathy Smith Gambs $40.00 using the methods mentioned below to register/pay for the class reunion!  Hopefully you have used a black Sharpie (retained from a paying job before retirement) to mark Saturday, September 20, in big bold letters on your paper calendar!

As you may or may not recall, our last reunion was at the Lafayette Brewing Company and was $50.00 for a buffet dinner which was quite good.  I can't remember what we had to eat but I do know that the Pino Grigio was quite tasty!  The 2025 reunion being held  at the iconic Lafayette Country Club from 4:00-8:00pm is $10 bucks cheaper!!!!  Yes, that would be $40.00!  HOW CAN THIS BE?   I really have no idea what went on at the negotiating table but my advice is never sell a used car or Fire Engine to Kathy Smith Gambs, you won't come out ahead!  The $40 includes the tip for the servers!  WOW!  You will however have to cough up a few bucks for alcoholic beverages.  Just don't cough too much or we will force you to take a COVID test!!

Here is the menu Count Down -

1. House Salad with Ranch and French Dressings, Shredded Parmesan Cheese on the Side
2. Rolls and Butter
3. Fresh Sliced Fruit
4. Tenderloin Beef Tips with Tri-color Peppers, Onion and Wild Rice
5. Lightly Breaded Chicken Thigh with Smoked Tomato Cream Sauce
6. Fresh Seasonal Vegetable Blend
7. Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

Doesn't that all sound delicious!  We would love it if you all could register/pay by August 1.  If that is not possible, let Kathy or me know.  You can register/pay using your preferred electronic payment tool (Zelle, Venmo etc.)  with Paypal being preferred (but not mandatory):

1. Paypal -  Simply access your Paypal account, click on that SEND button and type in Kathy Smith Gambs's email address psekm@aol.com, put in the amount of $40.00 ($80.00 if you bring a guest/spouse/partner/emotional support person etc.), make a note that it is for the Class of 70 and indicate the name of the guest, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, choose the payment type of FRIENDS AND FAMILY, and finish it up with SEND.  Click here to view screen shots from my iPhone as I navigated a process so simple, even I can do it!  How To Pay Using PayPal

Here is the link to Paypal if you need it:   https://www.paypal.com

If you pay with another e-pay payment option, just be sure you have the correct email address psekm@aol.com or phone number 765-426-4829.  If you don't want to mess with e-pay because you are having a bad hair day (or no hair at all day), you can also just mail a check!

2. Paper Check (GASP!) - simply send Kathy an email (or paper mail) and write a check to her with the notation, Class of 70 Reunion (and guest name) and carefully place the check in an envelope that you no longer get the joy of licking, put a stamp on it (can't lick those anymore either) and address as follows:

Kathy Gambs, 10101 S 200 E, Lafayette, Indiana 47909

As we recently publicized, our event is only ONE brief fleeting night encompassed by the alumni weekend that involves a football game, a fish fry and a golf outing.  We can take no credit nor blame for those events.  Here is a link to the Alumni Weekend Page.

Sincerely,

Laurie and Your Class of 70 Reunion Committee!

P.S. If you have some lame excuse, like open heart surgery or a lifesaving hair transplant, and you can't meet that time frame, rest assured, we will accept stragglers.  We won't talk about you behind your back but we will remember it like it was important instead of remembering why we went into the bathroom!
