Crispus Attucks High School Classes of 1962, 1963, and 1964 “Reunion 50” “A Celebration of Life’s Changes and Challenges” Greetings Classmates, Enclosed in this letter are the long awaited details of our upcoming “50th Class Reunion. The Reunion Planning Committee has been working hard to ensure a memorable celebration of the 50th anniversary of our graduation. We have planned an event keeping in mind today’s fragile economy and the reality of working with limited seed money. That being said we want to strongly encourage all of you to attend “our” reunion but we really need you to adhere to the deadlines we have established. Reunion 50 will only be possible if we have your financial commitment to participate. The party will begin Saturday, September 21, 2013, at Crispus Attucks Medical Magnet High School, 1140 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202, with a Meet and Greet starting at 6:00pm. As a cost saving measure all reunion events will occur on Saturday only. We are contracted for use of the school from 6:00pm to 11:00pm. Thus we will have to end the activities at 10:30pm. During the one hour Meet and Greet light refreshments will be served while you catch up with old friends and classmates, visit the world class Crispus Attucks Museum, muse over the class photos 62, 63, 64 as well as the ones from the recent graduating classes of 2011-2013. A professional photographer will be available during this time to take individual photos that you can purchase and take home with you. Classmate Carl Black will capture this occasion, our 50th Reunion with a group picture. Arrangements to purchase this group photo(8x12) can be made through Carl’s business known as “Photos By Jake” the night of the reunion. Dinner and program will commence at 7:00pm with dancing and further opportunities to mingle continuing until 10:30pm. We will be dancing to 60’s music provided by a DJ. A couple more important details about the reunion are cost and dress. The cost has been kept to a reasonable $45 per person which includes Meet and Greet, Buffer Dinner, Souvenir Package, Dancing. The occasion will require us to dress to impress and no denim please. Now for some pertinent details about the souvenir booklet that will be a part of your reunion package. To help with defraying some of the cost of the reunion it is necessary that you join the committee in selling or purchasing Ads or obtaining patrons for the three level of giving. Doing one or both of these will not only minimize our expense to put on a reunion and keep our assessment manageable for all to attend as well as enable us to secure funds to give back to our school in some way. At previous reunions we solicited funds to aid us in giving back to our alma mater in the form of a donation, purchase of a needed item for the school, or to provide scholarships to graduates. There are those of you who may be unable to attend the reunion but want to make a donation, please feel free to do so. An opportunity will present itself later in the letter. Another suggestion on how you might help with selling of Ads is to secure ads for your own business or from establishments you do business with. Ads are not limited to business. If you would like to purchase a personal Ad offering congratulatory greetings to the success of the reunion, family photos, in memoriam for deceased family members who may have attended Attucks. There are three levels of Patron giving: Green level is $50, Gold level is $25 and White level is $10. Ad cost: Full page $100, ½ page $50, ¼ page $25, business card $10 for black and white; add $5 for color. For questions regarding Ads, contact Ethel Milligan Middlebrook (317) 508-4484 In order for the planning committee to meet deadlines for the printing of the souvenir booklet, make deposits to vendors, caterer, and our place of venue for the reunion we must establish July 31st as the deadline for your copy ready ads with full payment, patron list, and your non-refundable $25 partial deposit towards your reunion assessment fee. Fees: All payments (money order or cashier checks only) are to be sent to Carl Black, Planning Committee Treasurer, 3612 Forest Manor Ave., Indianapolis, IN 46218-1564.
