REUNION DATES
- July 25-27, 2025 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday)
LODGING (IF NEEDED)
- Remember that there are two reunions in town the same weekend so it would be best to make your reservations sooner rather than later.
- The Best Western (formerly the Holiday Inn) has a block of rooms for us.
- Phone: 507-238-4771
- Mention you are with the Class of 1975 to receive a discount.
- Block of rooms will be held until July 1.

BANQUET (HELD SATURDAY, JULY 26)
- To date we have 56 classmates registered to attend the banquet on Saturday evening (total with spouses = 79)
- Please plan to attend and register your attendance with Linda Thate Eisenmenger.
- Suggested donation = $50, more or less. All are welcome regardless of any donation amount.
- Registration deadline is July 1 so the caterer has time to prepare.
- Former faculty have been invited to attend. Some are planning on coming.
- The banquet is the only reunion event that has a definite time and place. Anyone who plans to eat needs to register with Linda Thate Eisenmenger so we can provide the caterer with a plate count.
- Donations will cover banquet expenses for all attendees. If you can make a donation towards banquet expenses:
- The donation must be made by check, payable to "Class of '75".
- Mark the number of people attending the banquet on the memo line of the check.

- Suggested donation is $50 (for 50 years), but there is no maximum or minimum amount. Please feel free to donate more or less.
- If you cannot make a donation towards banquet expenses:
- Please come anyway. We want everyone to attend regardless of their ability to donate.
- Register the number of people attending by emailing Linda or sending a note to the address above.

YEARBOOK
- If you haven't submitted your yearbook survey, you can still do so.

- Deadline to request a yearbook if you cannot attend the reunion is July 1.
REUNION T-SHIRTS
In the survey we did recently, the majority voted to have t-shirts made for those who would like one. Julie took your suggestions to the printer and they redid their mockup. This is what the t-shirts would look like now:
They're a bit hard to read from the picture, I know. Here's the layout:
"Our" cardinal
