MIA Classmates-We are still trying to corral those who have not been contacted.

If you have contact information for someone who is not included in the email blast, please forward that information to Erika, Alicia, or Naresha. We still need a graduation program. This will help us figure out who is still missing. Eric Dorsey suggested that we leave contact info at BTW for those who want to participate. Dorliza suggests that we use Houston Chronicle’s Thursday supplement which is free to post.

Dues- The dues established is in the amount of $25. It will go toward class reunion events and will be deducted from the total balance of our reunion activity fees. All monies will be deposited into a free checking Wells Fargo account, which was established by our personal banker Naresh (boy twin) and Erika. Alicia and Erika are the signatories governing the bank account established for the class of ’88 reunion events. If anyone wants to donate at any of the events, this will be deducted as well from your final reunion activities fees. Your $25 dues payment is your commitment to participate in the class reunion events and is nonrefundable.

P.O Box- A P.O Box was established which costs $52/year. This will be deducted from our checking account. BTW/HSEP Class of 88, C/O Alicia Green-Scott, P.O. Box 691813, Houston, TX., 77269
