The "names" are suggestions that the task force came up with on the spot and are most open to changes.
Change the menu from pizza to chili, cornbread, and cobbler. (Much less expensive than pizza, easy to fix, and fits the theme.) Free will offering. We hope to get Marion Henderson’s family to do their famous chili and pay their food expenses.
Decorations will be based on red and white checked (roll) tablecloths which can be wiped off and left in place for the Saturday morning breakfast.
Dinner and cost yet to be decided by Lillie Johnson and Barbara Knowlton.
Lillie has
decorations planned around the gold tablecloths.
Each pastor (or surviving spouse) will be asked to give a five-minute maximum
presentation on memories of their time at Wesley. (With nine pastors,
including Rev. Oglesby, that adds up to 40 minutes right there.)
The talk representing Rev. Oglesby would be the skit prepared by the children
under Anne Scott. (There is a scrapbook that gives a wonderful narrative
of Rev. Oglesby and could be the basis of the skit.)
Each one will be introduced by a musical interlude that is reminiscent of
that decade. These might be quite short, be a group presentation
or parody, or be an audience participation item. Scott and Margaret
Grant are working on possibilities.
The invitations might have the butterfly design on it. Since it costs
considerably more to print in color, one alternative might be to have the
older children and
adults hand color the butterflies.
