Monthly Coffee Hour May 28th at the Woolley Market!

Another monthly gathering and I think there might be a mystery guest this time!  Not sure...that's what makes it a mystery..

We love these LONG days because it's still light when we break up at 7 p.m.

This is the prettiest time of the year in the Pacific Northwest with all our rhodies in bloom.  The state flower.  Lots of other plants in bloom, too!



Sadly, I report that our friend, teacher, mentor, and role model, Jerry Sommerseth passed away on April 23.  The day after Earth Day, which he taught us to observe.  His memorial service will be on Saturday, June 22nd, which would have been his birthday, at Central United Methodist Church on the Polte Road in Sedro-Woolley.  I hope we have a big Class of 71 turnout for this event, as we have had for so many others.  His leadership lives on.  A very big legacy.

So meander on down to the Woolley Market on Tuesday the 28th and enjoy the company of your compatriots!  We'll be watching for you!

Early Warning:  The June coffee hour will be on June 25th.

Another Early Warning:  We will be having our annual pot luck in July at Shirley's.  Watch for the date.

Still Another Early Warning:  Yes, we are starting to talk about our 50-year class reunion in 2021!  July 4th parade entry, reunion gathering, etc.  Anything you'd like to recommend?

April coffee hour - Tuesday, April 30th! 5ish to 7ish

We have a coffee hour every month, even if it doesn't get posted here.  And we send out an e'mail reminder to all class members who have provided their e'mail addresses.

So this month it's on April 30th - always the "last" Tuesday of the month.  And it's always at the Woolley Market in downtown Sedro-Woolley.  The Woolley Market has been evolving!  They have great food prepared in the deli and a "beer wall" in addition to beverages.  Lots of live entertainment (other than us).  It's a super addition to our downtown scene. 

The one exception to our coffee hour schedule is our class pot luck in July.  And we'll pick a date for that, independent of our regular "last Tuesday" tradition.  The pot lucks are normally at Shirley Hooper Knapp's and they have really been fun.

So tiptoe on down to the Woolley Market on April 30th and see who is there!  We'll be waiting for you!

Class of 71 first coffee hour of 2019! Tuesday, January 29th

Our January coffee hour will be

Tuesday the 29^th! 

5ish to 7ish.

We had some rarely-seen attendees at the December coffee hour.  What?  You weren’t there?  You missed out!

The Woolley Market is changing things up and we are enjoying the changes.  The “beer wall” is popular and so are the new café items. 

We have had an especially mild winter here in Sedro-Woolley.  Lots of flowers coming up already.  If we don’t have a last minute freeze, SPRING is likely to be REALLY EARLY!!

February coffee hour will be Tuesday, February 26^th!

So trot on over to the Woolley Market on Tuesday!  We’ll be looking for you!

 

Monthly coffee hour - Tuesday, October 30th!

Yes, we still meet monthly for our famous "coffee hour" and lots of conversation!

Always on the "last" Tuesday of the month (unless that day is a holiday) and from 5ish to 7ish at The Woolley Market. 

We had a great summer gathering at Shirley's in July and traded lots of stories from the olden days.  Full of laughs and memories.  We don't seem to look any older!

 

 

YOU are welcome to come and

see what these get-togethers are all about!

 

 

Monthly Coffee Hour - Tuesday, April 24, 2018 at The Woolley Market!

Even though this blog hasn't been updated in a while...we are still having our monthly coffee hours!  We never miss!!  This all started when we were anticipating our 40-year reunion and now we're marching toward our 50-year reunion!

But that “last” Tuesday is sneaking up on us this month.  It is early!  Must be because we all still think it’s winter here.  Weather is projected to be warmer this week, but we’ll believe it when we see it.

So our monthly coffee hour is Tuesday, April 24^th from 5ish to 7ish at The Woolley Market! 

Tulip Festival is in full swing right now!  This is a great week to go to the tulip fields – word is that you don’t need your mud boots any more.

Woolley Market has new owners and is putting more emphasis on meals!  Eat on site or take it home!

So ease on over to the Woolley Market tomorrow and see who’s there!  

Our May coffee hour will be Tuesday, May 29^th .
