TIME FOR THE 2012 CONNELL
HIGH SCHOOL REUNION HAS ARRIVED
Mark your calendars for August
10-12, 2012
GREETINGS FROM YOUR 2012 CONNELL HIGH SCHOOL REUNION COMMITTEE!
Here we are, almost three years later since the 2009
reunion and the 2012 Reunion Committee is again putting together an
exciting program to make you feel welcome and entertained. In order
to keep the reunion rejuvenated and have full participation, the
committee has decided to add two more classes.
A Big Welcome for 1969 and 1970 alumni to our All Class Reunion.
We start this year’s reunion experience with an
added attraction: Friday August 10th,
a no host “Gathering of Eagles” at Michael Jay’s. Join us and
reconnect with classmates while listening to live music playing
softly in the background. On Saturday, August 11th,
pick up your name tag at the Pioneer Park sign-in booth. The
“Registration Gang” will be there to help you and answer any
questions you may have. The stories just get funnier at each
reunion. Bring your favorite pictures and enjoy a great picnic lunch
under the covered picnic area. Picnic tables are available; however,
you’re encouraged to bring lawn chairs if possible. The
picnic will be followed by an optional no host pre-function at
Michael Jay’s Restaurant.
The reunion committee has planned an outstanding
banquet and program to be held at the Connell Community Center. The
banquet will begin with registration at the door for Social Hour and
group pictures. There will be “old tunes”, visiting and more
visiting, door prizes, introductions and recognitions, honoring
classes 60-61-62 on their 50 years since graduation, an enjoyable
dinner, and much more. Following the banquet, there will be an
optional no host post-function at Michael Jay’s Restaurant featuring
live soft music. On Sunday, August 12th,
classmates can enjoy a no-host brunch at Michael Jay’s to resume
visiting, promise to stay in touch, and say “see you next time”.

MISSING ANNUALS FROM CHS YEARBOOK
COLLECTION
Please help us. Each year the CHS
Reunion Committee purchases a CHS annual adding to the CHS 1905-1968
Alumni Reunion collection at the Connell Library. We now have
68 years of CHS annuals and are only missing eight (8) publications.
The missing annuals are 1971, 1973, 1974, 1982, 1985, 1991, 1995 and
1999 (no annuals were printed in the 1930's). If you have an
annual from the missing years and would like to donate, please
contact Danell Hudlow.
2009 Reunion Pictures
Your webmaster had to
make sure you saw this picture Carol Berry took of Ron. Anyone
who knows Ron will recognize this Ron Colley facial expression.

So
far if it wasn't for Megan, Carol and Bob we wouldn't have these great
photos. Come on, there has to be more. Send yours

CHS 2009 REUNION COMMITTEE
Want to take part in preserving Connell's history?
Here is the architect's
conceptual design for the Connell Heritage Museum building
expansion. The Museum Board of Directors has formed a committee to
pursue the proposed project. The Building Committee is currently
developing marketing and funding strategies to secure long-term
financing & community support necessary for this new asset. They
anticipate that the majority of funding will come from government
and private foundation grants; however, community interest and
support is a major force in this endeavor.
The Committee’s core volunteer
group is in place and looking for others to participate in this
project. Individuals with a “Can Do Attitude”, communication and
computer skills, document control, or marketing experience are
encouraged to contact the committee chairman. What a great
opportunity to invest in the past and future of North Franklin
County communities. Please consider being a part of this
organization.
The Building Committee’s near
term goal is to have a full-scale project plan in place ready to
kick-off this spring when the Museum opens. For further information,
contact Arnold Hudlow 509-234-7281, Committee Chairman.
