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 .

Monthly coffee hour Tuesday, September 27th!

Fall is in the air!  So a hot latte (or beverage of your choice) at The Woolley Market sounds great!

See you Tuesday the 27th from 5ish to 7ish on the ground floor.  Do a little shopping while you're there and support our downtown businesses! 

Cruise on down tomorrow and see who is there!  We'll be looking for YOU!

Monthly coffee hour, Tuesday, August 30th 5ish to 7ish

The HEAT of summer should taper off by Tuesday when we meet for coffee at The Woolley Market!  But they have lovely cool beverages as well as the hot ones.  Come on and meet us there!


We're sitting downstairs now instead of on the mezzanine.  There is another business upstairs and the seating has become more limited.  So we thought we'd leave it to the young people and save our knees on those stairs.

There's always lots to talk about and interesting things going on.  Be part of the conversation!

See you August 30th! 

Class of 71 45-year reunion was July 2, 2016!!

Class of 71 45-year reunion July 2, 2016 and coffee hour May 31!

 

Hey, SWHS Class of 71!

We have a plan for our 45-year reunion.  We just need you!  Here it is:

Saturday, July 2, 5:00 to ???  Yes, you can come early.  Don’t know yet what exact time we’ll serve dinner.

At Sue Ann Bryson’s house – same as last time.  Parking on site.
Dinner:  $15 per person, all prepared for you.
Menu:  Salmon, chicken, salads (various), desserts (various), soft drinks, and water.
Grill Chef:  Gary Rothenbuhler
Other food prep:  Take your chances

This date was selected by the group at our pot luck last summer.  It is right smack dab in the middle of Loggerodeo, so there are lots of things to do all weekend.  For a full listing visit:

www.loggerodeo.org  (this is the official site, in spite of a cybersquatter stealing one of their other URLs)

Yes, we’ll need some help getting things ready in the week prior to the reunion.  If you are a local, plz plan to help out.

Invitations:  Everyone on the e’mail list is getting this e’mail invitation.  Others, for whom I have a mailing address but no e’mail address, will get a quick paper copy of this text.  If you know someone who is not on my list at all (just ask) or if you run into class members at Costco, be sure to remind them of the July 2^nd date!!

You can send your checks now to my PO Box.  Check your e'mail for the address or leave contact info here and I'll send it to you.  

Nancy Handy Scott and I will keep track of the reservations.  Plz pay in advance so we know how many are coming. 

At the last reunion we kept things pretty basic.  A group photo before the sun goes down, buffet dinner, lots of visiting. 

If you need more info on motels, RV facilities, or anything, please ask ASAP.  Some folks might like to meet up in the afternoon before our event. 

Yes, we’re having our monthly coffee hour on Tuesday, May 31^st at the Woolley Market.  5ish to 7ish.  We will probably finalize our plans for food prep, etc. 

We’ve done this so many times that we all kind of know what to do!!  If you can’t join us on July 2^nd, feel free to send a letter or photos that we can display for others to read at the party.  But we hope everyone can come!  We had such a great turnout last time. 

Monday, July 4^th, we’ll have an entry in the Loggerodeo Parade.  Let’s see…why don’t we have a flatbed trailer with hay bales?  What a fresh idea!  Actually, it’s the tradition.  We have the banners from last time.  Wear red, white and blue!  Line up for the parade about 10-10:30.  It starts at 11.  Trailer is already reserved and I’m doing the parade entry forms. Not sure yet who is pulling the trailer – still need a truck and driver.  There will be stepstools…

Remember that there are Sedro-Woolley t-shirts and sweatshirts at Oliver Hammer and Rite Aid. 

See you all soon!!
