A Message from Carol Taggart
Hi to all of you Class Reps: I (personally) am asking you to forward the following information to all class mates on your email list as I bought a shirt and have had so many nice comments on it. Of course, I was in the Commons at the time the tornado hit so it maybe means more to me than to others of you, but so many have asked me where I got it as they would like one. He is selling this t shirt for $14.95, of which he is donating $5.00 per shirt to the Wadena Relief fund. For shirts that need to be mailed, there will be an additional $5.00 charge. Ron did not ask me to promote these shirts - I asked him if it was ok if I sent this information out.
I am really proud of our community--And the volunteers who have come in to help. I am not going to name any one in particular or any of the organizations or law enforcement units or Fire Departments from other towns - because there are simply too many - I could never get them all. Every day, I learn of more friends who had major damage to their homes, lost buildings, fences, etc. There are many videos and pictures on the various newspaper web sites as well as Face book and Utube.
Thanks go out to all of you who came for the reunion, to those of you who volunteered to help - both at registration and within the community. We understand that several classes were still able to get together - We are so thankful for that. We are hoping that someone will step forward to help organize another All School reunion in 5 years. We will be there to help --
Greiman's has another T-shirt available - same price with same donation to the Relief fun. This one is grey with a black sketch of a tornado, a house and a saying on it. I do not have the exact wording, but something to the effect that "I survived the Wadena Tornado of 2010" Remember, that is not the exact words he used.
The t shirts that were printed and at the school have not been recovered yet -Greiman's will reprint those and send them out if they cannot get them back.
Our prayers go out to all of you who suffered loss's from this ?????d - uh, I don't know what to call it. We are all so thankful that no lives were lost - When you see the damages, this was a miracle.
Carol J. Taggart
