Class of ’92 October Meeting Recap includes announcement

The Collinsville High School Class of ’92 reunion committee met again last night at Jennifer Osaben’s house to discuss the progress of the group since the September meeting.

Our main goal for the reunion is to make this fun and include as many people as possible. We want classmates to feel comfortable in reuniting with former classmates by renewing old friendships and making new ones.

The reunion committee is excited to announce that we have secured a location and date for the reunion. The reunion will take place at the Edwardsville Gun Club on Saturday, September 1, 2012. The committee is planning other activities for that weekend including a casual mixer on Friday night and other activities earlier in the day on Saturday. Stay tuned for more details.

Currently, we have researched and contacted several local DJs and a few photographers for the event, but have yet to make any confirmations. One area we are still working on is food. We hope to include a full meal in the evening, but this depends what prices we receive from local caterers. The plan at this point is to offer draft beer free and possibly other drinks, but mixed drinks will be a cash bar.

The goal of the committee is to keep costs of the reunion as low as possible while acting responsible about what we are spending as a group. Therefore, providing your e-mail address to help us get information to you in crucial. This allows us to keep correspondence free and quick. If you haven’t given your contact information to a member of the committee or submitted it yourself, please send it to us at our e-mail address.

The reunion committee will meet again in November to start finalizing some decisions on our to do list. In the next couple of months we will release more details including costs.

A Fun, Family Event Celebrates Fall

If you still reside in the Collinsville area and are looking for a fun, family oriented event to take the kids to, then the Maryville Fall Fest fits the bill perfectly.

Sponsored by the Maryville Community Improvement Board, the 3rd annual Fall Fest is scheduled for Saturday, October 15. Held in the shady surroundings of Fireman’s Park this free event hosted by volunteers offers a few hours of family fun on a crisp fall day.

Local churches and non-profit groups donate their time and creativity to sponsor local booths providing fun activities for the kids. The activities for the day include pumpkin decorating, face painting, craft making and other games. Kids can also have fun playing on the three inflatable bounce houses.

Plus, you may want to pack the extended family in the car to hear the kids sing along with their favorite songs in a Kids Karaoke area from 11:00am –1:00pm.

Parents can feel safer after getting a free Kid Safety ID Kit with police officers from local departments manning the booth. The officers will take the child’s picture, fingerprints and a brief description (height, weight, eye color) and give the parents a complimentary CD to take home.

As in the past, the event coincides with the yearly National Fire Prevention Week. The Village of Maryville Volunteer Fire Department will have their fire trucks, ambulances and fire safety equipment on display for all to see.

In case you were wondering, refreshments will be available for purchase.

When: Saturday, October 15, 2011
Time: 10:00 am — 2:00 pm
Where: Fireman’s Park, Maryville, IL
How Much: FREE

The Fall Fest is sponsored by:

Finally, the event is sponsoring a Sudz Drive. Organizers ask those who plan to attend to please bring any type of soap — bath, body, laundry, dish or hand! The organizers will gather up the days bubbles and get them to the Maryville Food Pantry for you. Thanks!
