The Reunion Committee:

     Tom Pollock (The Chair), Judy (Kruger) Gelein, Karen Teel, Carmen (Scheurer) Sherman and the ultimate webmaster and unofficial class mascot Ricky Slama have done a excellent job in planning and finding a fantastic location and making it an affordable evening for all the Class of 1975 classmates!   $65.00 is a great price for a 50 year reunion in 2025!  Dinner, tax, gratuity and a great night out!  There are other costs for the 50th reunion event but we are using the donated money to pay for them to keep the individual cost down.   The menu is posted under the 50 year reunion button.  The button is at the top of the page under "50th Reunion Tickets and Registration."  That's where you'll click to purchase tickets.   We are looking forward to seeing you there.  October 11th 2025 will be here before you know it!  We need a committment from you so BUY YOUR TICKET TODAY, don't hesitate and please don't wait!  Let's get over 100 tickets sold by 6/1/2025!

Do you want to help?

    If you think you would like to help out down the road let us know?  Does anyone have a way to make some sort of backdrop we can use for taking pictures that you can contribute to the evening?  Anything fun and decorative would be cool. Expand your mind and use your creative spirit as your guide, if you have a job work on it and when your boss is gone print it out and bring it.  (Insert smiley emoji here!)

Donate to the reunion

  If you would like to make a donation to the class reunion and website it would be greatly appreciated and help offset some of the fixed costs associated with the reunion  and keeping the website going.  It's fun and easy to do, just click the button to the right.  Donations of all size are welcome, Thank You!

***********************************************************************

This is some old information I'm leaving up.  

How is everyone?  I hope you're doing fine?  In case you don't know I'm Ricky Slama and I've been keeping up the Class of 1975 website for the pass 20 - 25 years(?) for the reunion committee and all the Lancers out there from the Class of '75.  Any questions, comments, suggestions can be sent to me.   

"Pass the word"

     We had around 750 people graduate in our class but the website has only been found by approximately 200 plus people or so,  so there's a lot of people who have never signed up, found us or haven't "updated their information" and/or still haven't learned how to get on the internet.  We need everyone who reads this to pass on the information to their friends and get them to save the date and make the trip back here for the 50th Class reunion in 2025!  We also have a Facebook site: Search "Cordova Class of 1975 on facebook" that Tom Pollock keeps up.    

 

  

   I also update the "In Memory" section of classmates who have passed away, and as you can imagine I receive a posting or message from classmates that someone has passed and I like to get some verification that they are sure the person did pass away.  Last year a classmate sent a message saying someone passed but they didn't signup for the website and I tried emailing them back because I found the person might be alive in Elk Grove? But the email address kept getting kicked back as undelivered so please sign up for the website or include your phone number.  You can go to your name, signup and in the preferences indicate how you want your information made public or not.  

    

  If you just found the website "Welcome my friends to the show that never ends" and congratulations on finally gettting on the internet*.  Sign up and stay informed to upcoming class reunions and classmate updates and connections.  Check out the Cordova Class of 1975 Facebook page for current news and updates also.  Also, if you would like to donate to the website and to the 50th reunion fund that would be great and appreciated.  

 

  If you're new to the website and the internet and wonder why "no one has ever called me and invited me to a reunion," sign up under classmate profiles and keep your email address updated.  It's 2025 we don't know where you live or your phone number now.  Spread the word.
