I'm attaching the flyer being sent out to the Class of '57 regarding our
summer picnic. We have this every year in the Newport News Park. This
year it will be at Shelter #19 on June 7, 2008, 11:00 am until dark. If
you could put this under "Dates to Remember" I would appreciate it.
If any NNHS alumni would like to attend, please contact Nancy
Timberlake Spencer or W. D. Dangler (numbers are on the flyer). There
will be a charge of $12.00 per couple.

YOU ARE INVITED!!
The NNHS Class of 1957 will hold its
annual picnic at Newport News Park on Saturday, June 3, 2006.
I know
many of you shared close friendships with that much older generation
(there were even
several inter-marriages!). If you would like to
renew old friendships, send a check in the amount
of $10 for each
attendee made out to "NNHS Class of 1957" to:
W. D. Dangler,
318 - 57th Street,
Newport News,
VA
23607
I have
attended the last couple
of their
picnics and can assure you of a wonderful time.
The Picnic will be held
at the Newport News Park Shelter #19 on June 3, 2006, from 11:00 till
dark. The menu includes
homemade Bar-B-Q and all the other good
fixins as well as specialty desserts made by members of the class.

Thanks, Joe!

The picnic is NEXT weekend, Saturday, June 5, 2004,
Shelter #18, NN City Park, 11 - until dark! All of you that have assignments
(you know who you are) please be sure to bring the food item, drinks, ice, etc.
or "White Elephant" auction items. As in the past, there will also be a "50-50"
with half of the funds going to the class treasury. So far, reservations for the
picnic have far exceeded expectations ... with 100+ indicating they will be
there! JUST WONDERFUL news. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of you and hope
that everyone will enjoy himself or herself and have a great day creating new
NNHS Class of '57 memories.
Also - we will have our monthly dinner, AS SCHEDULED, on
Wednesday, June 9, 2004, 6:00 p.m. at Angelo's on Route 17. We usually
critique the picnic after-the-fact and discuss what things went right and what
things we can improve on next year. Later on, in July-August, we will gather
pictures taken, etc. and have a new mail out of class information, along with
the final invitation for the Christmas Gathering to be sent to all classmates.
If any of you have a change of address, please notify me ASAP, so that my
information can be updated before sending out to everyone. Thanks - in advance.
We've signed the contract for the Christmas Gathering at the Omni Hotel for Wednesday,
December 15, 2004 - PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS ... no excuses! We
have guaranteed, and must have at least 75 people to attend, to meet our
contractual agreement. More details later with the invitation - but there will
be a choice of chicken or beef again this year, @ $22.00/person including tax
and gratuity; and anyone attending the function can reserve a room at the rate
of $59/night. We've had such wonderful gatherings the past two years, I know
this one will be equally great - we're very enthused about the venue change to a
facility actually in Newport News, and the Omni is working very hard with us to
accommodate our needs. If you've missed one of these - you've missed a wonderful
time, and if you've been in the past - then I know we'll see you again.
Remember to also keep obtaining auction items for the Christmas Gathering in
mind and to seek out donations that can be bid on to bring money into our
treasury for the 50th. Contact Richard Coltrane for information or to notify him
of donations you've received. We so want the next Reunion to be a special event
for all. We've gotten several great donations so far and hope to get many, many
more.
I hope that you are enjoying the summer, and do not live in one of the areas
that has recently been hard-hit by the awful storms.
My best regards to you all ... Thelma Spade Roberts of VA - 05/25/04
Thanks, Thelma!
