Wine tasting should be connection with every one not just Alumni member. Envelopes for all class reunions in 2014 should have wine tasting information sent. All agreed.

Julie will send out sponsorship forms in January. Sponsors donation will receive one free ticket with a $75.00 donation while a $100.00 donation will receive 2 tickets. Tickets otherwise will cost $40.00 for two tickets and $25.00 for one ticket.

Can we bring in local foods for Wine Tasting like the Candy Bar store and 40 Buzzards Farm? School buildings could each sponsor a basket. Music to listen to by local artists and student art work could be shown.

Connections Weekend: Thanks to Schilling Graphics for trophies.

There was a problem brought up about Connections weekend & Oktoberfest on the same weekend every year causing Alumni staffing problems of both.

Maybe nominees for Connections weekend should stay at 5-6 people yearly.
