Mike Belcher, Patsy Lowery Turley

planning for the 55th reunion is already underwAY, WITH SEVERAL COMMITTEE MEETINGS UNDER OUR BELT.

Classmates: who can really believe it’s been 55 years since we graduated from Tulsa Central?? Time to reconnect and celebrate! A reunion is being planned for September 23, but we need donations to help make this an affordable and enjoyable event. Thanks to the more than generous donations from many classmates, we were able to have a truly amazing event for our 50th reunion.

Please consider making a donation...$50 will make a difference, more would be fantastic, or less if $50 stretches your budget. Every donation will be greatly appreciated, and will help defray the cost to attend the reunion.

Please make checks payable to The Tulsa Central High School Foundation Class of 1968 Reunion Account # 3, and mail to, 110 W. 7th St., Ste. 900, Tulsa, OK 74119. This is a Tax Deductible donation.

Further details about this 2023 event will be coming your way soon.
If you are interested in attending, please reply by clicking the CONTACT link in the SITE NAVIGATION GUIDE and provide your contact information so that we can keep you updated.
Hope to see you in September!

I want to say a BIG thank you to Michael Belcher and his lovely wife, Beth for hosting our Tulsa Central Class of 68 reunion planning meeting. We spent the day in paradise, and had some fabulous food, got to pet the horses and the 5 big affectionate dogs, and even managed to get a few things accomplished. We set the date for September 23, so SAVE THE DATE!

We have narrowed it down to the choice between Osage Casino and 17West Hotel downtown (was formerly the Doubletree). I still need to check out the hotel since it has been completely refurbished and I’m not familiar with the space available for us. Osage Casino has provided a proposal which includes a block of 10 rooms for $134 each, a banquet room for 100 for $600, but room rental is waived if we meet/exceed $2000 in catering. The banquet space includes tables and chairs, linens, room set up and teardown, wifi, centerpieces.

We have received an information packet from 17West Hotel, but it does not include pricing. I will email our contact to provide a proposal and set up a tour of the facilities.

I sent out a SAVE THE DATE email to all of the email address I had from the 50th and so far I have only received 19 rejects out of 211 email address. Of course, sometimes the rejects take days to show up, but I was surprised how many went through. Also, the fact they were not reject doesn’t guarantee they were received.

We have set our next planning meeting for Monday, May 8 at 2:00 at the Vault. We have a lot of work to do and I hope to see lots of classmates there!

Thanks to all who have worked so hard to get us to this point, and a special thanks for Mark for checking with about a dozen venues and gathering information for me!

Even if you are unable to attend the meetings, we would love to have any feedback or input for making this reunion a success.

Thanks!
