Place: Richardson Event Center Comments: Sammy - Nothing special about that date, BUT, All hotels have cut-off dates of when you have to give a final head count. It has to do with Food, Drinks, Tables, etc. Allowing 2 - 4 days for mail to get here, we reach the cut-off date to make changes. Speaking of Food . . . As everyone should know by now, we're not having a formal sit-down plated dinner like we've done at the reunions. There will be a line of tables set up with Chipotle Roasted Turkey Breast & Prim Rib along with breads so you can make sliders. Also, salsa, queso & chips, deviled eggs, egg rolls & sauce, cheese tray, fruit tray and of course Birthday Cake for dessert. There will also be ice tea & coffee and all of this is included in your $20 registration fee. it's all self-serve. Of course there will be a Cash Bar inside the room as well. I'm going to eat a big late lunch before I head to the hotel.
Place: Dallas Comments: Sandy, we can't thank you enough for all the hard work you put in to make all our events special. Ummm August 31st heh? What's so special about that day?
Place: 70th B-day Update Comments: Great News! Yesterday was my semi-final meeting with hotel to go over layout and details. Also to pay balance! I'm feeling really good because I got us that extra space I think we need AND, wait for it . . . with no extra cost! Just call me Smooth Talkin' Sandy. ![[wink]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif "Wink - ;)") I can now add more tables if needed and we won't be crowded. That means all of you who procrastinated and haven't sent your check, send it now. All checks MUST be in the mail by 8-31. No walk-ups will be allowed. We have 86 people registered to attend as of last night. Here's the link to our Attending list - - check it out. http://www.soc1966.com/70th-b-day-attendance-list.html
Place: NH Comments: Sammy, Shirley is in my prayers. Please let her know. She has had a lot going on.
Place: Richardson Comments: Sammy - You know I love that crazy Shirley and I will definitely be praying for "nothing" to show up. Will keep her in my prayers.
Place: Sachse Comments: Sam, please tell Shirley we are praying for her and expecting a good outcome.
Place: Dallas Comments: All, please say a prayer for our dear friend Shirley Mullins. For quite some time now Shirley has had issues with her liver. She went for a routine visit to her specialist and was told she needed an ultrasound and CT SCAN as something did not feel right. She has the ultrasound scheduled for this Thursday. The CT SCAN has not been scheduled as of today. Please pray for both tests to be negative results for abnormalities.

Place: Richardson Comments: We like to watch the Nightly National News that comes on here from 5:30 to 6:00pm. Last night watching Ch 11 (CBS) they had quite a few clips, photos and songs from Aretha. But the tease was that later they would disclose info about her big hit RESPECT. About last 6-7 minutes they interviewed her about the song and gave a bunch of info. I did not know the song was original written & sung by Otis Redding in 1965. Her new & improved version was in 1967!! They played a bit of Otis' version & then Aretha's version. She said she & her sister punched it up with some background singers and the infamous "Sock it to me" chorus. I was so glad I was watching CBS last night because it was really a good tribute.
Place: Richardson Comments: Sadly, Aretha Franklin passed away earlier today. R-E-S-P-E-C-T, you earned it Aretha. RIP. |
