It's from Fred Delaney Douglass Alumni president and John Hogans, III, president of the Slater alumni:
THE FORMER SLATER HIGH SCHOOL, BRISTOL, TENNESSEE
THE FORMER DOUGLASS HIGH SCHOOL, BRISTOL, VIRGINIA
GREETINGS FELLOW ALUMNI AND TEACHERS,
We hope that you and your family had an enjoyable summer, and all is well with you.
Planning for Reunion 2008 is about 75 per cent complete, thanks to our hard working committess. Our planning reveals that due to the cost increase from our vendors and suppliers of services, we must increase the reunion fees to $115.00. The package deal will be $105.00, a savings of $10.00 if you register before May 1, 2008.
We are asking you to make an extra effort to attend this reunion, for it will be a sign to your local leadership that you wish to continue our reunion celebrations. Our numbers have been decreasing for the last few years and we need your support and attendance in order to keep the celebration alive. Register early, so that we can complete our plans and ensure space for all.
If attendance drops significantly, this will be our last reunion of this magnitude. There are several changes in this newsletter, so please take note and plan accordingly.
Let's all commit to come to Reunion 2008 and enjoy one more time the fellowship of our classmates, teachers and friends.
(signed)
Fred Delaney, President, DSAA
John E. Hogans III, President, SHSAA
