RO-HAWK REUNION WEEKEND - SEPTEMBER 5-6-7, 2008


RO-HAWK REUNION WEEKEND - SEPTEMBER 5/6/7 --- 2008

PLEASE PRINT THIS OUT AND PUT IT SOMEWHERE SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE!!!! IT WILL SELF-DESTRUCT AT SOME POINT... and not be repeated too many more times.

TEN MORE DAYS UNTIL THE REUNION!!! We have an amazing turnout - we have over 150 people signed up for the Saturday nite dinner and reunion at Jeff and Marty's in New Braunfels. (Yes, we have ordered extra porta pottys).

We have almost that many attending the school tour and the game. Remember that the school is only accessed from the gate off Loop 1604. Bruce Cannon - RHS graduate and school principal is hosting a reception and tour for us starting at 4:30 Friday afternoon. The football game starts at 7:30 pm. An announcement will be made introducing our attendance at the game --- We can stay and watch the game and mingle and talk or leave and go home to sleep or go to Lake McQueeney and relive our youth and rock and roll.

Then on to Lake Breeze Ski Lodge at Lake McQueeney Friday nite where Jackie Greene Muir has set up a band for our enjoyment - her treat to all of us. The band starts at 8pm and plays until midnight. No cover charge - just when you enter the Lodge you will need to go to the "window cashier" and set up your cash tickets (under your names & RAFB high school - those who are registered in rooms will be billed to your room numbers) for food and drinks, ski pulls, etc. There will also be a pontoon boat available for 2 boat tours around the Lake. The Ski Lodge is located at 225 Ski Lodge Road, McQueeney, TX 78123. You take Exit 188 off of north I-35 and go east .... past the dog-leg in the road until you turn left on Ski Lodge Road. You'll run into the lodge if you go straight.

Golfers should get to bed early 'cause Jeff and Tom have organized a golf tourney (Jeff has christened it a "Golfers Gala") at Landa Golf Course in New Braunfels - See attached.... Tee time - 10:00 a.m. If you want to join the golfing please contact Jeff at 830-608-5000.

Those who won't be golfing can either sleep - or go to the mall, outlet mall, get your hair and nails done, get a massage - because you were up too late Friday nite for your age --- or go back to lake McQueeney where there will be Ski Boats available for renting or just sit by the pool. Jackie will be there to help you arrange things. Don't stay out in the sun too long (let's HOPE it's sunny) because you have a big night tonight!

There may also be boats provided by Mike Berish and others and a pontoon boat available for use at the Lindleys at Lake Dunlap.

THE BIG EVENT ----

DINNER AND GET TOGETHER AT THE LINDLEY'S HOUSE, LAKE DUNLAP starting at 5:00 pm. BBQ dinner at 7:00 - music, food and fun. The address for Jeff and Marty Lindley is 827 Schumann's Beach Road, Lake Dunlap, New Braunfels, TX -- Take Exit 187 off of North I-35 and go East to Schumann's Beach Road (somehow we will have it marked) and turn left. Go straight - around big tree in middle of the road - and turn left at the big field and park. House is behind the field. You can't miss it. Telephone numbers: 830-608-5000 and 830-708-5200.

IF WE ARE STILL UPRIGHT ON SUNDAY MORNING - we are invited to go back to the Ski Lodge for breakfast at 8:30 - pick from the menu. Otherwise, you are free to meet anywhere with anyone and enjoy the last remaining moments of your weekend before you have to catch your plane back home.

IF YOU STILL HAVE QUESTIONS - PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL GLORIA AT 830-822-0065 (CELL) OR 830-626-0942 (HM).

PLEASE NOTE:

We need camera-persons - I can't be everywhere (really) - so if you have a camera and you like to use it - please bring it. Take pictures and email them to Gloria after the reunion (no porn please) and I will post them on the BLOG as they come to me. (If you buy a disposable camera and want to donate it to the BLOG I'll be glad to get it processed on a CD and send it to you after I check the pictures for posting). Please don't be shy about posing for pictures either - be bold and confident. Who cares if it rains and your hair frizzes! Or if you are sunburned and you have raccoon eyes from wearing your sunglasses!We are making memories here people!!! WE ARE RO-HAWKS - BE PROUD. LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!

Gloria, Mike and I really wanted to make this one. I unfortunately am at a critical point working on a fund raiser I was dumb enough to be talked into chairing. I tried to get far enough along so we could go but unsuccessfully. We are thinking about moving to the Hill Country area sometime in the next year or so. My daughter is teaching in Austin and will be working on her Masters in Anthropology; my son hopes to be starting medical school in Texas next year; my sister lives in Houston and Mike's sister lives in San Antonio... so it looks like a pretty good fit. When this ordeal is over, we will be making a trip over there and hope I can talk you into lunch or dinner. You are amazing and have done an incredible job of keeping a part of our past with us today. Thanks for all you do. I think we are all very lucky and proud of you. I hope you all have a wonderful reunion. xo Betsy Norman Connor Wish I could be there
