Payson High class of 1994

It's All Over!

2009-09-10T10:19:00.000-07:00

The reunion was great! Thanks to all those who came! For those of you who couldn't make it, you were missed! The food was great. The weather was perfect. We owe a BIG thank you to Olson's Garden Shoppe. It was the perfect location. (They were so generous and didn't charge us.)

We also need to thank Lisa Morrison Montague for the yummy chocolates and A Viking's Feast for the delicious food. Thanks Kari and Steph for your help with the games! A big thanks also to Marcie, Monica and Michelle for the cute table of memorabilia!

We began the night with the pasta bar that had about 30 different options to add and then was cooked right in front us. It was followed by some delicious desserts. Everyone seemed to love the chocolate cake and the carrot cake. After eating we played a Payson trivia game provided by Stephanie and then gave out a few awards. The following awards were given;

Jeremy Ewell, for coming the furthest (all the way from Pennsylvania!)
Lena Kroeber Barney, for having the oldest child (15 and a half!)
Darryl Holdaway, for losing the most hair AND having the newest baby (7 weeks)
Marcie Jolley Swenson, for having the most educations (she has several degrees and is currently in law school)
Janene Christensen Lay, Lena Kroeber Barney and Nellyn Garlick Burke, for having the most kids (they each have 5)

After the games we all just stayed and visited. Mark Jones planned an after party out at his home and many of the classmates joined him.

The Student Body Officers will be in charge of the next reunion. We will be passing everything on to them. They will keep the blog, facebook and e-mail account so stay in touch! See you in 5 years!

Not to late.....

2009-09-03T14:30:00.000-07:00

We talked with the caterer to give them a final count and they told us that they would have a limited amount of extra food for the dinner. If you haven't paid and are still interested in coming please contact us so we can make sure there will be food for you! It will be $21 at the door. CASH ONLY! If you aren't interested in eating feel free to come and visit with everyone!

The Farm activity is also still open to everyone. Please contact Brent at brent.daley@nebo.edu

Can't wait to see you there!

Extended RSVP date

2009-08-22T15:04:00.000-07:00

If you go back a couple of posts you will see a big list of classmates that have not yet been contacted. We have found many off the list and are still looking for the rest. For this reason we are extending the deadline to pay for the class reunion dinner until Wednesday, Sept. 2nd. For this dinner you must pay in advance. At the last 2 reunions those in charge have been left paying a lot of their own money. We think you'll understand that we want to avoid this! You can pay here on the blog or e-mail Jamie at jamieorolfe@yahoo.com and she will e-mail you her home address and you can send her a check. If sending a check it must be mailed no later than Wednesday, Aug. 26th. We are giving you one more payment option for those that still live locally. You can drop off a check to Jamie's mom, Chris, at Olson's Garden Shop.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone. We currently have classmates coming from Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wyoming, Idaho, Arizona, California and Nevada! It's going to be a great time!

Reminder

2009-07-31T21:18:00.000-07:00

For those who are just hearing about the reunion and also as a reminder for everyone else we just wanted to post what we have planned for the reunion. Brent Daley is planning a family activity at his farm on Friday Sept. 4th starting at 4pm. He will be barbecuing for $5 per person or you are welcome to bring a picnic dinner of your own. Please RSVP to Brent and let him know. He is also inviting everyone to camp on his farm for the weekend if you would like. His e-mail is brent.daley@nebo.edu.

Saturday night we will be having a dinner at Olson's Garden Shop reception area at 6pm. A Viking's Feast will be catering the meal. We are having their "famous" pasta bar. It is delicious! We will also be having a dessert made by our classmate Lisa Morrison Montague's chocolate company, Sweet Creations by funfinity. You must pay for this event ahead of time. You can pay by using paypal here on the blog or contact Jamie at jamieorolfe@yahoo.com to pay by mail.

We hope to see you soon!

It's getting closer!

2009-06-18T13:57:00.000-07:00

Before we know it our reunion will be here! We have less than 3 months to go! We recently sent out our second e-mail with more details about the upcoming reunion. Again, if you did not receive it please contact us! We have heard back from many and are looking forward to hearing from everyone. Some have already said they will be unable to come. Tamra Farr sent an e-mail, unfortunately, she will not be able make it. She wishes everyone well. She lives in the greater Seattle area with her husband and 2 children. We will miss her at the reunion.

Dinner must be paid for in advance. You can pay online using the PayPal button on top right-hand side of the blog. Tickets are $21 per person. If you are bringing someone with you, make sure to purchase two tickets. When you purchase the tickets make sure to include your name (maiden name if you are married and have a new name) and the name(s) of any other individuals for whom you are purchasing tickets. This can be done at checkout. There is an option to include notes for the merchant...you can put your name there. Make sure to print a copy of the receipt. It will serve as your ticket for dinner. Otherwise, the caterer will have no way to know if you have paid (**the caterer will not be accepting payment on the night of the reunion).

If you want to save a dollar, you can mail a check to Jamie Olson Rolfe. Email her at jamieorolfe@yahoo.com to get her address. Instead of sending you an actual ticket, she will make a list of people who have sent her money.

All tickets must be purchased by August 21!! This is to ensure the caterer knows how many plates to prepare.

Update

2009-05-10T23:10:00.000-07:00

We are getting ready to send out our 2nd e-mail. If you didn't get the 1st please e-mail us with your info! We heard back from a lot of you and think the reunion will be a hit! Unfortunately, some have already said they will be unable to attend. One of them is Mike Ashton. He did update us on his life. He is living in a small town near Lake Tahoe and works at the local high school. He recently earned his Masters degree through the University of Nevada, Reno. He has 3 children, a son age 8, a daughter age 6 and another son age 2. It was great to hear from him and we'll all miss him at the reunion!

Welcome Tammy Bingham

2009-04-15T14:59:00.000-07:00

We are happy to add Tammy Bingham to our class list. Be sure to check out her blog. Tammy is especially in our thoughts and prayers at this time, as her dad was just put on hospice battling cancer. We wish your family the best Tammy!

Wow, Who Knew!

2009-04-08T11:26:00.000-07:00

Who knew it was so hard to send out a mass e-mail. I guess they are trying to protect us from all the spammers out there (which I totally appreciate), but come on! Does it really have to be impossible to send an e-mail out to more than 9 people at a time???? We ended up having to change our e-mail address yet again, because the Gmail account for some reason wouldn't send the message out at all. The new address is phslions1994@yahoo.com. Sorry for the confusion and change. I am sure there was a way to get it to work, but since I am computer illiterate, it was easier to just open a new account.
So, this time we really did send an e-mail out. We have heard back form several of you, so we know that it did go out. If you didn't receive it please let us know so we can get your correct e-mail address. We had a list from the last reunion that had e-mails on it, but a lot of the addresses are not correct. If you didn't get the e-mail you can either leave a comment on here with your correct address, or you can leave an e-mail at phslions1994@yahoo.com.
Thanks to all who have responded, and for all your offers to help. We will let you know what we need help with as it gets closer.

Class E-mail has changed

2009-03-26T05:21:00.000-07:00

We have received e-mails from several of you saying that you didn't get the e-mail that got sent out. We think it may have been the server we were using, so we have changed our e-mail address to phslions1994@gmail.com. Please make note of this change, and we are working on sending out the same e-mail again. Thanks for letting us know!

Welcome Jennilyn

2009-03-21T12:03:00.000-07:00

We wanted to welcome Jennilyn Keele to the blog. We are glad to have found her. Be sure to look at her blog.
Also we sent out the first e-mail reguarding the class reunion. If you didn't receive anything please please please let us know, because that means that we don't have your e-mail address.
Hope you are enjoying some of the sunshine.

We found Maren

2009-03-11T09:26:00.000-07:00

We have stepped up our efforts and found another classmate. Maren Blanchard has been added to our blog list. Welcome! It's been fun to read her blog and see where life has taken her!

Busy week

2009-03-08T18:55:00.000-07:00

We've been having some luck in finding classmates. We are happy to have found Zach Alvey. We are also preparing to send out a mass e-mail with details about the reunion. Watch for the e-mail and if you don't get it be sure to let us know!

2009-03-03T19:57:00.000-08:00

Annie Buys has joined our blog! Everyone needs to check out her blog. Her son is the cutest thing ever! Also people have been asking about who maintains this blog. It's me (Amberly Brown Welker) and Amy Oberg Johnson. Sorry, if we confused you. We just want this to be about our class and not us.

E-mail

2009-03-01T17:01:00.000-08:00

We are preparing to send out a mass e-mail to everyone whose address we have. If you have e-mail addresses of any classmates please e-mail us at phs1994@san.rr.com. Only 6 more months until the reunion! We can't wait!

Finally We have somebody new.

2009-01-28T08:44:00.000-08:00

We finally found a new classmate this week. Jarime Billings was added to the list. We also added the class of 2002 to the other PHS class list. Keep spreading the word. We are growing slowly, but would love to find as many people from our class as possible. Have a great week.

This Is Our Lucky Week

2008-11-29T20:27:00.000-08:00

We hope you all had a great holiday. Exciting news, we added Jennifer Ringger to our list today, so be sure to look at her blog. We also added the link for the class of 1995 blog . And one last treat for you, if you want to check out any of our old rivals of Spanish Fork, they also have a blog. Theirs is SFHS1994.blogspot.com . Enjoy!

We found another classmate

2008-11-23T19:03:00.000-08:00

We went a while without adding anybody, but we have a new classmate to add to the bloglist. We are adding Jessica LeBaron. Be sure to check out her blog. If any of your other friends from our class have a blog, pass the word along. We would love to add them too. Also we still need e-mail addresses. Thanks to all of you who have e-mailed yours to us. Have a great Thanksgiving!

Price

2008-10-02T15:48:00.000-07:00

We are trying to keep the price of the reunion as low as possible. That being said we would also like it to be a fun, memorable occasion. At the last 2 reunions, there have been classmates that have had to pay alot of their own money to make up the for the cost of the reunions. We will post here exactly what money is going where. As for the dinner, with set up costs and taxes, it should come out to about $17 per person (but well worth it). We are grateful to Jamie Olson and Olson's Garden Shoppe for allowing us to have the dinner there for free. This will save us alot of money. We do need to find chairs and tables. If anyone has access to tables and chairs please contact us. Otherwise, we will rent and thus add to the cost of the meal. Brent has given us several options for the family activity. Possibly, a Friday evening activity including a campfire and barbecue or a Saturday day activity on the farm. The price of the family activity is yet to be determined. It depends on what everyone wants to do. We would love to hear your opinion. So please leave a comment or e-mail us! We also would really like to get the word out via e-mail, this blog and Facebook. We will not be sending out letters through the mail. This would cost us nearly $200. So please help us to get the word out

15 year Class Reunion

2008-09-25T06:31:00.001-07:00

Wow, can you believe that it has already been almost 15 years since we graduated. It just doesn't seem possible! We are excited about the upcoming reunion, and are trying to plan some fun activites the you all will enjoy.

This year we want to have an activity where you can bring your families with you. (but, that doesn't mean that you need a family to come) Brent Daley has some great ideas for this. He has a farm that has some fun things to enjoy such as fishing, swimming, rowboats, canoes. He also thought games such as grease the pig, mud volleyball, cake walks, pie eating contests, musical chairs, scavenger hunts, etc etc, would be fun. We are toying with the idea of having a BBQ, and other fun treats, a live band, and a midnight movie.

We also want to have a nice dinner for the adults only. We are planning on having this at the Olsen's greenhouse, and having A Vikings Feast cater it. They have yummy food, and everybody that I have talked to that have used them, have loved the food. We are thinking a pasta bar, that has lots of fixings that you can put in, and then they cook it up right in front of you. It will be $16 a plate, which I think is very reasonable, considering that is about the price of going out to eat anywhere.

We are really looking forward to seeing you all again, and hope you all can make it. We are open to any ideas that you have as well. So, let us know of your ideas, and also if you are willing to help.

Class Reunion

2008-09-23T21:44:00.000-07:00

We are planning a reunion for next September 5th. We have booked A Viking's Feast to cater the dinner for us. Their food is delicious! They have a famous pasta bar that we will be having. You can view their website at http://www.avfcatering.com/ . We would also like to have a family picnic on Friday the 4th. We would love any help and/or suggestions we can get so please e-mail us at phs1994@san.rr.com. We hope to make this the best reunion ever!
