Here are the Web announcements leading up to the events:
Your Reunion Committee NEEDS YOUR HELP!
Please call or email your personal '64 classmate friends that you would like to see again or keep in touch with and spread the word about our 55th Reunion!
Even if you can't attend yourself!
Try as best as we can, we do not have current contact information on everyone from our class that many of you might possess.
A CALL FROM YOU may indeed reconnect us with our missing classmates and put them back in touch with us, so that they can be aware of our efforts and plans for our 55th Reunion and beyond (60th Reunion) as our APRIL DEADLINE nears! 
The latest information on the Saturday 4/27 - Sunday 4/28,
RAP (Riverside Avondale Preservation) Tour of Homes
Please note YOUR ACTION IS NECESSARY to register and pay for tickets to take advantage of the "early-bird" rates online BEFORE APRIL 15th
if you wish to attend! 
There are no group rates which we were hoping for; but now until the 15th of April, there is a reduced rate for early birds!  Instead of the regular price of $30.00 per person, the early bird special is $25.00 per person.  The Tour prices include attending both Saturday and Sunday, if you don’t see everything first time.  Website is www.raphometour.com     This year’s houses have finally been posted!  Check the very last one!  It may take you back in time!
Each individual must make their own arrangements to pay.  The website is set up for you to pay online.  Once you have paid, an image of your ticket will be sent to your phone, which you can then show at the first house on the tour and they will give you your physical (paper) ticket.  A map is available on the website by clicking on “Houses” in the menu and a paper map will be given to you at the first house you go to for the rest of the tour.  Online and the RAP office before tour are the only options to pay for tour this year.  RAP office on day of tour only.
As an option, we are considering meeting for brunch and gathering in fewer vehicles to take the tour together, if y’all are interested.  This will be announced at The Hilltop on Friday night!
Don’t forget your name badges!!
Don’t have one? Call Judy at 904-616-8145 or email her at “Judy-mac@att.net”  Correction -- email Gene Hagan at tootertuba@comcast.net.

As has been the case

for the birthday party and the 50th reunion
 -- and maybe even more so now –
we all need everyone to wear name badges to our 55th Reunion for the Class of 1964 Lee High School!
 
If you can find your badge, please bring it! 
If not, contact Judy Gunnels McClure -- the lovely lady who made the badges in 2014 -- at judy-mac@att.net and tell her
you need one!
Sweet Judy will roll up her sleeves and make a new one
with our high school annual picture.
If you forget it, all we will have at the reunion will be paper stickers to hand write your name.   No pictures!
 
And –
