Announcements & News - 6/3/19

CORRECTIONS:  We are sending this second eblast today.  In an eblast earlier today, the dates for reunion events were incorrectly listed as being in JUNE instead of the correct month JULY.
 
Dear IHS 1964 Classmates,

Happy Summer of 2019.  Hopefully, no classmates are experiencing the tornado activity and  flooding that is happening north of Louisiana.  We are just experiencing HOT!  90's this week -- and DRY.  Of course, knowing LA weather changes, this could all be different tomorrow.

Lots of news..............

The countdown continues:  
 
38 days until NBR Reunion
  39 days until our Friday Night gathering
  40 days until our Saturday Dinner / Dance


Twelve members of the Reunion Committee met 2 weeks ago to finalize plans and discuss last minute tasks to be done.  We do have some additional activities scheduled.  Please join us for some or all of the events.
  • Thursday, JULY 11, 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. - North Baton Rouge Reunion at the Belle of Baton Rouge.  No charge but a request is made to bring non-perishable items for the Baton Rouge Food Bank.  Many of our classmates leave between 8 and 9  and go to the Pastime for Pizza.
     
  • Friday, JULY 12, 10:00 a.m. - Tour of Istrouma High School.   Use front entrance or  entrance on 38th Street (more parking at this entrance).  Meet at 38th street entrance area.  Mr. Douglas, the Principal, will give us a tour of the newly renovated school and tell us of the current educational opportunities for students.
     
  • Friday, JULY 12, 11:30 a.m.  - Visit our Nawaganti Indian donation at the East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library at 7711 Goodwood Blvd.  The exhibit is in the Baton Rouge Room on the second floor. Meet in the foyer on the main floor.  Dutch treat lunch at the library cafe afterwards for those who can stay and visit.
     
  • Friday, JULY 12, 5:30 to 10:00 - Visit with us at an Informal Gathering at the Natchez Room of the Crowne Plaza Hotel at 4728 Constitution Avenue.  Unfortunately, we will probably not have refreshments but there is The Patio Grill and a bar off of the lobby that one can visit.

     - Registration: 6:00 - 6:30 p.m.

REMEMBER:  DEADLINE FOR HOTEL ROOM RESERVATIONS at our discounted rate is JUNE 12th.

Also, it was suggested at the Reunion Committee Meeting that we recognize classmates who have notable accomplishments. Do you know a classmate who started the Motorcycle Awareness Campaign? A classmate who is a Bagpiper? A gun safety instructor? Were any of us in certain places for certain events such as Woodstock or the  Super Bowl? Received  professional recognition, had military accomplishments, was in a medical profession, was an  educator or minister? Had sports accomplishments? Visited all 50 states, invented something, sky dived,  is an airplane pilot, or has published a book?  While some people may not want to send in their own notable accomplishments, others can -- if you know of an accomplishment of a classmate - send to Lydia (alpha32828@gmail.com) or Carolyn (cpellender@yahoo.com) or to our class e-mail (ihs1964@yahoo.com).

Send us your data for our database

We  published a 50th Reunion Booklet that was given out to everyone at the July event and wanted to include as many listings as possible. If you weren't listed or want to change data - addresses, phone numbers, family info, and what you've been doing.  Many of you have been contacted recently via phone or email by the Reunion Committee and we have up to date reports.  However, there area a lot of folks with old data on file, so if you haven't already done so, please send us your data using our convenient new online form or the traditional printed "snail mail" version.  We would hope that most folks will use the online form since it reduces the amount of typing the committee volunteers have to do! 

Visit the 50th Reunion Page  http://ihs1964.com/register.html

Missing Indians

We've maintained and updated the classmates list from our 45th reunion and will use it and recent information to keep our database current. A list of "Missing Indians" has been posted and will be updated each week as we find people and move them to the "found" list. With just a few months left, we'll need help from volunteers. Please help us find the missing classmates and faculty members.
 

Send photos and news

In case you haven't visited our Gallery Pages, there are many photos there that classmates have scanned and emailed to us for everyone to see.  Send us your photos along with captions.  Scan at 300 dpi or less to keep the size down.  Send to ihs1964@yahoo.com  .

Everyone likes to read news about their friends from school, especially if they are out of touch or far away. So, send us news to include on our website.  Just email to ihs1964@yahoo.com .
