Reunion 45: Friends for Life

Mary Carroll High School Class of 73
Two Event Weekend

• Friday Night Oct 12 
• Saturday Night Oct 13, 2018

Mark your calendars today and plan your trip to Port A this fall.

Reunion 45 Confirmed for October 12-13, 2018

After considering several venue locations, we feel our best choice is to host the event at Seashell Village Resort in conjunction with Third Coast Theater. Seashell Village is up and running and has 50 rooms for us to book. There is both a large outside area for us to use plus an inside area if weather chooses to not cooperate. Several other high schools have used this venue for reunions and gave us very positive feedback. It is just minutes from the beach access and looks like a super fun place to hang out with alumni. The date has changed from the original date we wanted. The new date for the reunion will be Friday and Saturday nights October 12-13, 2018. We apologize for any inconvenience from posting a different date in earlier posts.

Now that we have a confirmed date the Reunion Team is getting busy with plans to make this the second best reunion ever. (hard to beat the 40th but who knows). Friday night beach tent party with food, music, bonfire, and lots of hang time on the beach. Hang out together around town and go fishing, boating, eat some seafood, sand volleyball, rent a beach cart, or lay on the beach and read a good book. Saturday night main event with catered meal, music, more hang time, awards, and fun. As we get this going we will open up event registration again with all the details plus we will start posting details here at reunion central.

What can you do to help? Find and contact alumni to get them plugged in here and our Facebook page. If your email has changed since Reunion 40, send us a new email to carrollreunion@yahoo.com.

Reunion 45 Date and Location

The Reunion Committee thought that we better have another party since we "aint gettin" any younger. Next year, 2018, will mark our 45th year since we graduated and that deserves a big celebration. Mostly our 45th reunion will be a repeat from the 40th. According to a recent alumni survey, an overwhelming majority asked that it be in Port A near the beach and in October again.

Our biggest challenge is with Port A so torn up from hurricane Harvey. We have been in contact with many venues but not one could book us at this time. Most are saying that it will be Jan before they will start booking again. Please bear with us as we make plans for next year knowing that they are tentative at this point and will be confirmed as soon as we can.
Here it comes....wait for it....wait.....ok

REUNION 45: Friends for Life, Carroll Class of 73, will be held in Port A on October 5-6, 2018

There you have it Tiger friends. Once we are able to confirm a venue location we will do our very best to keep that date. There will be a Friday night beach event and a Saturday night party like never before. There will be accommodations on site as well. Just know that the Reunion Committee is working hard to make this event incredibly fun  and affordable for all.

Finding Alumni the Smart Way

Contact everyone alumni you can find and get them plugged in to the Facebook group and this blog. Make some calls, (like Maxwell Smart) send some emails, go by their house, or GOOGLE them. This is the biggest challenge at every reunion...finding alumni.

Host a mini-reunion in your area for lunch or dinner and get people connected for the big event in 2018. If we start now, we should have a great attendance.

Ready, set, go.......

REUNION 45 is a repeat!

The results are in and....its a repeat of reunion 40! Thank you for taking the class survey for our upcoming reunion 2018. We got a lot of great input from class members as to what they would like for the next reunion. If you attend Reunion 40 then you know what an incredibly fun weekend it was. The committee received tons of compliments from last time. Here is where we are in the process.

• Reunion Committee 40 re-upped and said yes to serving again. Of course we will need help from you
• The location has been set but we are working with the Sandcastle Event Center on a date in October most likely
• The big tent for the Friday beach party will be reserved
• A DJ or live band will be booked. The survey was tied on those two things so the committee will decide.
• Food vendors will be interviewed and selected.

As you can see it is already getting exciting for the event in 2018. The committee is pumped and ready to get in done.

Reunion 40 Memory Book Ordering

You may have been so excited and busy with the fun at Reunion 40, that you missed getting your picture taken by our event photographer and/or forgot to order your memory book. Earl Parr has shot all our reunions and does a fantastic job. In case you didn't notice, he was all around shooting pics of the event Saturday night. You are probably in there somewhere!

We committed to purchase a minimum of 40 of the awesome memory book Earl and the committee will be creating in the next several weeks. He received orders for 33 at the event so we need 7 more of you to make a purchase. The cost is just $20 for a lifetime of memories with quality pics of the best reunion yet. If you don't buy them, the committee will be billed for the remaining 7 needed to fulfill our commitment.

Don't miss the great opportunity to remember a great event! Order yours today by calling Earl Parr at 361-980-0991 or look him up at www.earparrphotography.com. Thank you so much!
