20 yr Reunion Slide shows..

Here are the two slide shows from the 20yr reunion. I was able to upload them to the alumni site http://southavenhighschool.ning.com/ which is a social network community for Southaven Alumni. It's much like a Facebook or MySpace community, but dedicated exclusivly to SHS alumni.

You have to join the alumni site http://southavenhighschool.ning.com/ to view the videos, but there is no cost to sign up.

20yr Reunion Pictures...

For anyone unable to attend the Reunion or if you just want to see the slide show again, here are the pictures from the "Then" portion of the slide show. The pictures from the "Then" portion of the Slide show are uploaded to a Wal-Mart photo share account. You can view, download or print for .09 a picture using this link: http://photos.walmart.com/share/p=37021222966052049/l=14887874/g=20802020/cobrandOid=1011/otsc=SYE/otsi=SALB

The candids of the reunion can be viewed and ordered at www.eventsimagingservices.com.

I have tried uploading the slide show file to the blog, but it isn't working due to the file size. I'll continue to work on uploading the slide shows, but in case I can't you can see the "Then" pictures by using the Wal-Mart Link.

Invite your favorite Teacher to the Reunion!

The Class of 1988 would like to invite all former teachers to the 20yr Reunion. There is no cost to attend the reunion for our teachers and their guest.

Do you have a favorite teacher that you are still in contact with? Do you know how to get in touch with our teachers from 1988? Send them this invitation and/or let the reunion committee know so we can invite them. E-mail your teacher's information to shsclass88@gmail.com or reply with their information to this post so we can reach out to them.

Help us show our thanks to this wonderful group of people who helped us all!

Now and Then Pictures Needed!

Now - 2008 & Then - 1988

Part of the class reunion includes a slide show, but we need pictures from you guys to make it enjoyable for all! Do you have a funny picture from back in the day or would you like to send in a picture of you and/or you and your family from 2008? The slide show already includes some pictures the reunion committee has from 1988, but to make it really worth while we need your pictures!

If you'd like to submit a photo please send it to shsclass88@gmail.com in an electronic format, preferably .jpg or .gif for easy insertion into a slide show program. Please note the people in the picture and when or where it was taken. All photos will be kept by the reunion committee and not distributed or posted online without approval. Photos should be submitted by Sept. 19th to be included in the slide show.

So send those pictures in and show your Charger Pride!

"I want to Rock!"... or Dance, or Hip Hop or Country...

What do you want to dance or listen to at the Class Reunion? The DJ has asked for suggestions to play at the Class Reunion and we'd like to hear from you! Is there something you'd like to hear from 1985-90 that will get you ready to "Bust A Move"? Or was Top 40 more your style or did you just like to "Bang your Head"?

E-mail your suggestions to shsclass88@gmail.com or post them to the reply section of this blog entry. Either way, we'll get them to the DJ so you can "Hold onto the Night" and get all of the "Dirty Dancing" out of your system for another 10 years!

And yes, Big Rick, Hank Jr. will be on the playlist because "All your Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight!"

The hotel room block is all set so you can start calling and making reservations now by asking for group “Southaven 20”. The rate for Saturday night is $99 and the rate for Friday & Sunday (if needed) is $79 and is good for the entire weekend. We have 25 rooms reserved for Friday and 50 rooms reserved for Saturday night.

The normal weekend rate is $159, so this is a very reasonable group rate.

Call Hollywood Casino Tunica at 1-800-871-0711 to make your reservations. Reservations must be made by 9/12/08 to get the special SHS rate, otherwise Hollywood Casino reserves the right to charge their regular room rate and open the remaining block of rooms to the public.

SHS Class of '88 20-year reunion is tentatively planned for the weekend of Sat. Sept. 27th. Arrangements are still being made for daytime activities and the banquet & dance that night. More information will be made available early this summer once the plans & costs have been finalized. A group room rate at Hollywood Casino is being finalized for that weekend and will be published.
