A super big thank-you to Bev Sochaski for her hours and hours of work keeping our bookkeeping in order. Bev works full time and yet put countless hours into the success of the weekend.

Thanks to Don Sochaski for his quiet, calming influence when we became a slight bit flustered over one thing or another.

A big thank-up you to The Reunion Committee for attending the countless meetings and for all the work at getting addresses, mailing letters, etc., etc.

Another big thank-you to all the volunteers and residents of Ridgedale and area for helping in any way to the success of the weekend. The town was all dressed up for company and it looked sooo very smart.

A wonderful job was done by the caterers we hired to feed you for the weekend. Also to Karen Scammell for doing the arranging with them.

Thank-you to Barb Messenger and Barb Dick for the work keeping the coffee pots on at the Senior Hall and the Centennial Hall and to all of those who brought baking for all of us to enjoy.

Thank-you to all who brought items for the silent auction and to all who purchased them. Hope you were not too disappointed if you didn't have the highest bid.

The parade was impressive. Thanks to all participants and to our announcers Don and Shelley for doing our version of the Rose Bowl Parade. Thanks to Murray and Brenda for the sound system and music for the dance.

Thank-you to Alynn and her crew for doing such a great job of cleaning up the rink and making sure the beer gardens ran so smoothly.

Thanks to Sonya Meier for the idea of having fireworks (A first for Ridgedale) and then getting sponsors to pay for them. GREAT JOB Sonya.

Thanks to the many, many sponsors who helped in any way to make the weekend a success.

Thanks to Rev. Shaw for a beautiful church service and to his wife, Joan for all the tying.

I was asked if there was a way people could post their pictures. I am working with some technical wizards and will let you know what they come up with.

I am sure I have forgot someone. If I have, please consider yourself thanked.

All the best to everyone. Hope everyone arrived safely back at their homes. Dianne Barber (Hancock)
