KHSAA Summer Social
July 15, 2017

What began eighteen or so years back as a casual "bring your own picnic" at
Anson Nixon Park has evolved into a casual buffet catered dinner.
Our event was
held at Jenner's Pond Retirement Community on the above date -- the same weekend and location as for a number of recent years.
Seventy two members and guests attended. I'm labeling it "Entertaining Dinner
Social and Reunion" because it was truly all of these.
Our
"Entertainment" was provided by the Dixie Demons -- a talented group of six
professional musicians all of whom are KHS graduates. They provided us
with an hour of pleasure.
Our "dinner" was the same buffet menu provided that night to Jenner's Pond
residents at other dining areas on the JP campus.
"Social" is obvious. Asking questions and providing answers and table
talk was constant.
"Reunion" is a new concept -- tried for the first time this year. The KHS
class of 1952 was invited to use our already-scheduled event for their 65th year
reunion. They were able to enjoy the same amenities as well as a reserved
area for the class of '52 attendees. The Class of '52, eighty three strong
at graduation, was reduced to thirty two remaining at July 15, 2017.
Considering the many reasons for inability to attend, nineteen class members did
make our event.
Consider having your class reunion in conjunction with the KHSAA Social for a
following year.
