Including myself, we had eleven people (Leita Rue Baten, Jack Blackburn, Barbie and David Carlisle, Cammie and Randy Doyal, Juanita McBee, Janice Pearson, and my parents, Betty and Tom Richter) to attend our first reunion workday on Saturday, July 19, to prepare 400+ invitations to put in the mail on August 1. Thankfully it only took us about an hour and a half to get the job done with so many helping because it was quite a multi-step process. Just putting tabs on the invitation mailers to meet postal regulations in addition to keeping the inner reply envelopes from sliding out proved to be the most tedious task of the process. Without giving names or ages, some of us had trouble just getting the tabs off the sheets not to mention being able to see the perforation mark to correctly affix them to the mailers, but it was fun to reminisce about certain individulas as we came across their invitation. Keep in mind these "postal workers" were volunteers! Please be understanding and forgiving if your stamp is upside down, you get two reply envelopes instead of one, or if your tabs are slightly skewed and not porportionantly placed on your invitation!
The last few minutes of our time together was spent preparing the table decorations. This task was a little "too girly" for some of the guys, but they gave it their best shot anyway. Enjoy the photos below and be watching for your invitation to hit your mailbox in the next week or so.
