About me:
Greetings Eagles!
Here's an update on the George Washington High School Class of 1983 (+1980-85 Friends) Reunion, taking place April 25, 2009!
Shortly, you will receive an Evite (gwhs1983andfriends at yahoo dot com) with all the details, including a URL to share with others!
The RSVP process is being moved to Evite to centralize communication for everyone! Facebook & Classmates-dot-com (while invaluable) have made the process a little fragmented. Alums not registered at these sites are getting left out altogether!
Please expect your Evite shortly, and PLEASE SHARE this UPDATE and Yahoo address with your Facebook & Classmates-dot-com contacts (we can't reach them from here or Evite w/o an actual address)!
Don't hesitate to forward us email address additions, corrections, etc.-- we will respect everyone's privacy!
Questions are welcome too! If it's not covered on the Evite, just drop a note!
And finally, PLEASE- DO NOT CALL Park (Beach) Chalet for any reunion info.! They are not hosting this event, and know nothing about it! Contact us- we'll respond!
Hope to see you next month!
GO EAGLES!!!

Tropical Tiki Office
As avid collectors, homeowners Mel Waldorf and Jessica Lindsey have a jackpot of fun finds to use, so creating a very personalized space is easy. While incorporating bright and fun elements, host Karen McAloon and the Design Remix team give the room purpose, clear up clutter and form functioning workspaces. The result is a home office that's practical, yet playful and as tempting as a tropical tiki island!
