Joint class reunion to be held in Malvern
MALVERN — Planning for the fourth bi-annual multiclass reunion for Donaldson, Friendship and Ouachita High School, classes of 1951-81, is underway. It will be held from
1-5 p.m. Oct. 7 at the Malvern Senior Adult Center, 1800 W. Moline St., in Malvern.
The reunion is open to everyone involved during this time frame. The reunion is free; however, donations will be accepted. Organizers are planning this reunion in advance so that they can get the word out, especially for those who live out of state or out of country.
Local participants are asked to bring light snacks to share. Coffee, tea, water and ice will be provided. Organizers are depending on word-of-mouth to get the information out to all concerned. They are attempting to get a volunteer from each class to make personal contact with as many former students from their class as possible. If anyone would like to be the point of contact for their class, they are encouraged to contact one of the event coordinators: Venette Furr Burnett at 501384-5550; Allen Bollen at 501844-1888; Bettye Fowler Kerns at 501-663-0912; or Mary Ann Harper at 501-467-5039.
