Our
2012 Reunion Agenda
11/23/11
Happy Thanksgiving to All ! ! !
Just a few items before the holiday for your information.
Corky Hyatt is hard at work on updating our web site, www.jayceereunion.com.
As always, she’s doing a great job.
One thing she’s working on is our full email list. The full
list includes a group that Frank started of the presidents and
exec com. he served with and a few others. The other list is
primarily Barry Kennedy’s Exec. Com. All three of these groups
are closely tied together since we all made each other look
good once upon a time. We hope more of these groups will join
us in Colorado. Those that have joined us in the past, seemed
to have a very good time.
If you have any photos of the Charleston golf tournament, please
forward them to Corky and copy me. We had some cameras that
were not working, but I know some of you did take photos. Corky’s
email address is corky@corkyhyatt.com.
If you have anything else you would like to share with the group,
please forward it to me or Corky or both.
Corky will soon have links to a lot of sites that may help you
plan your Colorado trip in July.
There are trips being planned for trout fishing in WY as well
as a Cheyenne Frontier Days outing for concert and rodeo, possibly.
We have interest in both, and both have web sites that will
be posted soon on our website “Links”.
We have two golfers that prefer something other than a shirt
for participation in the Morgan Allen Memorial tournament. We
have heard from no others. Please let your thoughts known.
We will continue to make some plans for the Rodeo and Fishing
and we will try to keep all informed.
The hotel does not make reservations on the web, so please call
to make your room reservations at The Plaza Hotel in Longmont,
CO. The phone number is (800) 843-8240, and you need to refer
to the Jaycee Reunion to get our $79.00 room rate. Make your
reservations ASAP.
We have one paid registration from Barry Kennedy. We will accept
more. Fill out the form attached and mail it with your check.
Send me any questions you may have about Colorado, and be sure
to check Corky’s work at www.jayceereunion.com.
Until the next time ----------------

It’s
all coming together for our Colorado reunion next summer. The
dates are set for July 26-29, Thursday thru Sunday, as always.
The final schedule still has some fine tuning to do, but a tentative
agenda is attached along with our registration form. I hope
all the sites will be valuable to you as you make your plans.
The
headquarters will be the Plaza Hotel in Longmont, Co. The rooms
are being remodeled prior to our meeting, and they were already
nice when we visited last summer. The Hospitality Suite and
Convention Center will allow for most of our “events” to be
at the hotel, and the golf course, Ute Creek Golf Course, is
only a few miles away for the Friday morning Morgan Allen Memorial
Tournament.

The
Hotel site is http://plazahotellongmont.com/.
Do not register on the web site. You need to call (800)
843-8240 and make your reservation in order to get our group
rate of $79.00 per night. That rate will also apply to early
arrivals and those staying over after the reunion. Call
the 800 number and tell them you are with the Jaycee Reunion
and they will take care of you. They seem to be very good
folks to host us.
-
The
Golf Course site is http://www.golflongmont.com/ute_home/.
You golfers let me know in the next month or two if you
would rather have some other golf based souvenir of the
Morgan Allen Memorial other than a shirt. If you will let
me know, we will try to get some good golf based items rather
than the shirt if you wish. If you still want the shirt,
that’s what we will do. Please email me and let me know
your preference.
The
prices allow us to keep the same cost for registration we had
in Charleston and include a Friday night group function along
with the Hospitality Suite, event shirt and Saturday Night Banquet
as always. The Friday night event is not yet finalized, but
it will be something with a western theme.
To
assist in the planning for your trip, the sites and activities
of the area include:
-
Less
than 16 miles away is the city of Boulder, CO at the base
of the Rocky Mountains. A site for Boulder is http://www.bouldercoloradousa.com/.
About
33 miles away in the Rocky Mountains and gateway to the
Continental Divide is Estes Park, CO. A site for Estes Park
is http://www.estesparkcvb.com/.
If
you like to gamble and drive on a beautiful mountain road,
the Las Vegas of Colorado, about 53 miles from Longmont,
is Blackhawk, CO. A site for Blackhawk is http://www.blackhawkcolorado.com/.
The
capital and largest city in Colorado is Denver, and the
Denver area has a lot to do. A site for Denver is http://www.denver.org/.
If
you want to plan your trip to include all the sites around
Colorado Springs, and there are a lot including the Air
Force Academy, a website for Colorado Springs is http://www.visitcos.com/.
Colorado Springs is about two hours south of Longmont and
through Denver on I-25. With the distance, you may want
to plan a stop here coming or going.
If
you ever wanted to go to a first class rodeo, this could
be your opportunity. The “Granddaddy of them all”, the Cheyenne
Frontier Days Rodeo, will be in session the week of our
reunion in Longmont. Cheyenne, WY is about 77 miles north
of Longmont on I-25. I have attended this rodeo twice in
my life. The last time was about 15 years ago or so. I may
try to include a visit next year before we gather in Longmont.
It is quite an experience. Take a look at their web site
at http://www.cfdrodeo.com/.
I’m sure there will be more discussion about this soon.
This is such a big deal rodeo with name brand entertainment
that you may need to make your plans to attend very soon
in order to get tickets for the night you want. I recommend
you spend a full day at the event as well as an evening
performance. There is a lot to see and do.
I
am sure there are some errors in this email since it was put
together in a hurry. Please let me know if any of them are important
and I will try to correct them.
I
believe this location and the interest shown already will lead
to the best turn-out ever. I hope you will join us for the fun
and relaxation.
I
want to make a special invitation to the additional associates
from the Ziebell group of Presidents and the Kennedy Exec.Committee
to join us. We have had several of the “Add Asses” join us at
the past couple of reunions, and I could not tell that they
had any less fun than the rest of us. Make plans to join us
in Colorado if you can. We would like to swap stories with you,
too.
Make
this your family vacation for 2012. If I had the money and the
time (as many of you have, I’m sure!!), I would take a couple
of days before the reunion to go to the Cheyenne Frontier Days
Rodeo, and I would take a couple of days to explore the Colorado
Springs area attractions after the reunion. Along with the free
time in the Longmont area during the reunion, this could be
a great vacation, tour or get-away for you and your family.
Here’s
a good place to remind you that your family is welcome to these
reunions. We have had kids before to join us, and I’m sure we
are about to have some grandkids join us, soon. Bring your family
and make a family vacation out of it as you give us the chance
to tell them stories about you when you were young!!!
If
I missed anything you would like to know, let me know and I’ll
see what I can do. If you have any inside info about the Longmont
area and Colorado, let us know and we will pass it along. We
want to continue to have our reunions with enough free time
to enjoy the area and enough “together” time to catch up on
what’s happening with each of us.
Email
and call those in our group that you would like to see and ask
them to join us. I think we are all in store for another great
time together. Help us make it the best ever!!!

Gang,
A couple of updates since our last blast regarding our Reunion
next summer:
First on registration and the revised registration form: We
have our first registration in hand!!! Welcome back Barry and
Diane Kennedy. We missed you in Charleston.
Next, I noticed on Barry’s form that we do not separate the
Men’s sizes from women’s sizes for the shirts. I have separated
them for the event shirts, and I will assume the same for golf
shirts for the ladies that play golf if we do get golf shirts.
Also regarding registrations ------- I have had positive responses
about attending from Phil Marrti, Bob Schorzman, David Bennion,
Bill Porter, Frank Ziebell, David Williams, Cecil Watkins, Jim
Hyatt, Glenn Harger, and Dock Hanks.
I have also had a bunch of base touching with everyone with
an AOL email address because there were issues with the first
email blast with AOL addresses for some reason. The net result
is that we are still in touch with our AOL users.
Regarding golf shirts: Only one vote was returned regarding
the golf shirt question. Should we have a golf shirt or some
other golf related souvenir for the golfers?? That one vote
was for no golf shirt. All you golfers let us know your vote.
Shirt or other.
Two of our group have suggested excursions for early in the
week of the reunion in Wyoming.
First, there is some great fishing in
Wyoming. Bill Porter has recommended that if you are
interested in a pre-reunion fishing trip, Wyoming might be a
great idea. He suggests that you take a look at http://www.fourseasonsanglers.com/.
Bill
Porter has had some very positive experiences with these folks
and recommends them. Good Fishing!!
Second, the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo
was suggested in the last blast. David Bennion thinks that is
a good idea. We think Charlie Daniels Band will be at the rodeo
for a concert on Tuesday night,, July 24th. The idea is that
all that are interested can meet in Cheyenne, WY on that Tuesday,
go to the concert on Tuesday night, go to the rodeo on Wednesday
afternoon and then drive on down to Longmont, CO after the Rodeo
on Wednesday. Let us know if you are interested and we will
begin to see what we can find out about specifics. That rodeo
web site is http://www.cfdrodeo.com/.
Let us hear your ideas for the trip. Give us any updated email,
address or phone information on you if those things have changed
in the past year or two. I got a nice email from John Holden
stating that he has moved from MT to AZ for retirement. I’m
not sure AZ can stand Hlusak, Schorzman and Holden!!
Registrations are being accepted.
The trip should be a good one.
Hope
you can join us.

Gang,
We
are about set for our 2012 Reunion in Longmont, CO. The basic
plans to this point include the dates of July 26-29, 2012. The
headquarters hotel is the Plaza Hotel in Longmont. The golf
course has been picked, and there is to be a Friday night Chuck
Wagon Dinner with Cowboy entertainment.
The
committee of Harger, Hyatt, Hanks and Watkins will be together
next week in KY to be joined for one evening by Williams and
Hewlett. Plans will be finalized by the end of next week and
a full tilt agenda and registration form will be coming your
way by the 20th.
Right
now, be sure the dates are reserved. These dates had no conflicts
with anyone that responded, and about 20 or so of us responded
to indicate they would attend if they did not have a conflict.
This looks like a good turn out.
More
to come soon!! Thanks,
Dock
