REMINDER - Reunion Survey  still a few days left for those who haven't responded; the DEADLINE April 7th: here is the link again if you should need it:  https://s.surveyplanet.com/sfk5uy23


Please keep me advised on your current email and postal addresses so that the database is up-to-date. If you have moved please shoot me a note with your new address/contact info.

Currently these are the folks that we don't have any contact info on, perhaps you know how to reach them; if so, please pass along this email address and have them contact me so they can be added to the mailing lists.  mahwahhighschool1976@yahoo.com



Here is the list of classmates with no contact info
no postal address or email address:
Carol Beynon  
Cathy Burns    
Debbie DeGroat
Tricia DeJean

Basically if you can help locate any of the classmates or know of some who haven't been receiving our emails, please have them contact me mahwahhighschool1976@yahoo.com.  As we get closer to a 50 year reunion it would be great to have contact info in place. Email is a cost effective way to contact everyone with the goings-on.
**I will put together a list of those whose emails have bounced back recently. Some classmates' postal addresses are on the database BUT I don't know how to confirm them since they don't have a working email address.  Watch for an email from me before the summer that updates names of folks we want to locate.

you will be hearing from me before the summer so watch your emails.
As always, thanks for your contributions and for reading this.
And excuse any strange formatting as this Blogger set-up seems to have a mind of its own some days!
Take care,
