This month our class news is preoccupied with the all school reunion that didn't happen. Several of you submitted stories of your experience with being in Wadena when the tornado struck. Some of you were able to connect up with a few classmates in spite of the chaos. For some of us the unexpected disaster brought forth emotions of the Wadena that we remembered, that was so good to us.
Not folks to wallow in the sorrow of loss, classmates have wondered how they can help the cleanup and rebuilding. A call to 211 will provide information including what is needed, where and when.See below for a statement by Carol Taggart, a leader on the committee for the All School Reunion. Carol tells us what became of the reunion tee shirts you may have ordered and how to order a new version and help the community rebuild.
There are two attachments in the original email: 1. Photo of a new tee shirt commemorating the tornado event. You will see the photo on this site. 2. The stories of your classmates as they reflected on the events of June 17 and following.
Here is a link to a professionally created slide show of the tornado and recovery activities.
Have a 'safe and sane Independence Day"! Chuckofthewoods
