NEWS:  As some of you may have noticed, our permit to use the domain name "newportcubs.com" expired recently, and the site was off the air for a day and a half because we didn't get the notices about the expiration.  So, we have now renewed our domain name for another TEN YEARS!  We already had the money in our website fund ($17.95 per year) and some felt that we might still be wanting to connect with each other, even though most of us will be 84 by then!  So, we are good to go at least until 2029! 

ALSO, classcreator.com, the company that hosts this site, GAVE us extra vault space (where our pictures live on this site) at no extra cost to us.  Our allotted space was at 98+ % full.  When I called to inquire about the cost to increase our space, they graciously gave us 1 MB more space.  So now we are only at 66% full.  Thank you, Class Creator!

What's New on the Site?

Obituary for Mike Hargin, see In Memory section.

October breakfast pictures & financial report

New pictures of  Vicki LeMaster & friends, in Pictures from Years Past, 2010s

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

since we strarted it in 2013!

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

And that's a lot of pancakes and hashbrowns! 

----------

This site has had 52,020 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.        Tigard, 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!
