North Platte High School
40-Year Class Reunion
It is that time again! The North Platte High School 40-year reunion is scheduled for July 29-31, 2016. This time we are considering opening the invitation to other NPHS alumni classes 1974-1978 so that they can share in the fun. Their invites would be by word-of-mouth and via Facebook.
Friday night events will be held at Wild Bill’s Wings and Bowling at 1100 S. Jeffers. Besides getting reacquainted there is the opportunity to eat, drink, bowl, and play laser tag among other entertainment that is in the planning stages. The cost of food, drinks, bowling and laser tag will be the responsibility of each individual. There will be a “coupon” toward the cost of a drink handed out at the door to the first 50 people who arrive. The fee for Friday night is $5 In which you can purchase here in events.
Saturday’s event will be held at the Holiday Inn Express, 300 Holiday Frontage Road (behind the old Kmart property where Hobby Lobby is now located). We will feature DJ Bruce Lee (NPHS Class of 1974) as the entertainment. There will be a buffet dinner, a silent auction, a 50-50 drawing, slideshows with pictures of classmates throughout the years and a memorial slideshow for those who have passed on. Other things are being considered and are listed on the back of this page.
Sunday will be an outdoor family day at the Lincoln County Wildlife Club with possible use of the Lake Maloney Ski Club. This will either be a brown bag/barbecue. The class will furnish hotdogs. Water gear is welcome. There will be volleyball, swimming and beer drinking (bring your own) if desired.
We are also going to have a float in the Nebraskaland Days Parade on June 18th. Anyone who is in town and is interested in riding/walking with the float should indicate so on the registration form.
A very awesome website has been built for our class. Please visit the page (url is listed below) and build your profile. You can pay the registration fee, the cover for Friday night, pictures and the memory book on this site. There is a 6 percent (minimum $3) processing charge. You can fill in all the information that is online.
We have worked hard to find as many classmates from our high school years. Thanks to the internet the list is probably the most complete over past years. This should lead to the biggest and best reunion ever. We hope that you seriously consider joining us – it will be one that you won’t want to miss!
Following are things in the works for the reunion, in memory, etc. We ask that you consider donating toward the cause(s):
· Christmas house to the Cody Park Santa’s Workshop project. This would be seen by the public for years to come and would be known as “the house that the NPHS Class of 1976 built”. We would ask for volunteers to build it, donations of materials to build it, items for the display, etc. Monetary donations are also welcome.
· Monetary donations to do something in the memory of classmate Susie Carlson Maupin for all the work that she put into planning past reunions. Susie passed away in January 2015.
We plan to have some or all of the following to raise money for the above projects: a raffle, auctions, and a 50/50 drawing. More details to be posted later. Donation of time, items, gift cards, game tickets, and other items would be appreciated.
We will be posting to the Web site and on Facebook regularly to update everyone as plans progress. We can also email notifications once we have email addresses. Please feel free to contact us with questions. You may donate through this site or if you have any question contact one of the committee members.
