thank you cards & money to Thom Collegiate

No, the contact list is not done.....YET! but the thank you cards have been sent and so has the money raised for Thom Collegiate. I also included a short note with the money, which Cheryl, the secretary of the school, shortened a bit and put in the school announcements. My letter was as follows:

8 Sept 07

Dear Students of Thom Collegiate:

On July 19, 2008, the Thom Collegiate Class of 1978 had a 30 year high school reunion. The reunion was a success in many ways. One way was that we raised $420.00 in a 50/50 draw and a silent auction, which, we would like to donate to our high school to be used towards a purchase that can be enjoyed by the Thom Collegiate students of today.

Additionally, if I can offer any words of wisdom to those of you in high school now, it would be to HAVE REUNIONS and make sure you attend them. It has been said that, “it’s about the journey, not the destination”. Your high school years will be a part of that journey as will be your classmates. So, when possible, take a trip down memory lane of YOUR journey and go to your reunions. They are well worth it and a lot of fun!

Sincerely,

Kate (Toth) Mitchell
Organizer
Class of 1978 30th High School Reunion

Next Project.......THE CONTACT LIST! I will try to have it done by Christmas! (and only if anyone reads this blog will they know I said this. lol)
