Gaining exposure:
I just submitted a request to have our blog added to the list of local bloggers at http:\\www.greensboro101.com.
That site is a very active blog aggregator for local Triad bloggers. It'll take a week or so before my request to be processed. Check out the greensboro101.com site regularly to see when our site gets added...Good local news and information content, too.
I'm in the process of completing something along the lines of a Public Service Announcement (PSA) for local media to use to inform the public about our reunion event. I'll be able to get something off to WQFS 90.9 FM, Guilford College radio before the first broadcast of the PSA which I hope will be next Sunday morning on the "Sunday Morning Rehab show" from 10am - 12pm. Hosted by our own David Butler WGHS class of 1973.
Initial efforts to secure resources and sites for our reunion weekend:
I talked to some of the staff at The Revival Grille and it should be no problem to hold a social get-together of alumni after the ballgame at the Grille. I'll formalize getting the bar area and/or the banquet room reserved as soon as I can catch up with Todd or Mark. *Andy may have already secured the space. We'll sort this out by the end of the next meeting this coming Wednesday nite.
Suggestions, misc. updates, etc.:
Jay wants the blog to be a little brighter so that the words are easier to read.
Seems like a good idea. Working on that.
I'm working on creating a portable Windows Outlook email Distribution list of all of our contacts. ...what a drag that little task is but it'll bd good. I'll talk to Wendy about this. She may already have this done.
Jeff is suggesting that we contact a local hotel to see if we can get discount rate for out of town visiting alumni for the Homecoming weekend. Seems like a stellar idea. Also, seems like we did something like that last time. Anybody know how to do that and would be willing to take on that task?
That's about it for today.
Go hornets!

Hi Guys, I just saw your blog added to 101!!! This is Beth from greensboring.com, I'm WGHS class of 95!!! Just wanted to say hi!
Hi Charlie,
Thanks for adding your blog to Greensboro101. Normally, it does take up to two weeks for new blogs to appear, but I received your submission hours before I was making the next update.
30 years, huh? Wow. I hope it's a blast.
Charlie, everything looks great.
Jay, Brighter? Sounds like some one might need some new cheater-readers...can't leave home without them!
I think it looks great! Thanks for doing all this, Charlie.
I hope we don't need the senior- sized print yet...that's depressing! No bi-focals for me. I'll just squint...
Charlie, I'm going to give this another try using Jeff's notes.
I will be glad to make calls and see who will give us the best deal for our out-of-town classmates. Since I won't be able to make the meeting tomorrow night, please confirm back and let me know if you want me to proceed.
Thanks for all your hard work on the blog!
As for seeing, I tried squinting, and everyone thought I was p-o'd...and no matter how hard I try, I STILL can't read a menu without my glasses. Well, at least I can still remember (most the time) where my glasses are....
