Comments: Hello there class of '97! Just wanted to say how much i miss high school! Real life can be pretty crappy. But hey, thats life right. I am a single father of 2 working fulltime at John Deere Landscapes in Port Richey. After work I pick up my 2 angels from school, ages 10 and 9, and do all the things that a parent has to. I actually married a girl from school, Crystal Kuster, but she split. I guess parenthood just wasn't her thing. As hard as things are as a single parent, I would not trade my kids for anything in the world! Well, if anyone can even remember me, email me to chat, SEE YA!!!!

Comments: I am going to receive a registration list and photo name badges from Reunion Celebrations on Wednesday. I will be at the front of the banquet room checking people in and handing out photo name badges. They are your ticket. Those who have not pre-registered will not have a senior photo badge from Reunion Celebrations. I will bring blank name badges for those who pay at the door. If you have any more questions please let me know.

See you soon

Comments: Good Morning,

I really hope you all can make it! I know that things happen and unexpected financial problems come up but, we only have one High School 10 year reunion in our lifetime. I have put so much into this reunion to make it memorable, including engraved key chains and a special video presentation from our high school days.

If you have a specific problem and you want to go, let me know and I will work it out somehow...someway. If you cannot pay until the reunion night let me know by 10/22 because I will be giving the Ramada Inn a final head count for the food then.

I really hope you consider it. I hope to see you soon.

Harmony

Comments: Hello Everyone,

If you are just now finding out about the reunion, please sign up immediately. The link is below, in the previous posts. There is also a link below to pay on-line. If you are just finding out about the reunion and you would like to go, I will make sure Reunion Celebrations does not charge you late fees. We need people to sign up as early as possible for the table set-up, amount of food we need and the number of memorabilia to order.

It looks like a good turn out but, we would love to see a few more familiar faces. See you soon and please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns.

Comments: I would like to address a concern repeatedly brought up by a handful of people. It seems these few people are complaining about the venue for the reunion. First of all, an expensive venue inside a hotel means everything will be more expensive. Please realize that classmates from all income brackets make up our class and we want everyone to be able to come. I have secured a great deal from The Ramada Inn. Also, they are allowing us to decorate the room how we want.

I am very disappointed that some people say they are not coming because of the location. This hotel will serve our purpose very well: reuniting with friends from the past and reminiscing about the good old days.

I have been working on this reunion for more than 5 months from Georgia, with *very* limited help. I have done my best from this distance to make this a spectacular night. If you choose not to come because of the location, that’s your decision. Please do everyone a favor and keep your negativity to yourselves. And let others enjoy the night.

I am so excited for the reunion and I hope everyone else is as well. We will have a little "happy hour" at the beginning of the reunion, so try to make it on time so you do not miss out. Also, during dinner, with the help of some Gulf High faculty, there will be a class video on a projection screen. It will be similar to the one shown at graduation.

As we get closer to the reunion, I will post more information. Please feel free to contact me with question, comments or concerns.

Comments: I hope everyone has received their invitations. Reunion celebrations have sent out another reminder about the reunion this week. Payment needs to be received no later than 30 day prior to the reunion to avoid extra fees.

I would also like to reinforce the costume party aspect. I will be dressed up, among others including: the band and possibly the wait staff. The entire room and entry way will also be spooky. It is going to be so much fun to see how creative everyone is now a days.

Please let me know if you have not received an invitation and I will get one sent to you immediately. I need to get a head count as soon as possible for the floor plan. There will be no seating chart; however I need your help with signing up early so I can plan for enough food, drinks, memorabilia, etcetera...

Thank you,

Harmony Mendoza

Comments: Hello! I have a few updates about the reunion. Reunion Celebrations Inc is on board and they are in the process of contacting everyone. It would help them immensely if you logged onto their website and updated your contact information. Here is a link:

https://shoultz.pickint.net/reunioncelebrations.com/florida.htm

The date is set for October 27, 2007. The agreement with Reunion Celebrations is that they contact, confirm and collect payments. All of the other planning is up to me and a committee of volunteers from our class.

I will post more information as it comes in but, we need everyone on board. I only have about 20 people who say they will go and we need several more to get this thing moving. I know it is hard to plan this far in advance but, try to do the best you can.

See you soon
Harmony
