Wow!  Where has the time gone.  It seems like just the other day we were headed to class at Pioneer, flash forward 40 years later and here we are.  Many of us have children that have graduated college, gotten married, and some even given you grand kids.  Some of us have also lost parents and our classmates along the way.  As we reflect on our lives and our journey of how we got from making friends and attending Pioneer to where we are in our lives now, we are truely blessed.  Yes we have had some hard times and struggles, but through it all I think there is an underlying thread that differentiates our Class of 84, from others and that is our ability to put it all on the line and just commit to life to happiness and to friends.  I remember those hallowed halls we walked as being a time of great comraderie, trial and error, laughter, fun and mischief.  I am so excited that we can all come together and share our memories, and have a good time.  We hope you all can get back to your roots and JOIN US for our 40th Year Reunion!  Here We Go Pioneer, Here We Go!

Class Pioneer "84" , Dr. Monica Carter

 Prices have gone up substantially since our last reunion which was 5 years ago.  We tried to get the best inclusions at a good price.

Sponsors Needed

We kept the price as low as we could even though higher than other years hoping that our Classmates instead of Donating this year to the Pioneer Fund, we would like our Classmates to Sponsor an item below, specifically contributing money will allow us to keep the ticket price lower.  The Committe will purchase and set up all items.  If you are interested just send an email with the dollar amount you would like to Sponsor and we can apply it to one of the items below.  Thanks in Advance for your generosity here.  The event venue is very nice so the committe felt that it justifies the ticket price with the inclusions it offers.

*Friday Night Champagne Toast - Sponsor Sybil Kiskin

*Ballons 2 bouquets needed (approximate cost per bouquet $60/apiece) - Dr. Monica Carter (1), Another Sponsor needed
