SAVE-THE-DATE MAILERS
I plan to send save-the-date mailers on Wednesday. If you have moved recently, can you please send me your new address ASAP! Do you have a better email address that you would like me to use? Changed your last name? Please send any updates by Tuesday, February 16th.

SUNDAY'S FAMILY DAY
Sunday's Family Day is open to the BHS classes surrounding us ('83, '84, '85, '87, '88, '89). And to any other schools that feel a particular closeness to our class.

I've created a Facebook Group to start gathering names for Sunday. On Facebook, search for: Bartlett High School - 30th Reunion - Family Day. I'll be sending you an invite to this Facebook Group over the next day. Or search for it and request to be added. Also, please start inviting others to the group and I'll approve them.

Keep in mind that this Facebook Group is only for Sunday. All the other reunion information can be found on our website and on our Facebook Group by searching for: Bartlett High School - Class of '86 (Anchorage, AK)

ATTENDING REUNION?
On our website, I've started a list of who will be attending - see the Who Attended? tab. If you will be coming to this reunion, send me an email with the names of who will be coming and I'll add you: daltongang90@gmail.com

I NEED HELP!
The following committees are in need of chairs. See the Reunion Committee tab on the website to get a basic understanding of what the position entails. I especially need a graphic artist to start now!!

Open committees: (1) Advertising; (2) Dinner Entertainment; (3) Graphic Artist; (4) Missing Alumni Chair; (5) Other Classes Alumni Chair; (6) PowerPoint Chair.

DONATIONS
To help keep the cost of the reunion down and out of the goodness of your heart, if you're able to donate any amount I would greatly appreciate it! Currently I've also been putting down deposits out of my personal savings. Please make the checks out to "Dawn Dalton" and email me for an address: daltongang90@gmail.com Thank you!

NEED CORPORATE/BUSINESS SPONSORSHIP
For Saturday night's event, we will have a photo booth. This is sooooo trendy right now, and it becomes such an awesome keepsake to take home! I'm looking for a business to share half of the cost of the photo booth, as I have one sponsorship already. In return you will get advertising down the middle of each of the photo strips (which can be wrote off as an advertising expense). The cost is $487.50, and here's the photobooth website: http://www.akphotobooth.com/ Please contact me ASAP if you can do this: daltongang90@gmail.com

SILENT AUCTION / RAFFLE ITEMS
We will again be holding a silent auction and raffle on Saturday night. If you have items you can donate, please contact Pamela Wyrick (Gifford) who is in charge of this event: pam@hultquisthomes.com

BARTLETT AND 1980's MEMORABILIA
On Saturday night, we will also be showcasing memorabilia from Bartlett and the '80s. If you have items we can borrow, please contact Yvonne Kuehn (Lee) who is in charge of these displays: Yvonne.alaskarealtor@outlook.com

I'm soooo excited about this reunion, and I hope you have caught the reunion fever!

Sincerely,
Dawn Dalton (Houghtaling)
