Happy New Year to each of you! Only 240 days until the Youth Aflame Reunion!!
Here is the schedule for our Reunion. It might change a little bit, but I believe it's pretty much a "go". There'll be a few updates coming later.
Thursday ~ Pretty much Meet & Greet day. (Not sure what time we'll officially start or where it will be held. Will let you know later.) That night would probably be just people getting together for dinner, talking, etc. No "official plans".
Friday ~
Morning: YA Tour: Tour the campus, museum, the Mansion, Jerry's memorial & other points of interest from the old days: Pittman Plaza, the Hotel, Timberlake class building, old/new scaremare site & the old TRBC facility.
Kendra is going to check into using buses to take us on the tour.
Lunch: Maybe eat on the mountain?
Afternoon: Sing Along Time: Groups visit with Gordon, sing old songs together & reminisce, share memories, tell stories...
Hopefully, we will be able to sing to the soundtracks we have had copied over from our reel to reel tapes to CD's...and/or utilize some of our pianists who remember the songs. (This is still being worked on.)
Evening: YA Banquet: Honor Gordon, give plaque or love offering gift,
Entertainment: Rick & Mick Vigneulle. Doug Oldham will also be there to sing Get All Excited. BTW, "Get All Excited" is the theme for the Reunion. Not sure where this will be held.
Keynote Speaker: Gordon
Saturday ~ Trip to the Peaks, catered barbecue dinner mid-late afternoon
Sunday ~ Ask Jonathan to recognize Gordon by perhaps having him pray in the morning service. Have all of us stand to be recognized. That might be the extent of our exposure. Still working on this.
===========
We are working on hotel rooms and you'll be hearing from me soon regarding this. Also working on having a "live" video made of our time together.
Please keep submitting your bios. This is important to Gordon.
To SUBMIT your bio - go to youthaflame.org, click on "submit my bio" (left column), fill out the questions, and hit "submit". It's as easy as that!
To VIEW bios - go to youthaflame.org - click on "read others' bios" (left column).
Attached are the Master List and Names to Contact list. Please look over the Names to Contact list and see if you know where any of these people are. Have you found them on Facebook, gotten a Christmas card from them, received a phone call, etc?? It's important that we find these people and give them time to plan to be with us in September. Thanks so much for your help!!
More later,
Sheila
