Monthly Coffee Hour Tuesday August 27th - Starbucks at Exit 232

We had a great time at Darlene and Joel’s last month!  Lots of people came for the event – because there was food?  No!  It was for the company!

Our regular monthly coffee hour will be Tuesday, August 27^th!  5ish to 7ish.  We’re back to our regular schedule - at the same place we always meet…see subject line. 

Lots of road work going on in SW right now.  They’re rerouting the east end of the Cook Road to run between Walgreen’s and Bingham Park, and terminate on Hwy 20 in a traffic circle.  This will be a big change and the area where the contractors are working will be closed until mid-October.  Traffic is being rerouted on the Trail Road.  Here’s the official notice – it includes a map:

There is other roadwork going on at the same time – most notably on State Street near Paula Wilcox Brunn’s house!

Then, they’re going to install the permanent repair to the Skagit River bridge some time soon and I-5 will be closed and rerouted again during the installation.  There seems to be a traffic crew or an orange barrel everywhere you look!

To repeat myself:  If you want to be on the SWHS Alumni Association’s newsletter distribution, let me know.  And if you run into a Class of 71 member who is not on this distribution list, have them contact me to get on!

Detour on over to Starbucks next Tuesday.  We’ll be there! 

Update on coffee hour meeting place

Last night we decided that we like the Starbucks at Exit 232 because it's easy access and close proximity for so many of us. So we're planning to have our monthly coffee hour (on the LAST Tuesday of the month) there for the foreseeable future.

Come and join us! It's fun to visit and we're planning OUR 40-year reunion!

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!
