Jim Marhoefer to address progress on database in association with Sharon Chez’s time and work on the database. Thank you to you both! Message from Sharon Chez: All reunion committee members will receive the continuing database in progress. Please look carefully for errors and e-mail Sharon the needed corrections: sharonfromchico@clearwire.net. Special thanks to Bob Fowler, and Shirl and Bob for their work and input into the database coordination.

REPORT at meeting by Jim Marhoefer: Jim discussed the DATABASE and the software being used. Jim and Sharon have made contact and are working together on the 2009 database gleaned from all other databases over the past 10 years. Jim and Sharon are asking assistance from the reunion committee and classmates at large for constantly looking at the ongoing lists provided and make corrections to errors, such as, incorrect addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses and send the corrections to Sharon Chez. (sharonfromchico@clearwire.net) Jim will have the core database and will be the only person to make changes to that core database.

Jim passed out alist of bad and/or no addresses of Tigers and asked the same corrections be made as previously mentioned. Bobette Corneal to present suggestions for the reunion theme.

a. Discussion: A THEME list was presented with giggles and fun comments made in remembrance of the suggested theme titles corresponding with the fun days of the 50s. Jeannie Luke suggested, ‘The Way We Were,’ with Daryl Butler also suggesting that the title could be put on the bottom of the picture nametags. Also, it was suggested that the theme music to ‘The Way We Were’ could be played in the background at the reunion.

b. Selection: THE WAY WE WERE was the final selection for the 50th 1959 Chaffey Class Reunion Theme.

Colleen O’Leary to present for approval the concept of a Hospitality Center at The Bradford House on Euclid in Ontario, California.

a. Discussion: Colleen O’Leary presented the HOSPITALITY CENTER

Presentation. She described the grounds and building (s), rational for having the Hospitality Center, funding needed especially for food, possible activities and services that would be afforded, need for recruiting help running the center and the need for a port-a-pottie. Diane Collins suggested asking Tony LaArgo to chair the committee.

b. Results: The project is pending a FINANICAL REPORT of the reunion’s expenses, savings acct balance and estimated income from ticket sales (based on an attendance of 200 people) and other funding income. A volunteer was requested to fill the position of treasurer but no one at the present time has volunteered. It is assumed that the Executive Committee will give the reunion’s financial report at the next meeting

(April/09). Barbara Logan presented the increase price from the 45th reunion dinner with an increased from $25 to $45 = 80% increase, ouch! Barbara also stated that the DoubleTree Hotel contract was for guaranteeing reservations of 30 rooms so the cost in savings for those attending would only be $84/per night.

Nita Auld to present TRAVEL FLYER to be used on the web site and emailed with encouragement to use the DoubleTree Hotel reservations first. Presentation was based on making accommodations as easy as possible so Tigers will want to come and to encourage the registration at the DoubleTree first in order to fill the quota needed under the reunion’s contract, (a special thanks to Barbara for taking on the contract responsibility).Review Tony LaArgo graphic examples and the alert postcard to be mailed

the last week in March. Talents offered:

Tony LaArgo GRAPHIC example were presented and a possible graphic page to be drawn up for Vince’s Dining House representing the place in the 1950s look to be displayed on the Reunion web site and possibly with the final invitation. He is willing to perform any and all graphics that would be needed for the reunion. A copy of the Alert postcard to be mailed at the end of March/09 was presented in the packet for those who did not attend the San Clemente Reunion Meeting.

a. Sharon Chez offered photos to be scanned for decorations and more

b. Tony is offering to assist with connecting committee mtg by telephoneconferencing and/or Internet conferencing so classmates outside the committee room can directly make comments or suggestions to the agenda and plans via the current technology processes with the assistance of possible Jim Marhoefer who brings a laptop to the meetings and understands the technology, which Tony is speaking about.

Other issues to be announced: ______________________________________

The final reunion announcement INVITATION was circulated for review and a mailing date was suggested sometime in May. The committee as of now (3/19/09) has not approved the final invitation yet.

a. Material relating to the Hospitality Center may need to be added. 3/21/09 Nita Auld spoke with Tony LaArgo about the concept of the Hospitality Center and he volunteered even before being asked to Chair the Hospitality Center Committee. He also said he would be canceling the Laughlin Get-Together as he saw the Hospitality Center would be filling the gap that was needed in getting people together and providing a fun place to meet, relax and talk throughout the two days (Thursday and Friday). Number of days to be further discussed plus what activities would be involved and how to fund the Hospitality Center are still in the planning stages with a pending proposal to be delivered to the reunion committee at the April/09 meetings.

b. It was suggested that the SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENTS be contacted to speak to the Tigers at the reunion.

1. Barbara Logan to contact Ken Payne

2. Nita Auld to contact Lowell Bosshardt

a.) Also a formal letter will be sent to them both Corrections to the February/09 reunion meeting are as follows:

a. All 1959 committee members, including the executive committee, in attendance at a reunion committee mtg will have one voting privilege on all presentations, proposals and any other issues that require a showing of hands for approval or disapproval. to be approved at the reunion committee mtg
