Update 1/9/08: KHS Class of 1998 Reunion Schedule and Registration Info!

Greetings Everyone,

It’s official; the reunion will be held in Kinston during Homecoming Weekend 2008!

Upon arrival on Friday, we will Tailgate before the Homecoming game in the KHS Stadium parking lot, so BYOB. After the tailgate, we will then attend the Homecoming Football Game at the KHS Stadium to kick off our 10-year reunion celebration - cheering on the Vikings one more time! I contacted KHS and they said that the date for Homecoming 2008 has yet to be determined. The athletic director usually decides on the date after summer when the football schedule has been finalized. I’ll update everyone as soon as I get the news.

Saturday morning and afternoon you and your family are welcome to attend a Family Games Day meet and greet beginning at 10am! Refreshments will be provided (i.e. hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, etc.), so come prepared to have fun! That evening we will host the Reunion Dinner and Dance beginning at 8pm; this will be a Black Tie Affair with Red Carpet Attire, with an excellent buffet meal, music, and other activities. We have a lot planned that everyone’s sure to enjoy!

To conclude our reunion celebration there will be a Farewell Brunch at Bojangles Restaurant (Dutch), on Sunday morning beginning at 10am.

As you know this reunion will not be possible without your help and MONEY!!!! To pay for rental costs, refreshments, entertainment (the DJ), etc.; there is a $50 dues charge for each member of the class of 1998; additional Reunion Dinner and Dance tickets are $20 per guest. Hotel accommodations will not be provided. Payments need to be made no later than June 1st 2008.

Please mail checks and money orders payable to “KHS Class of 1998 Reunion” to:

Ashley Heath
Treasurer, KHS Class of 1998 Reunion Committee
[address removed on 11.24.16]

Help us make this a great reunion for everyone to enjoy by getting in contact with either Ashley or myself if you have and questions or concerns. We have set up a business account with BB&T where all dues paid will be deposited. I will update everyone on the balance and those who have registered, on a monthly basis via the website. We will not be able to give you a receipt immediately, but you will be presented with a receipt at the time of the reunion.

If you are interested and want to come to the reunion please email the planning committee at khs.classof1998@gmail.com; include your name, the names of anyone who will be attending with you (such as spouse/children), your address, phone number, and at least one email address. We will start taking dues for the reunion as soon as you can get them to us!

We will update our class website, khs98reunion.blogspot.com, with all the information you will need to plan your trip! Please come and join us in a reunion to remember. We look forward to seeing everyone this fall!!!!!

Yours in Vikings Spirit,

Update 12/6/07: KHS Class of 1998 Class Reunion

Greetings Classmates!

I pray that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that we’ll all have a great Holiday Season.

The Reunion Planning Committee will meet on Saturday, December 22nd at 7:00pm. (Location TBA)

We are diligently working on several things for our reunion weekend, so to update everyone on a couple of things, here is a list of what we have discussed and are currently working on:

1. The Class of 1998 reunion will be held in the Fall of 2008. This gives us enough time to plan and to build interest among all of our classmates. Here are the tentative activities the committee has discussed so far:

Friday:
1. Tailgate and Football game (early evening) and/or
2. Meet and greet (early evening)
Saturday:
1. Day in the Park for families (10am-until) and
2. Official Reunion Celebration – Reception and Dance (8pm-until)
Sunday:
1. Brunch Farewell to our classmates (Dutch style @ restaurant, 10am-until)
2. (Optional) Sunday worship Fellowship

2. We will also establish a KHS class of 1998 bank Account. Ashley Heath, Davene’ Swinson, and myself (Kim McNair) will have access to the account. We will also need to obtain a Federal Tax ID # from the IRS for purposes of opening the account. We want everyone to feel comfortable about where our money is going. Therefore, with an account in the name of our class reunion, we can make our checks out to "KHS Class of 1998 Reunion" rather than to an individual person. And it will be much easier for us to keep the money straight, and to keep records of expenditures.

3. Torise Battle is currently working on locating other classmates whom we have not been able to reach. Tyrome Ward is collecting contact information for everyone in order to compile an official contact roster for our class. If you have information for Torise or if you want to send Tyrome your contact info, please send a message to khs.classof1998@gmail.com.

4. Jimmy Ryles and Torise continue to research ways we can advertise as the reunion date approaches. They will contact local and state newspapers and also research other avenues of publicity.

As always, we welcome your suggestions and input. So if you have theme ideas, or even ideas on fundraising, just send us an email at khs.classof1998@gmail.com. Until next time take care and Happy Holidays!
