Happy Valentines - 7 March Meeting

Hello Batch mates,

Happy Valentines! Since no one volunteered to host the March meeting, I would like to host the March meeting at my [new - I've been there! Mod] residence at Escondido, on March 7 at 1PM. Please respond if everyone is agreeable on the date and time.

Please keep in mind that September is not that far and we need to finalize our reunion plans, mail invitations, etc. So far, we only have 38 confirmed to attend; we need a minimum of 60 people [we need 22 more - Mod]. Please start calling our classmates close to your area and spread the news of our upcoming reunion.

Thanks,

Edna

"We're about 7 months before our 35th Reunion and we still have lots to do. I can host the meeting every month but I would like to extend it to other officers who also want to host the meeting. Please email the date and time if you want to host meeting at your place."
