Please note that we are making plans to use proceeds from the weekend to help the school. We have had discussions with administrators there about a donation earmarked for music, technology, books or anything that they need help with. Also, we have had talks with the school about starting a scholarship program to assist a worthy student with college. I will release more information on this as it becomes available.

Rooms will be available again this year at The Staybridge Suites, adjacent to the Convention Center. The Staybridge staff was extremely helpful and hospitable last year. We are glad to have them working with us again in 2009. They have agreed to keep the rates the same as last year, $109/night for Studios and $129/night for Suites. Call 423-267-0900 or 800-238-8000 to reserve rooms. Refer to City High School Reunion for our block of rooms. As of 6/30/09, there were 27 Suites and 7 Studios still available.
Our mission this year is to reach as many people as possible from CHS '64 - '74 so they can have an opportunity to enjoy a remarkable event. That mission can only be accomplished with a great team of volunteers. Already, we have a fantastic group of people who have stepped up to "captain" the effort to reach members of their class from CHS. Their names are listed below. These captains have formed committees to assist them in an all out effort to contact everyone possible to inform them of this upcoming event. If you would like to volunteer, please contact one of these captains. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Feel free to email me at montyj1998@yahoo.com.
