Tri School Reunion
Jul 4, 2010
1:30 to 4:30 pm
Washington Township School

The tri-school reunion plans have all been made. The event, as previously announced, will be held on Sunday, July 4th from 1:30-4:30 p.m. at the Washington School (junction of P58 & F31) five miles west of Minburn. We
anticipate a nice turnout for this event. The majority of the renovated school is air-conditioned. All will enter in the southwest door of the building.

There will be nine tables set up inside the door. Attendees will find their appropriate table depending on the school from which they received their diploma. We are asking all graduates, along with their spouse/friend, to sign in at the table and to fill out a name badge.

You are most welcome to mingle within the building, take a tour of the rooms and to have light refreshments. You might wish to bring along lawn chairs in case the weather is nice and you would like to spend some time outdoors enjoying the beautifully manicured grounds.

A program will take place at 3 p.m. Ed Hill, a 1954 graduate of Minburn School, will make some comments to open the program. The Central Dallas class of 1960 will be recognized individually as they celebrate their 50th anniversary. We will also introduce en masse the members of Central Dallas classes celebrating their 20th, 30th and 40th anniversaries. Special recognition will be given to individuals who have worked over the last thirteen years to turn the schoolhouse into a nice facility for many to enjoy. A history of the renovation process will be presented. A remembrance of members of the three schools will take place to honor those who have passed away since the last reunion.

We do not have any formal plans to take group pictures, so please bring along your camera and you can organize your own groups for photos.

We look forward to a fun afternoon filled with life's updates being often exchanged!

If you have items to donate for the garage sale, drop off times at the Washington Township School House are 9:00 am to noon on Sat., December 5th or Fri., December 11th.

It will help if you would tag/mark a price and a very visible T-S (Tri School) or W-C (Washington Chapel) so proceeds can be credited to the correct fund. Thank you for your consideration.  Questions: call Jon West 677-2441.
