June 6, 2013 - Reunion Tickets
Reunion Tickets
The 45th reunion for the RHS Class of 1968 will be held on August 24, 2013, from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm at the Fayetteville Train Depot, 250 Lanier Avenue East, Fayetteville, GA 30214. Tickets for the reunion will be $10 per person, mainly to cover the cost of renting the venue. Bob Mathews has graciously agreed to keep track of all this, so please send your check or money order to: Bob Mathews, 25 Adams Road, Covington, Ga., 30014 (please write "Russell High Class of 68 45th Reunion" on the memo line). Please do so by 08-01-13, so that we will have a good idea about how many people are coming.
Holiday Inn Express
The Holiday Inn Express in Fayetteville has agreed to block off some rooms for reunion attendees until 08-01-13 for $85 for the evening of the reunion. This hotel is within walking distance of the Depot, and the contact number is 770-461-5600. There is also a Hampton Inn less than a mile away on Hwy 54 going west.
Potluck Sign-Up List
The reunion event will be a potluck dinner and BYOB. Ice, soft drinks and iced tea will be provided, as well as plates, cup, forks, spoons, knives, napkins, table cloths, etc. There is a Sign-Up List on our class website (rhs68.blogspot.com) so that you can tell everyone what you are planning to bring, and thus hopefully allowing a bit of coordination. For out of town guests, bachelors, etc., there are a number of grocery stores about 1 mile south of the Depot on Hwy 85, and going north on Hwy 85 for about 1.5 miles there is a Popeye's fried chicken. Yum.
Many who attended the 40th reunion expressed the sentiment that it was the best reunion ever, and it really was fun. However, I personally think the 45th reunion will be the best reunion ever!
Looking forward to seeing you all in August,
Joe
