We received this message from Rod Yancey:
I have some bad news about Nancy Rodgers-Smith. She's not doing very well and is in the hospital in Canton Ga. with cancer. Would you post this so people can keep her in their prayers.
Keep Nancy in your thoughts and prayers today and in the coming weeks.

It’s Time to WHERE It
We’re trying to finalize the basic plans this week so you can begin making arrangements with babysitters and airlines. We're shooting for Saturday evening, June 27 — the height of wedding season. Nearly every venue is booked every Saturday this summer (including the Smyrna Activity Center), but our team of crack party planners uncovered a couple great options.
Our party-planning parameters:
We tried to find a place that would let Rodney’s barbecue joint cater the bash, but the available venues require that we use their food service. Maybe we can pick up boxed meals a block away and sneak ‘em in!
Review these two and let us know in the next couple days which you prefer (note the new poll, above the Are You Party-bound? poll. We’d like to book something no later than Tuesday, so cast your vote today.
Venue 1: Courtyard by Marriott (Vinings)
The hotel is on Paces Ferry Road, near the Vinings railroad crossing. Convenient to those of you still in the Smyrna area and those who will travel via I-285.
Venue 2: Five Seasons Brewing (Sandy Springs)
If you haven’t been to Five Seasons, it’s a good gastropub at the conveniently located Prado (I-285 and Roswell Road). Excellent beer selection and food menu. The private Cellar can hold 75 to 100 people; if more of y’all commit, we can also use the outdoor Biergarten. There’s a menu from which we can select all types of munchies, from appetizers to pizzas to entrees. No matter your taste in beer, they’ll have it … or something better.
UPDATE: A couple folks have had problems casting their votes. If you get an error message, e-mail us or post your vote in the comments section.

- Ballroom: If we have fewer than 100 coming, we’ll have the ballroom; if more than 100 RSVP and pay, we’ll also get the fireside lounge and the restaurant.
- Food: prime rib station, salad station, pasta station, dessert station
- Cash bar
- Guest rooms: A block of rooms will be reserved for those coming from elsewhere or those who don’t want to worry about driving home.

February’s First Fiftieth
Pull out your blowers and put on your party hats for February’s first fiftieth birthday: MIKE EASON! Mike started with our class, but graduated a year early. (Seriously, you were that eager to begin adulthood?) He’s in South Carolina these days, but those of us on Facebook are chatting away with the birthday boy. Y’all be sure to wish Mike a HAPPY BIRTHDAY, here in the comments box or on Facebook.
[Ed. Note: Mike, we’re sorry we don’t have your senior picture. The party planning staff has a limited annuals library: just our freshman and senior books.]
p.s. Don't forget to send us your birthday if you want to be included on the navbar. E-mail us or leave your birthday in the comment box.
p.p.s. We’ve crossed out some of the missing from the list — but many classmates are still missing. Let us know if you’re in contact with one of these classmates.

Let's Get This Party Started!
We’re trying to nail down details this week. First, though, we need a rough head count to help us select the venue and put together our budget.
So …
On the navbar is a new poll. Not coming? Click 0. Plan to come alone? Click 1. If you’re bringing a date or spouse (sorry, but we can’t allow both), click 2.
This is a rough count, not an RSVP, so you won’t be held to your click. In fact, we can’t trace who clicks what. But the results will help us determine the size room we need.
BTW, the party date you selected on the last poll was June 27. Most places are booked for weddings that weekend, but we have some ideas up our planning sleeves. We hope to confirm that date and the place next week.
And …
We have a healthy e-mail list at the moment, about a third of our class. Many of you, however, haven’t sent us an e-mail, so we’re not sure if all of you are getting these messages. If you haven’t replied, could you e-mail us to let us know you’re getting the e-mails and you’re interested?
BTW ...
We pulled the announcement from Classmates.com since we haven't been able to confirm June 27 as the party date. We're still planning to throw this bash, even if we have to reschedule it. We'll let you know as soon as possible if we have to change the date.
Finally …
Let us know if you have information on anyone listed as missing.
