Dear Classmates,
Below are a few things you may want to know about.  Randy and I will not be able to attend the parties, but I am sure some of you will go and have a great time. 
I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving.

December Social Gathering for SHS Alumni
Saturday, 12/5 at 6:30 pm
Hosted by Julie Pike Bennett and her husband, Todd Schaffer 

Dear SHS Friends & Classmates --

Please join us for dinner as we celebrate not only the holiday season, but also 30 plus years of fun and friendship! As time goes on, I am more and more grateful for the blessing of having lived in Atlanta my entire life and the long-term relationships that have developed as a result. I meet very few people who enjoy the special bond that we all share, and I can think of no better way to kick off the holiday season than to be with all of you!

Saturday, December 5th

6:30 til ???

at

The Bennett-Schaffer's
Julie Pike Bennett & Todd Schaffer
840 Tempest Way
Kennesaw, GA 30152

RSVP by November 27th
jybe...@gmail.com

Todd and I, together with Angie and a few others, will provide the entrees (roast pork, tri-tip, and flank steak), and will be asking our guests to bring either an appetizer, side dish or dessert. We also ask that you bring your own bottle and a small donation to offset the cost of plates, napkins, soft drinks, etc. Once the RSVP's come in, we'll get back to you with specifics.

This is an ADULT ONLY party. We ask that you make arrangements for childcare in your own home.

Yes, we are completely aware that this is the SEC championship playoff evening. For those of you wanting to see parts of the game, there is a media room for your viewing pleasure and several televisions throughout the house. ***NOTE TO CHIP BRIGHT, no need to bring a TV and satellite dish;).

We are delighted to be able to celebrate the Season with friends and family in our home and hope you are all able to join us for this fun event!


Dan Manning and The Wheels
The Cave in Kennesaw
Friday, 12/11 at 9:00 pm

Hey everyone,

our 1976 classmate, Dan Manning, and The Wheels will be performing LIVE at The Cave in Kennesaw on Friday night, December 11. The show starts at 9:30 p.m. with reserved seating available for SHS classmates.

The Cave is located near the Publix Shopping Center at the intersection of Old 41 and Barrett Parkway. These venues share the same parking lot.

NO COVER
Non-smoking facility
Extensive (and impressive) wine menu
Great food
Always accommodating

This will be my last event to attend in Marietta before I relocate back to Scottsdale, AZ on 12/20. Please stop in to say goodbye. I have enjoyed my time here over the past five months partying with you all and hope you enjoyed the monthly activities that were planned. 

Just because I am not going to be in the area doesn't mean that I or any other classmate will not be coordinating activities for you all to enjoy and participate in. We have a healthy momentum going for our monthly dinner gatherings so let's continue. 

My 76 classmate, Cindy Patterson Cole, will be the local coordinator once I leave. She will be collaborating with 77 classmate, Joy Cardell Carlisle, to insure that the monthly dinner gatherings continue. You need to provide them with your support! 

78 classmates, Kelley Blevins Winslett and Tami Little Smith, will be the cheerleaders for their respective classmates so watch out for their words of encouragement to attend these fun evenings/gatherings.

Thanks for making the past five months a wonderful experience for us all. I hope you will join us at The Cave on Friday, December 11 to see Dan and The Wheels perform.

For those of you not participating on facebook, please consider doing so as many of us have left classmates.com and joined fb.  What a great utility to stay connected!  Plus, it does not cost anything to join.

Hope life is treating you all well.

Warmest regards,

Angie Dempsey
