Tentative plans...

Thanks to Cindy and Ronnie Rennels, we have some information on the costs of holding our 50th reunion at the Holidome in Elk City. The banquet rooms, which open onto the holidome area range from $100 (accomodating 30-40 people) to $150.00 (accomodating up to 60 people). The Holiday Inn offers food/snack/drink service if needed...we would probably need these services.

If you plan to stay in the Inn, rooms on the upper level are $95/day; ground floor rooms facing the outside are $99/day; and ground floor rooms facing the inside are $105/day (NOTE: all rooms come with a hot, full breakfast for up to four people!!)...sounds like a good deal to me. Carolyn has already demanded three of our four shares.

We haven't yet committed to holding our function at the Holiday Inn, but if we do, Cindy suggests that we call the Holiday Inn direct (580-225-6637) instead of the 800 reservation line. When you call, mention the Hammon Class of '59 rate special. A decision will be made very soon about where we plan to meet.

Usually, we take up a collection at the end of the festivities to handle the bill. Occasionally, the amount collected has been more than needed. I pocketed the difference. We could also estimate the cost of the event and spread it among the attending graduates ahead of time. It's up to you. I prefer the former since it has been so personally lucrative over the years.
