The 56th class reunion was a great success.  It took place at Spirit Mountain Casino on August 9 and 10.  About 20 attended.

Many thanks to John Owen for coordinating this first "annual" event!

And, 14 attended the August class breakfast in Newport on August 17.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have now been having monthly class breakfasts for more than 17 1/2 years!  

And that's a lot of pancakes and hashbrowns!

Did you notice?  Our site has now been viewed more than 50,000 times 

since we strarted it in 2013!

This site has had 50,346 visits since we started it in November 2013!

To make it easier for planning our calendars:

Based on our breakfast location history of the past few years, here is a  more-or-less schedule that we have begun using for our upcoming breakfasts . It is "more-or-less" because we can always make a change if it seems good to do so.  (For example, say if someone who lives farther away than Western Oregon should happen to come through, we are always happy to change our schedule to a date or location so they would be able to join us!!)  

ANNUAL REVOLVING BREAKFAST SCHEDULE:

Jan. & July       Woodburn or Wilsonville area

Feb. & Aug.      Newport

Mar. & Sept.     Spirit Mountain, Grand Ronde

Apr & Oct.        Tualatin or elsewhere on I-5

May & Nov.       Albany

June & Dec.     Salem  

The idea is to make the breakfast sites reachable for as many classmates as possible!

Do YOU have other ideas?  Other locations where you would like to meet for breakfast?  In the past we have tried the Eugene area a few times, but the turnout there was usually low.  We have never met in Corvallis, so that is another possibility.    Would really like to hear your ideas!

Please contact us at newportcubs63@yahoo.com and let us hear your ideas!
