There's several things I need to communicate with you, so here goes:
1. We're working on the total cost of attending the Reunion and I'll send that to you very soon. I think you'll be pleased.
2. I've been advised that there are several activities happening in Lynchburg during the weekend of Sept. 10-12 (unrelated to the LU/TRBC), so hotel rooms will be going fast. If you have not secured a room at the Kirkley, please do so quickly.
Here's an email I received from Randy Smith regarding a recent stay at the Kirkley: I just stayed at the Kirkley this past week. It is a good hotel - in our day, it used to be the Hilton. Has an indoor pool and hot tub (like any of us want to walk around in a bathing suit!), a decent workout room and the rooms are being renovated. It also has a dance club where you can do your old YA routines (ha!). The rooms are large - each has some sort of sitting area. The only real negative - no business center to speak of - just a laptop and printer in the lobby. So if you need access - bring your own laptop - the whole hotel is wireless.
See you there!
Randy Smith
(I've been advised that they are updating the business center. Not sure how much will have been completed by September.)
3. The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir will be performing (along with TRBC's choir) in the services at TRBC on September 6th, so if you were thinking about coming into town early that might help you decide! Remember that the room rates will be the same if you decide to come early or stay late.
4. Henry McKinney has taken on the awesome responsibility of planning a remembrance honoring all the YA'ers who have gone to be with the Lord. Those include: Gary Aldridge, Wayne Campbell, Gloria (Huggins) Harbridge, Jerry Kelly, Sharon (Jones) Mason, Karren (Claiborne) McKinney, James Stevens. If you know any one else, please contact Henry (hlmbooks@aol.com).

I try my best to have them posted within 24 hours after you submit them, so don't be confused if you don't see yours immediately.
6. Attached are the latest Master List (we've added several new names) and the Names to Contact List. Still looking for people.
More later,
Sheila
