Final Schedule for 2010 Raider Reunion Weekend, Aug 6-8

There is something for EVERYONE in our Class of 1985 - and those visiting with our class - during our 25 year reunion gala weekend!

Friday, Aug 6

Tommy Harrington is hosting an informal, unofficial, casual dance that evening at The Ballroom on Hamlet Avenue in Hamlet. The cost of that event is NOT part of your registration fee for the official events.

Meanwhile, now for a special message from Karen Strong Allen, Misty Britton Barnes, and other women from the Class of 1985 who are having a "Ladies' Night Out" in Pinehurst:

"Misty Britton Barnes, Kim Payne Leberth, Robin Thrower McRae, and Karen Strong Allen are having dinner at the Bell Tree downtown Southern Pines on Friday, August 6th at 7:30! Please come join us if you'd like."

Check in with any of them via their email or Facebook accounts for more information, or I can put you in touch with them. This is also an unofficial event..

I've heard of other small groups of classmates getting together. As I get the specifics on those and if the organizers would like those gatherings publicized, then I'll update the blog post here.

Saturday, Aug 7

A casual Picnic in the Park will be from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 pm until at Castlewood Park, right off of Ledbetter Road in Rockingham, not far from the high school. Light lunch available for $7 per person. Family and children are welcome. Rain or shine, unless really really bad weather. This is an OFFICIAL event of the Class Reunion Planning Committee.

(I understand that there are some groups of classmates going golfing or shopping or otherwise enjoying the day in Pinehurst/Southern Pines/Rockingham/Hamlet. These are unofficial events and are coordinated by various folks.)

Reception at historic Pinehurst Hotel from 6 pm til 7 pm. This is also the time for registration/check-in for later events that evening at the hotel. No charge for the reception except for adult beverages. This is an OFFICIAL event of the Class Reunion Planning Committee.

Seated Richmond Raider Reunion Dinner at historic Pinehurst Hotel in the Carolina Ballroom, starting at 7 pm. The cost of the dinner/program/photo/dance is $80 per person, which includes a photo CD memento of the evening. Richmond Raiders from other classes graduating between 1982 and 1988 are welcome to attend the dinner and/or the dance, below. No matter what class you are in, it is highly encouraged that you give us a heads-up that you're attending, if possible, before the weekend so we will have enough dinners prepared by the chef. This is an OFFICIAL event of the Class Reunion Planning Committee.

The official Reunion Program begins approximately 8 pm at the Pinehurst Hotel. We will recognize all classmates in attendance and special guests. We will also have a moment of silence for classmates who are deceased, and begin a series of awards and door prizes. This is an OFFICIAL event of the Class Reunion Planning Committee.

Approximately 8:30 pm we will take the official Class of 1985 Reunion Photo. Only persons who have registered for either the dinner or the dance are eligible for the photos and CD memento from the reunion. This is an OFFICIAL event of the Class Reunion Planning Committee.

The 80s Reunion Dance begins right after the class photo, approximately 8:40 pm and lasts until 1 a.m. As you'd expect, and by special request, we will be highlighting a lot of 80s music for our listening, dancing, and reminiscing pleasure! For those persons who did not attend the dinner, the cost for attending the dance only is $25 per person. This is an OFFICIAL event of the Class Reunion Planning Committee.

Sunday, Aug 8

Our classmate, the Rev. Kirby Woodard, has invited those classmate who will and are able to attend his church for Morning Worship Services. (After the reunion gala the night before, church may very well be a better idea than normal!) Kirby's church is St. Stephens AME Zion Church, 407 West Avenue, in Hamlet. The time is approximately 11 a.m. More details at the reunion. This is an unofficial part of the gala weekend, but is recommended by the Class Reunion Planning Committee.

WE HAVE WINNERS! Class of 1985 Reunion Contest Winners Announced ...

Classmate Kevin Grooms Needs Your Help!

Kevin Grooms, our 1985 classmate who has mostly lived in Charlotte since graduation, has asked for help from his fellow Richmond Raiders. He is sponsoring a child in Central America and is getting close to his fundraising goal that will help build a home for the child and family. To learn more details, go to the Children International page found on Kevin's website link here at this link:

http://www.firstgiving.com/gerardoshouse

Here is what Kevin sent me in an email:

I have something neat I'd like to tell you about. For the past 8.5 years, I have sponsored a kid in Central America through a great non-profit in Kansas City, MO by the name of Children International. My kid's name is Gerardo; he's 17 now. I actually went to visit/meet him at the end of January. I was in Panama first, then went on to Honduras to be with Gerardo. I am now in the process of raising money to build him and his family a simple home with their own parcel of land. If you get a chance, take a look at the link to my fundraising page below. A contribution would be tax deductible. Feel free to consider donating,... but also, feel free to pass this along to my classmates.

Through your kind, small contributions Kevin will reach the goal. If you are inclined, then please help or spread the word to those who are. Thanks!

If you want to contact Kevin directly, his email address is KLGinCLT@yahoo.com.

One Year Ago: Reunion Committee Starts Meeting

It is hard to believe that one year ago our Class of 1985 had its first formal planning meeting relating to our 25-year reunion. Though many emails and calls and letters had already started to go out - and many more would follow later in the subsequent months to classmates hither and yon - the interest is now beginning to grow by the week as the big weekend approaches.

Coincidentally, as we conducted the first formal in-person meeting it came over the speakers at Hudson Brothers Deli that Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, had died in California. Shocking, unexpected news it was.

Just as it hard to believe it's been 25 years since our high school graduation, and already a year since the planning committee started its official work, it is equally hard to imagine that the man who made "the Moonwalk" famous is gone.

I assure you that among the many 80s songs played during our reunion dance you will find a good sampling of Michael Jackson's work.

Reunion Update and Good News!

As we've done at our other class reunions, we will have a casual picnic in Rockingham on Saturday midday, Aug 7. More details in the letter going out to classmates approx July 4.We have only a handful of rooms left in our Richmond Raider Class of 1985 block at the hotel. After June 27 the remaining rooms are let go.

As for the dinner at historic Pinehurst Hotel, we've persuaded officials to keep the price at $80 per person. Remember that includes a nice seated dinner, photographs and your own copy of a memory book for your attendance at the reunion, and the cost of the dance and door prizes. More special details on the dance in the July 4th mailing.

And, remember, you can register and pay securely online with your credit card/debit card by going to www.richmondraiders1985.blogspot.com, which is here on the home page of this website/blog.

Don't miss the best reunion we've ever had!

Reunion Planning Committee Meets June 7: Your Help Needed

Reunion Gala Invitation Letter to Classmates - Appearing in your U.S. Mailbox Soon!

March 29, 2010

Dear Classmate:

As our Class President, I am pleased to send your formal invitation to CELEBRATE the very special occasion of an historic milestone for us Richmond Raiders: the Silver Anniversary of our graduation. Yep, that’s right – 25 years. Can you believe we’ve already traveled that far since turning our tassels and accepting our high school diplomas, and made the first steps a quarter-century ago toward adulthood, careers, and families?

For the record-breaking 200 classmates who joined us at our reunion five years ago, or those who attended any of our other reunions, or even those who haven’t been able to join us until now … this year’s celebration is extra-special. In fact, by an online vote of approximately one-fourth of the class last year, a strong majority of those voting chose to have this party as a step above the other reunions we’ve had because of its uniqueness.

For that reason, the class selected August 7, 2010 and the historic Pinehurst Hotel in Pinehurst, North Carolina for our PARTY. (We’ve had detailed info about this for several months on our Facebook page and our class blog.)

Here is what I ask you to do as soon as possible:

(1) Review the attached reunion schedule, labeled “A”. (Note: Will appear separately on blog.)

(2) Using the enclosed self-addressed stamped envelope or your email address, either mail the enclosed “B” or email your plans to attend by the deadlines, keeping in mind the significant $$ discounts for prompt responders – the next deadline is April 30.

(3) Mail in either a partial payment of $50 or more or the whole amount in order to lock in for the discount. (We will know by June whether we will be able to accept credit card payments. We’ll keep you posted.)

(4) Review the attached info about the Pinehurst Hotel on “C” and, if you wish to reserve a room and take advantage of discounted room rates and family fun and the resort’s special amenities, then make your reservation no later than June 27. … We lose our unused block of rooms after that date. … If you choose to stay overnight elsewhere in Moore County, then see “C” for alternative lodging. … No one is required to stay at Pinehurst Hotel or any hotel for that matter. It is wholly discretionary and we obtained a block of rooms to offer attendees as a matter of ease and safety.

(5) Please send committee members all updated postal addresses, email addresses, photographs and interesting news about classmates ASAP. Unlike our first two reunions in 1990 and 1995, we now have the wonderful organizing tools of the Internet and various social networking sites. (Who knows … we might even upload available video onto YouTube from several of our past class reunions. Just kidding!)

In closing, we will never have another reunion of this size. There is only one 25-year reunion. The next milestone of this nature will be many years from now. Please don’t miss this opportunity to come together in August 2010 and re-connect with long-ago friends and classmates, plus some surprise guests.

So, let’s prepare for a fun-filled weekend and the best Richmond Raider reunion party there ever has been – I look forward to seeing you at our best and largest reunion yet!

Sincerely,


WAYNE GOODWIN
President, RSHS Class of 1985
