All Class Reunion a year away |
August 2, 2012 |
While work has been underway since students of
Boundary County's schools last swarmed into
Bonners Ferry in August, 2009, the word is just
now going out; the next Bonners Ferry All-Class
Reunion is set to descend again, with the main
events taking place Saturday, August 3, 2013. Every five years, Boundary County and Bonners Ferry roll out the red carpet to people from around the world who ever stepped into a school classroom in Bonners Ferry, and the event gets better every time it's laid on, drawing young and old alike with the fact that they attended school here in common. In 2009, nearly 1,000 descended for a variety of events, from official class photos to a massive dinner to a street dance and more. Alumni from the early 1900s met students still in school, friends connected and reminisced about the "good old days," new acquaintances were made and old friendships reforged. While details are yet being worked out, this year's organizers are encouraging everyone who plans to attend to not only mark the date on their calendars, but to get in touch with friends and classmates to make sure they make plans as well. As planning solidifies and news becomes available, newsbf will be publishing word of it, along with lists of Bonners Ferry High School alumnae whose addresses class organizers are looking for. You don't have to be a BFHS grad, though ... in fact, you don't even have to have been a student; teachers, principals, janitors, cooks and bus drivers are welcome as well. While no official point of contact has yet been named, anyone seeking to learn more about the 2013 Boundary County All-Class Reunion can email publisher@newsbf.com until further notice; if publisher Mike Weland doesn't know the answer, he'll know how to get it to the person who does. We'd also like to know if you're planning to attend so we can share that news with others you went to school with; if you're coming, please email your name, the school (or school) you attended and the years, we'll list the information a special section of this site for friends around the world. Like everyone in Boundary County, we're looking forward to seeing you one year from today, if not sooner! |
