Best. Coffee. Hour. Ever.

Actually, I think we have had a couple of events with a few more folks, but last night we had 12 at our monthly coffee hour! So great to see everyone. You know who you are. We discussed the reunion in July - we are generally agreed that we will have strawberry shortcake for dessert! We find ourselves leaning toward "traditional" Pacific Northwest foods for the dinner. And our musical mixmaster, Gary, will be preparing a mix tape of background music from the 1960's and (very) early 1970's. If you have suggestions, be sure to let him know!

[Do they even use the expression, "mix tape" any more?]

Plan on coming to our coffee hour on February 22nd at the Starbucks at exit 232. We always have fun!

Monthly Coffee Hour - Jan. 25th - change of place!



Class of 71 will have our monthly coffee hour on Tuesday, January 25th, at Starbucks - the one at the Cook Road exit off I-5 (exit 232). We normally meet at Common Ground in Burlington, but they have decided to close at 5 p.m. on weeknights during the winter months. So for January and February, we're moving to the Cook Road Starbucks. After that, we'll get back to our regular schedule at Common Ground.



We have found contact info for 114 class members so far! You know why we're looking...because of our 40-year reunion July 9th!!! If you aren't "found" yet, contact us via this blog!

And start thinking about our Loggerodeo parade entry - plan on riding in the parade this year!

Also up next week - the Sedro-Woolley High School Alumni Association meets Wednesday the 26th at 1 p.m. at the S-W Senior Center.
