Do you remember - riding the bus to school, lining up to go outside for recess, walking home for lunch if you lived “in town”, cheering for the local team, prom, graduation?  You are cordially invited to join us in a stroll down memory lane celebrating old schools, old friends, and old memories.

 

The Redwood Area Education Foundation is organizing an all-school reunion for alumni and staff from Belview, Delhi, Morton and Redwood Falls on July 24-26, 2009.  Whether you were a Bluejay, Indian, or Cardinal we know you will have fun at this jam packed three-day celebration!

 

Try your luck on the golf course; reunite with old team mates on the basketball, tennis or volleyball court; tune up your old instrument and play in the band; share your talents, dance the night away, or maybe just spend the weekend socializing and reminiscing with classmates and former teachers.

 

A wide variety of activities are being planned for the entire family.  Initial plans include a football clinic; golf scramble, volleyball tournament; baseball/softball tournament; tennis; variety/talent show; arts and crafts fair featuring items by alumni (including a book signing area for our published alumni); banquet at Jackpot Junction; dance; ecumenical church service; picnic in Ramsey Park, tours of Belview, Morton and Redwood Falls School buildings, motorcycle run and many other activities. 

 

Committees are meeting now to schedule events, find addresses of lost classmates and staff, reserve locations, and numerous other details to make this event fun and memorable for all participants.  Look for additional information and registration materials in upcoming issues of the Alumni News and Views and on this website.
