Melvindale Class of 1961

I plan all types of parties and one of my favorite events is planning high school reunions. Everyone is there to have a good time and it is so much fun to watch and hear people connecting after long periods of time - especially when they say "you haven't changed since high school!" or "I would recognize you anywhere" WELL
A great time was had by all who showed up at Melvindales 50th High School reunion at the Embassy Suites Hotel Livonia on Saturday January 22, 2011. The drinks were flowing the food was fabulous and Judy Carli, Richs wife did a great job on the place card board, the name tags and the programs.

There were about 80 ish graduates in 1961 of which 25 showed up at the reunion. Very interesting where everybody came from and their career choices. Most of the woman went into teaching.

The band, The Brothers Righteous did a fabulous job of bringing back the oldies but goodies. Everyone there loved them. There was singing, dancing and fond memories for all. Thank you again Jerry Olson from The Brothers Righteous.

Jerry sang to Judy and everyone as he walked around and had fun with the graduates. A great singer, entertainer and MC.

To the right, in the blue stripes was head cheer leader Mary Archibald.

A great time was had by all...Great Friends.......Great Food.......Great Band.......Great Pictures.....Great Memories....until next time...good health and happiness to you and your families.
Live...Love...Laugh

Andrea,
A quick note to thank you for your invaluable help and guidance Saturday. It made my concerns to a minimum as we really could just enjoy and cherish every moment. I am so very glad we changed the order of the walking down the aisle. I loved being able to see it all! I'm so glad Marilyn Fealk and my sister-in-law Sharon told me about you. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Sheri Biederman

Andrea,
What do you say to the woman who kept you sane at the craziest time in your life, helped make dreams a reality and made your scattered ideas into a beautiful vision? You were my life saver, my counselor and my friend. If it weren't for you, I might have eloped! Thank you so much for your tremendous help. You did so much more than I ever expected. You are my hero.
Thanks!

ISES goes to PLANTERRA

The entrance into Planterra

Our December ISES - International Special Events Society - meeting was held at Planterra. Located on Drake Road just north of 14 Mile, it is a fabulous venue that now is open for parties. Planterra is known for renting its trees and plants, but did you know you can purchase (or rent) anything in the store. Their prices range from a few dollars on up. They also are open 7 days a week, are a full florist for weddings and parties and now you can rent the venue for weddings, showers, corporate events, birthday parties etc. A beautiful venue.

At the registration desk, guests were greeted by Rolly Mansfield, our president and Debbie Heuchert from Champagne Chocolates in Mt. Clemens our finance chairperson.

Some of our new members include Thibalt & Moore Catering (above) outstanding food catering from 2 to thousands all over the Metro Detroit Area.

We want to also welcome Brides.com, Tattoos by An Affair to Remember, The Fillmore-Live Nation, Special Events Rental, Focus Hope and Planterra. The wall behind the bar is a "living" wall. Hand planted by the owner. Everything in Planterra is on wheels and can be moved anywhere in their venue for your event!

We also want to welcome Karen from Kroger's on Maple and Lahser. Who knew that Kroger's carries such a fine list of wines. Karen, who is a Sommelier, by the way, says they have many different wines from around the world at various prices. Worth going to Kroger for.

Finished renovating in October, the structure was brought in from Belgium. High ceilings, beautiful tile floors and an award winning in-house floral design team. What more does one need?

Plenty of room for guests and dancing.

I bought this yellow pepper plant. They have a lot of herbs and Planterra is offering an herb class in January or February (I forgot) but you can call them at 248-661-1515 and they will answer all your questions.

IF you are interested in joining ISES, please give me a call 248-626-3421. Come and be my guest at our next meeting, January 26, 2011 at Greektown Casino...hope to see you there.

The Treisman's 10 - 10 - 10 Party on October 23rd

Each year the Treismans have a party. Each year their party has a theme. This year was no exception.....a murder mystery where people were dying to attend was planned. Everyone was dressed as a 1920's character. Great food, great company and thank you to the Murder Mystery Company who kept everyone on their toes during the evening.

Everyone had great costumes on (they were ready for Halloween the week later!)

The kids really got into this year also. There was a lot of changing of hats, gloves and bowa's.

"Dixon", from the Murder Mystery Company, stayed in character throughout the evening. So did the other two people who joined him.

We had a good turn out from Michigan for the party.

Everyone took home a souvenir picture, as they do every year. Some say their best pictures are taken at the Treisman parties. Ruth wants to thank her sister Andrea, the party planner for helping her set up the evening which included very cute invitations, dinner and set up. A good time was had by all ......and we already have plans for the 11 -11 - 11 party. See you all next year.
