The caterer is lined up for the Sunday meal following service in WB. Mailings have been sent to WB and WWG alumni. Lost the computerized database for Walnut Grove and re entering information is underway. Next years seniors will design a t shirt for the reunion. Current and retired teachers will host a teacher tea in both Westbrook and Walnut Grove Saturday morning. Both Westbrook and Walnut Grove Schools will be open Saturday from 8 4 p.m. for visiting and touring. The Westbrook Firemen are hosting a waffle feed on Sunday morning opposite of the church meal to handle the non alumni, out of town guests. The Westbrook Area Volunteers (WAV) and the Westbrook Womens club will still conduct their annual events including kid games, bean bag and volleyball tourneys, karaoke, beer garden, and fireworks. Thursday night, the Westbrook Kiwanis will hold their annual Night of Praise service after the hospital appreciation meal to kick off the weekend for both communities.

| Greetings from Westbrook Walnut Grove, Let's try an entry again. A progress report is as follows: 1. We have student volunteers helping to stuff envelopes. We figure we are about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way on stuffing about 4,000 of them. Be looking for the "All School Reunion" on the return address. 2. We have spaces reserved in WG and WB and all summer school employees have been notified that the buildings will be "invaded" over the weekend. 3. WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR A TEAM TO HEAD THIS PROJECT UP! If you or a group of you are interested please get in touch with me. The pay is $0.00 but the rewards are priceless! Thanks Loy Woelber, Superintendent |

| Greetings from Westbrook Walnut Grove, We have created this link to keep you updated on events as we move through the process of planning for next summer's big event! Here is what I do know at this point: 1. The dates for the all school reunion are June 25 - 27. This coincides with the Westbrook Fun Days which, in prior years was the Hospital Days. We chose this date because we have been together as Chargers now for nearly 20 years and that weekend normally brings the most alumni to town. 2. Walnut Grove Loggers will be getting together all day Saturday in Walnut Grove. The school will be open from 8 - 4 p.m. for all classes to tour and get together. There will be a meal in the lunchroom and class pictures are also being planned. 3. The Women's Club in Westbrook will still have the Street Dance on Friday night but we are hoping to have some other entertainment in the Community Center of either community Friday and Saturday night so classes can get together in a "quieter" atmosphere. 4. There will be the kiddie games / olympics in Westbrook as usual Saturday morning as well as the Volleyball and beanbag tourneys. 5. There will be food in Westbrook throughout the day Saturday and we are exploring a meal in the community center in Westbrook for Saturday. 6. We are currently looking to continue the tradition of an ecumenical service in the Westbrook gymnasium Sunday morning followed by a meal catered by the HI LO out of Lakefield for all Loggers / Wildcats and Chargers. 7. We will be sending out our 1st of 2 letters before Thanksgiving. Thanks Loy Woelber, Supt. |
