Hello Ballard Class of 1966 classmates,
 Can you believe that another month has past by and now it’s just 2 months until our next picnic? Please make sure there’s a mark on your calendars for September 14^th 2019. It will be at the same location in Maltby just down Paradise Lake Road at Sally Jo and Ron’s nostalgic village from 12 noon until 6 pm. We have decided to have the same menu as last year with the addition of a baked potato.
BBQ Chicken
Pork ribs
Baked beans
Baked Potato (new item)
(Including: butter, cheese, sour cream & bacon bits)
Coleslaw 
Cornbread
Dessert
Beverages including wine, beer, water and soft drinks
 After a long and exhausting debate on what the ticket price should be we came to a full agreement of just $25.00 per person. This happens to be the same price as before and as before you pay at the door. Even though the catering companies prices went up we were able to absorb the increase with the money we received from our donation box.
 The rules at the picnic remain in effect. No small children, no pets and a designated smoking area. Please show respect to the private property owners as you have in the past so that we will be reassured of being invited back again.
Again we want to apologize for the continuance of these mailings even after you have indicated to us that you will be or not be coming. We just want you to know that we are constantly thinking of you. Please let Bonnie know if you plan to attend so she can have your name tag waiting there for you.  blangsea@comcast.net or 206-361-6619
This is how I see the day unfolding:
1) A time to visit.
2) Food time.
3) Dessert time.
4) Movie time
5) Another time for visiting.
6) Hugs and kisses.
I am not brave enough to put a clock time on this schedule.     
Please continue to exercise and maintain a healthy life style. If you feel anxious or depressed please seek assistance. Avoid the things that bring on stress. It’s often difficult to get people to try new ways of doing things, especially if they have been doing something in a particular way for a long time. As we become older there are going to be many adjustments we will have to make but all’s you need is the will and the opportunity. Talk among yourselves to see what others are doing to compensate and always remember that we are still in this boat together. I have found that I can sit for long periods of time without tiring.  
 Please keep in contact with us should your Email change and as always, we want to thank you so much for your continued trust and support in our class as a whole. Without you we would find it most difficult in keeping us all together as one. Our class website address is ballard1966.com
 Please continue to stay healthy, hopeful and in good spirit because we all wish to see you again in September. Thank you.
 Your Ballard High School Class of 1966 Reunion Committee.
