CHS CLASS OF 1987 20 YEAR REUNION

NOVEMBER 24, 2007

THE EVENT STARTED AT 7:00 PM WITH MINGLING, MUSIC, APPETIZERS, AND AN OPEN BAR.  THE ROOM WAS BEAUTIFLLY DECORATED IN CHS COLORS … DOWN TO THE BLUE AND YELLOW CUSTOM M&M’S!!! 80’s MUSIC WAS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND AND  DRINKS AND APPS WERE A-PLENTLY.

CLASSMATES CHECKED IN, RECEIVED THEIR HIGH SCHOOL ID BADGE-STYLE NAME TAGS.  WE WERE SO HAPPY TO SEE ALL THE MANY WALK-INS THAT CHOSE TO COME AND PAY AT THE DOOR.  WE WERE HOPING YOU’D ALL SHOW!!

AT 8:00 PM, THE BLAIR MILL INN SET UP DINNER STATIONS.  AT 8:30 PM (WHICH IN RETROSPECT TURNED OUT TO BE AT LEAST ONE COCKTAIL TOO LATE FOR MOST IN THE CROWD), JEN MOSS ATTEMPTED TO WELCOME EVERYONE, THANK THE COMMITTEE, AND INTRODUCE OUR SPECICAL GUEST, CLASS OF '87 FACULTY SPONSOR IRV WESTERMAN.  
 
AT 9:00 PM, CHS CLASS OF 2008 STUDENT REBECCA HARRIS SPOKE TO THE GROUP ABOUT WHAT CHS IS LIKE TODAY.  (OUR HARD-PARTYING CROWD, IN RETURN, SHOWED HER A BIT OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE IN OUR DAY…. FORTUNATELY, REBECCA WAS A REAL SPORT!)  AFTERWARDS, MICHELLE RODOS PRESENTED SPECIAL “REUNION ENTHUSIAST” AWARDS: 10 YEAR REUNION MUGS FILLED WITH 20 YEAR REUNION PENS FOR THEIR HELP IN FINDING THE MOST MISSING PERSONS TO:

THE REUNION COMMITTEE THEN PRESENTED THE “JOURNEY OF AN ’87 PANTHER” – A 12 MINUTE VIDEO MONTAGE.  HOW REWARDING AND FUN IT WAS TO SEE ALL OF YOUR FACES AS YOU CHEERED ALONG! 

AT 10:00 PM, DESSERT/COFFEE WAS PROVIDED AND GROUP PICTURES WERE TAKEN.  THE MINGLING, MUSIC, AND OPEN BAR CONTINUED UNTIL 11:00 PM.

NOT READY TO ‘CALL IT A NIGHT’, ABOUT 50 FOLKS (AN AMAZING NUMBER!!!) HEADED OVER TO THE HORSHAM INN …. AND
MOST STAYED PAST LAST CALL--THE INN WAS KIND ENOUGH
TO STAY OPEN X-TRA LATE FOR US!

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE FUN CONTINUED INTO THE WEE HOURS WITH A FEW AFTER-AFTER-PARTIES AT THE HOTEL.  ON SUNDAY MORNING, DRAINED FROM ALL THE FUN, WE ALL RETURN TO OUR LIVES

THE REUNION WAS A REAL BLAST - WE  REALLY HOPE AT LEAST A FEW OF YOU WILL BE INSPIRED TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FELLOW PANTHERS AND TO CONVINCE THOSE WHO DIDN'T MAKE IT THIS TIME TO JOIN US FOR THE 25TH!
