Teresa, how about after you reimburse those that overpaid, and reimb people for expenses (including yourself), so that everyone is squared up, you give what is leftover to Brother Francis Shelter?

Thanks again for all your hard work, you did a great job.

Thanks for the accounting and handling the whole organization of the reunion. I could barely get my ticket up to Anchorage—you’ve been working on this for months and I know everyone totally appreciates all your hard work.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I agree with Chris. You can send the extra funds to the Brother Francis Shelter.

I made a few phone calls and sent a few letters, but I’d MUCH rather have the change sent to charity! I don’t need any reimbursement.

Thanks for everything Theresa! It was a great weekend!!!!!!

Thank you for organizing all the events, you were awesome and everything ran smoothly. You even managed to stop the rain with your super powers!

Honestly, I appreciate the hard work you put into making the reunion memorable and it paid off. Thanks again!

Hi, it’s Mark. Here’s an idea, Open an account and put the money there for the 25 year. Who ever wants to run/organize that event will have something to start with… All events were fun Thanx to all… Mark and family..

I think all of those ideas are great, but holy cow! What a lot of time and effort it took on your part! I say treat yourself to a pedicure/manicure ($50 w/ tip at Cali nails) and have a nice meal at Club Paris! : )

Or, see if you can buy the rights to the group picture! I don’t want to spring for the whole CD, but I’d love just a 5×7 or 8×10 of us at the park! : )Nena

Teresa,

I wasn’t able to come, but I did get a lot out of hearing from people and findingout what everyone was up to. Thanks a million for your efforts in putting this together.

Can’t add anymore to what was already said. Make sure you take care of those who helped out up in AK by taking them out for happy hour somewhere.

Anything left over give to a charity. Maybe even to West High – could we buy a Kevin Ellis masterpiece and donate it to the school or a complete set of Maktub CD’s or maybe photography lessons from Norm or…hell just do what your gut tells you and we’ll still support you in the morning.

Teresa – phenomenal job. Thanks! And Dan, I echo everything Christina said about creating the online ice breaker. It’s been fun. And thanks to every one who showed concern about my flights. I clearly bitched and moaned a lot, judging from the number of people who asked how the flights went! We’d do it again in a minute. We had a great time, and it was fun to catch up with every one. Some of the highlights and observations from my point of view:

1) Jenny Ross is a super competent mom. She was at that family picnic alone with her three kids, and she wasn’t even crying, and she clearly could just as easily had 30 kids with her.
2) We have a lot of bald dudes in our class, and every last one of you look 100 times better than you did in high school. Who would have thought!? It’s a great look!
3) Dale Topkok – you do not scare me anymore.
4) There is no party ambience like the West Anchorage suburban rec room/basement. I was trying to figure out how to bottle it, so I could sell it back east.

Teresa, you did a great and thankless job organizing the reunion, my instinct is that you take the leftover money to replenish the hefty dent that your planning “help” put into your wine stash (Who was that guy?). Of course charity isn’t a bad idea either. Regardless, my vote is for you to do what you think is best. I truly hope we continue to get together, I have really enjoyed finding that someone else with kids the same age lives nearby.

Teresa’s so great, Teresa’s so wonderful, Teresa did so much. Blah Blah Blah. Please. That girl is already so full of herself, damn Sicilian. How about give the $165 to the people who hauled around 895 pounds of groceries for the reunion? Or cleaned her house out? Or drank her $400 bottles of wine that were years and years old – not even any of the new stuff? WHAT is Nena thinking, giving it back to you?
Okay, all fun aside, I guess you did an okay job. No for real this time: You got MY ass up there, and that’s saying something. Okay, okay: I’ll give credit where credit’s due…your best friend is awesome, where’d you find her? Oh Alright…..YOU ARE A SUPER SICILIAN AND THIS WAS AN EVENT TO BE CHERISHED AND MEMORIALIZED AND RANKED RIGHT UP THERE WITH ALL MAJOR HISTORICAL EVENTS IN THE LAST DECADE. I love you Teresa, you know that. You did a great job and there was evidence of that in all the fun our classmates had. Go ahead, keep the $165…buy me a present with it. :)

So, just so we’re clear: you’re doing the 25th Reunion, too?
