That's right, take plenty of notes from the Bethel Class of 1997 ... this is how you really throw a party!!!! Thank you to our committee ... Melissa, Justin, Natalie, Corey, Mike, Rebecca, and Jason for all of your hard work and dedication to this year long project. Melissa, thank you so very much for keeping us on budget, and working to the point of exhaustion in the week or two leading up to our reunion. Justin, you have been the best go to man ever. Any time a call was placed to you, you always were there and ready to go. Natalie, thank you so very much for your dedication to this project. Corey, you definitely think outside of the box. Your unique ideas really set this reunion apart from the norm. Mike, thank you for putting up with so much more of this reunion on a daily basis. You have had to listen to every unfolding detail of the past year. Always there when we needed you, painting posters, washing cars, and keeping everyone motivated. Jason, thank you for all of your photo contributions. Seriously, he has the most extensive photo collection from our high school days. A special thank you to Roger Winston who is forever a committee member in his own right. Through the course of this past year he has shown school love and spirit unconditionally. Roger and his family went out of their way to accomodate our class by catering and providing the private accomodations at their restaurant Queens Way Soul Food Cafe. Thank you so very much to Vikki a.k.a Vikkilicious and John a.k.a Vikki's husband (our honorary Bruin) for helping out so much with our reunion weekend. They completely sacrificed any relaxation that they would have gotten on this vacation to sweat it out with the committee and make our weekend what it was. A few of us, selfishly, were happy to get some quality time in with them though :) Thank you to our great DJ's ... DJ Cec a.k.a Jason Cecil and DJ Illogic a.k.a Sean Louder for providing us with great music to pop, drop, and lock it to!!! Thank you to all of the people who popped up just to help out in any way. Arnina, Denise, Mia, Cec and so many more came through on several occassions to lend a hand. A special thank you to Airik. He is a gifted musical historian who was always there to provide insight to all of the great music of our high school days.
Thank you to Captain George's of Williamsburg, Bad Bob of 'Bad Bob's BBQ, and Queens Way Soul Food Cafe for all of the great food. Thank you to Sandy Bottom Nature Park, and the Virginia Air and Space Center for providing such excellent venues for us.
It was a great experience to see something we all cared about so much turn out so well. Thank you to our class for keeping it real, and taking the party all the way back to 1997.
Please keep checking in with our page. We have received hundreds and hundreds of photos fron our 10 year class reunion. Because there are so many we will create different slide shows and swap them out from time to time.-R
