I was hoping this could cover phone calls, websites I joined…. Any little bill I forgot to record.

Does anyone who helped track people down need to be reimbursed for phone?

So, folks this is a pool of your money tell me what to do with it what’s left…........

Once again, thank you everyone for a great weekend, I hope you and your families had a great time…....

Tess, now retired from reunion planning….... FOREVER!!!! :)

Special thanks to Sloan, Lisa, Rochene, Graham and Weston for donating food, bbq’s and tables etc….. on Sunday…....

The reunion was a blast! If not a bit overwhelming to see so many familiar faces in such a short span—it could have gone on for a couple weeks before I had time enough to catch up with everyone. Hope to see more of everyone over the coming years.

Hey everyone, we will probably start the picnic earlier like 1pm or so. How does that sound? Come when you want though…....

So far 41 classmates have paid the reunion fee (thanks!). Teresa has been footing the bill for much of the reunion activities while payments roll in. It would be great if you’re attending to pay Teresa in the next few days.

How do I pay?

1. Paypal the funds directly to tessamessy@yahoo.com
2. mail a check the old fashioned way:
   Caterinichio/1986 Reunion
   20719 Williamsburg Drive
   Eagle River, Alaska 99577

How much do I pay?
$125 for a single
$175 for a family

Hey! I paid, but I’m not on the paid list.
Sorry Charlie. Reply to this entry and Hal will update the paid list.

Is there a registration form?
Yep. It’s helpful for Teresa, but not totally necessary if you don’t have a printer handy. Click here for the registration form.

Now that we’ve got the air cleared, I shall be the first to buy Teresa a shot for all her hard work. See you freaks in a couple weeks!

Hello everyone. I am afraid I have to cancel the zoo and switch us to Lyn Ary Park(thanks for the correction). I hope this does not upset anyone, if so please let me know. The zoo is really expensive. After reviewing the budget the money spent on reserving the zoo can be better spent on food and drinks. Please e-mail me with any concerns…. Thanks, teresa

P.S. for those of you who are coming but have not sent in money, please please now is the time. I have to work with what I have in our account today and I would hate for us to have to eat beans an lil smokies all weekend long…..:):):)

If anyone plays Tennis, I have reserved the tennis courts…... Just bring your gear
