Tour Stop A: Blast From The Past Museum at Thomas Signs, 1515 Fairlane Ave (Be prepared to be WOWED-you won’t want to miss this!!!) Those staying at the Clarion can take the Clarion’s shuttle to this tour first so we divide up the tours a little. Self Guided Tours Stops B & C: Junior High & High School campuses While at the old Junior High campus, be sure to go to the MHS Alumni Museum located in the East wing, bottom floor. Say "Hi" to Bruce Slater’s brother, Don, and see what some of our classmates have donated. While touring the high school campus, note the Wall of Fame by the office. The Indian on the wall was saved by the MHS Alumni Association and holds a place of honor on the wall. Many of us remember “shining” the Indian or making others do the “shining” while at the high school. 12:00 pm: Lunch at Vista (at own expense) 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm: Bowling (at own expense) Zucky’s Bowling - by the Clarion (old Wildcat Lanes).

ROOMS AT THE CLARION The Clarion (530 Richards Dr.) is giving us a special group rate of $99/room for the reunion. Call 785-539-5311 and ask for the MHS Class of 1970 reunion rates. Rooms must be booked at the Clarion by Friday, June 4, 2010, to get the group rate.

SILENT AUCTION Our response to the Silent Auction at the last reunion was good so we’re going to do it again. Any funds we get from the auction will help pay for expenses for our next reunion and upgrading our website. The auction will start at Friday Night’s get-together and conclude at Saturday night’s program. You can contribute single items or group items together with your friends to put together a theme basket from your work, your artistic talents or any theme or items you want. Be prepared to outbid classmates to raise more funds. We have two themes started: An Elvis theme and a Blast From the Past theme. Bring your items to the reunion Friday night or get them to Nancy (Gourley) Larson so we can start putting baskets together. Think about contributing items (whether you’re coming or not) Be a part of the fun!!

DJ/KARAOKE/DANCING We’ve booked a DJ who does karaoke as well as music for dancing. Get your friends together for a group rendition or do a solo karaoke number. We’ll have a few props (sunglasses, hats, inflatable instruments, boas, etc.) feel free to dress up. Get your Supremes, Beatles , Beach Boy or Blues Brothers number ready to go.

UPDATE INFO Whether you’re coming or not, please update your biography and help us locate our "Missing". Send your information by e-mail or with your registration.
