Re: Class of 1954 celebrating our 80th birthdays

Classmates... in case I didn't reach all of you with the 
e-mail I sent last week, I am posting a notice in the 
Sandstorm to let you know our plans.

Rosy's is closed!! They do not know when or if they will open
again, so we have made other plans for our birthday party on
Saturday, September 10th. We will meet in the restaurant at
the Richland Red Lion at NOON!!! We are very sad to see this
wonderful restaurant, Rosy's, suffering problems that have
led them to this point. We can only hope they can recover and
serve the public again soon!!!

The restaurant at the Red Lion has closed to the public,
serving lunch, so they will allow us to use it and we will be
able to buy our lunch with a limited "'50s" hamburger or hot
dog and fries for a flat fee of $10. Drinks will be extra!!
We will have a beautiful birthday cake and hopefully be 
able to get a lot of pictures around the cake!!! I would
appreciate hearing from those of you who have not notified me
whether or not you will be there, so the chef knows how much
to plan for. Since they are not normally open for lunch
anymore, they will be only supplying this for our class.
Thankfully, they will NOT charge us a fee to use the space!!
So far, I figure we will have at least 50 classmates there!! 

Even if you are not attending Club 40 that weekend, please
come to our 80th BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!

Re: Club 40 annual meeting/election

To the Board Members of Club 40, we will be meeting at 10am
on Saturday, September 10th in the Red Lion Lounge for our
annual meeting. This will be a short meeting and primarily we
will cover our election of 2016-2017 Officers. Please plan to
attend!!! You will be voting for new Officers!

Re: Club 40 website

You can now go to Club 40 website and find all of the
Attendees who have pre registered to attend our celebration
next weekend, September 9th and 10th, 2016!!! There are 182
registered for Friday and 147 registered for Saturday.
Remember, we will have a fun Raffle both nights and one of
those nights we will have a very special, hand carved wooded
sculpture like we had a few years ago!!! Donated by the
husband of one of my classmates, 1954!!! Dale does a
wonderful job and everyone will want this!!! 

This year has gone by so fast and can hardly wait for our fun
weekend, September 9th and 10th!!!

Registration table will open at 4:30 PM to pick up your name
tags, both nights!!

See you there!!!

Re: Tri-City Sports Scores

To: Roy BALLARD ('63)

I am frequently irritated by the absence of scores in the
TCHerald from the previous evening. I learned that the 
paper is now printed in Yakima, not Kennewick, and that the
deadline is much earlier than it used to be for printing
scores and other news. This may be one of the reasons that
you were directed to the online Herald for scores. I assume
that they can be updated on line long after the printed paper
has been "put to bed." I also understand that the paper is
struggling to keep going at all, which is why it is so much
thinner than it used to be and why certain features are
skimpier than they used to be. I HATE being directed to the
Internet for details on anything (call me old fashioned) and
am grateful that we have a paper at all. Many have folded (no
pun intended).

Re: Quonset Huts

I don't have any photos of the Quonset Huts, but I was there
with you. I had Mrs. Bern out there for homeroom, I believe.
I was there in the mornings... I think I remember.

To: Roy BALLARD ('63)

The Tri-Cycle Herald is printed in Yakima now... then shipped
to the Tri-Cities. They shut off a lot of news about evening
games so that they can get to press on time. Many times you
will see "So and so team was leading 14 to 10 when we went to
press, read final results in tomorrow's paper." We get our
paper delivered as early as 3:30 AM. The only reason that I
continue so subscribe is for the obits just to make sure that
I am not in them.

Re: scores

To: Roy BALLARD ('63)

There weren't a lot of scores in Saturday's TCH as they
completed after the paper went to press. That's why you never
see a Mariner night game score if it's on the west coast. It
seems they could go to press a little later but guess then it
would make it late coming in the morning.
