We now have a Facebook Group Page, Kinston High School Class of 1998; we still need a moderator for our Myspace Page (TBA), and of course you have found your way to our Blog Spot. These sites will help us to disseminate information and to keep everyone updated on event information, registration, and contacts. We should all be pretty internet savvy by now, so the websites should be easily. So get linked up … we welcome your comments and feedback on our progress and your overall anticipation of the reunion :o).

Also, it would be great if we could include occasional updates on our Blag Spot from those of you who would like to send a personal message or photo to all of our classmates encouraging them to get involved and stay in touch.

Message and Photo submission guidelines: Please email your message and/or photos to khs.classof1998@gmail.com. Personal Messages can be sent as email text or saved as a word.doc. Images should be saved as JPEGs or PNGs. Multiple photos should be copied into a folder and compressed as .zip or .sit. Please limit the email attachment file size to 1MB. If necessary send more than one email.

If you have any questions about preparing or sending a personal message or image, just send us a note. We look forward to seeing what you send! And for all of you bloggers out there, just let me know if you have any ideas for our website :o).

We are still currently scouting locations for the event. We are looking at Memorial Weekend, and the 1st and 2nd weekends in June as possible dates; though this is subject to change depending on everyone's availability and the amount of response we receive. We are researching information on convention centers in the area as well as hotel banquet locations. We will also inquire about hosting a possible meet and great at the Arts Council during our reunion weekend. If anyone has any ideas on other possible locations please let us know.

We are also anticipating submitting a series of announcements in the Kinston Free Press as well as Greenville's Daily Reflector in order to make sure we reach as many classmates as possible. We may also want to consider a radio announcement during the weeks prior to the event as the date draws near.

That's all I have for now. Be on the lookout for the next update.......until then, take care.
