- ABOUT THE REUNION -   

      Hello, there!  If you are on our mailing list, you should have received your Invitation to the 2018 All School Reunion by now.  If not, you can send us an email from the link below and we will be glad to mail you an invitation.  When you receive the invitation, please complete it and return it along with your check as soon as possible.

    "All School" means we have folks attending who may have graduated from HHS anywhere from 1940 all the way to 2008, and we are always striving to include later classes, as well.  Unfortunately, we have little to no contact information on those later classes, so if you know someone who would like to attend in the future, please encourage them to get their contact information to us and we will do our best to include them.  

    If you've never been to one of our reunions, or if it has been a long time since you attended, we sincerely hope that you will seriously consider attending this year.  We don't exactly get "wild and crazy," but we do have a really great time…and many of us seem to like one another better now than we did when we were in high school!  It's always so nice to see everyone and catch up on their lives.  Don't worry…we're all older, fatter, grayer, balder, etc.  Well, at least MOST of us are!

    The events are separately priced, so that you can attend one or all of the events.  Every year some people come for just the lunch; some just for the dinner and dance; and some attend both.  And every year someone always makes the statement "I sure wish so-and-so were here."  Then, we tell them: "They were here for lunch and you only came for the dinner!"  So, people miss seeing old classmates they might really like to see if they attend only one of the functions.  If possible, we really encourage you to attend both.  While the music is great, not everyone dances, so you don't need to worry about either.  

    Aquilla Mahler (Class of '66) has made a gorgeous quilt specifically to be raffled off to benefit our reunions.  Tickets will be sold for $5 each.  You may purchase your ticket at the reunion, or you may include that cost in your registration fee, and your raffle ticket will be included in your registration packet.  Because the quilt raffle tickets proceeds all go toward the Reunion Fund, I want to be transparent that tickets are NOT being sold only to Holliday alumni.  As Aquilla has said: "I'll sell a chance to anyone who waves $5 in front of my nose. We need the money!"  And, that we do!  There is considerable cost to producing the reunion: paper, ink, postage, labels (address and return), venue, music, food, linens, cleanup, raffle tickets, etc. We send out almost 600 invitations, so the pre-union costs are significant.

    We also need a few volunteers to assist with the reunion: 4 people to help set up/decorate early (about AM) Saturday morning; 2 people to help man the registration table; 2 people to man the raffle ticket sales; 2 people to help with the paperwork during the class photo session; and 4 people to help put chairs on tables AFTER the event in preparation for the cleanup crew.  So, that's 14 people we need! Please le me know if you can volunteer to help with any of this work.

    We hope to see those registrations come rolling in soon.  See you there!
