Early Bird Registration

The $20 early registration is almost over! 

You have until June 1st to get this price, after that the price goes to $25 per person.  If you will notice above there is a "PURCHASE TICKETS" button for your payment convenience. Also you might notice a "DONATIONS" button, if you would like to donate any additional money to the reunion it would be much appreciated.

Don't forget to fill out the questionnaire it will be fun to put all the info together for our reunion.

Registration Has Begun!

Here it is, your chance to officially register for our ten year reunion! We figured the easiest way to do this was to open a PayPal account to send your payments to. If you have never used PayPal before, or are not familiar with how to send a payment, check the instructions below.

Early registration for the reunion ends on June 1st!

- Early registration is $20 per person. On June 1st, it will go up to $25.

- When you send your payment, please let us know your name, and the name of the person that you will be bringing. (If the name of your guest changes, just let us know.)Any questions, let us know. Send them to altaclass2000@gmail.com.

Please do not send your registration money as anything but a gift. Otherwise, it will charge us on the back end, and we will have less money to work with!

Instructions:
To send money for a non-business transaction:
Log in to your PayPal account.
Click the "Send Money" tab.

Enter the recipient's email address, the amount, and the currency.
Click the "Personal" tab.
Click "Continue."

Note: If you are using credit card funds to send a payment, it may charge you an extra fee.

Let us know if you have any questions or problems. As of right now, this is the only way to send your registration payment. We may make more options available, but honestly, this is the easiest way to go.

Notice our tabs above

Only 3 1/2 months left till the big day and as a reunion committee we are busily working on making this a great reunion.  Part of making a great reunion is getting to know a little more about your lives since High School, so we have made a questionnaire for you to fill out even if you are not planning on attending the reunion.

If you would notice right  under the header on this page it says "Questionnaire" click on that and it will take you to the questionnaire we would love for you to fill out.

There is also a "Raffle" tab to fill out if you would like to donate to our raffle.

I hope you are all getting very excited!

RAFFLE

As a planning committee we decided we would do a raffle at our reunion.  We thought that it would not only be fun, but a way to earn money so we can keep the cost low for our future reunions.  


So here is where you come in, if there is a product or a service you or the company you work for would like to donate please email altaclass2000@gmail.com. 


In return we would like to put up links or logos on here to recognize your donation.  


THANKS!

Do me a Favor?

We are trying to gather contact information as we gear up for the reunion.  I need you to email me your email address or home addresses at altaclass2000@gmail.com Also, if you know people who don't look at this blog but have a way to contacct them, we would like to keep them informed as well so include that in your email.  This will be huge in getting as many people as possible to the reunion.  We are still trying to gather info about when, where, and what we are doing for the reunion, but we are planning this and it will happen so get excited!  We will give more details as we are putting it together.  Thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!  Look forward to seeing you soon!

And We're Back!!!

We're gearing up for the 10 year reunion this Summer!  So weird, but moving on.  So here's the deal,  we need your help!  As we are determining dates, locations, etc. we need to know if any of you out there would be willing to help.  Nothing major, but just be on a committee or something to help with some of the work.  Tentative committees may include: food, registration (ie gathering info), program material collection, set-up/take down, and a raffle committee.  Leave a comment if you are interested.
Which brings me to the Raffle.  We want to try to have fellow classmates who have a product, service, or just something cool donate these items to a raffle that will be done that night at the reunion.  You will be able to purchase raffle tickets at the reunion to win (hopefully) some pretty cool stuff.  The proceeds from the raffle will go towards keeping costs for future reunions down.  We will display logos/information for those who choose to donate on the blog and facebook.  We hope that this will be a good way to let others know what you are doing.  Especially in an economy where some may be experiencing a bit of a hard time, we can use this as an opportunity to help someone out that we once roamed the halls with.  Cheesy?  Too bad.
So anyway, do your best to spread the word so that we can have a great turnout.  The more people the less lame!  And we promise this blog will have more updates than just this one this year!!

Happy New Year!!

CATCHING UP!

Abbey Daw

What have you been doing since high school?

Not married, but teaching Group Fitness full time for Life Time Fitness. I teach classes such as spinning, tai chi, pilates, yoga and total conditioning.

I also have been a children’s ski instructor at Alta for 3 seasons and I love every minute spent out on the slopes. As you can see I am very Involved in many athletics. Some people would call me crazy but it has been so awesome. I love to compete in marathons, Tri’s and road cycling races. I have ran 7 marathons including the Boston and the NYC marathons, which was a major highlight for me.

I am currently training for my first Ironman that I will be doing in AZ in 2009. I work as a marketing rep for Blackbottoms Cycle Wear. I have been mainly working which has put a stop to my schooling but I am currently finishing my last two semesters of school at UVU in English Lit. Right now I am working on and hoping to write a novel and publish it someday soon.

What is your current favorite song?
Missy Higgins-Where I stood

Favorite food indulgence?
Sushi, Sushi and Sushi!

Worst habit?

I am a worrier!

Sun or snow?
I am a summer girl at heart, but in the winter I love to ski! The snow is not bad for a little while. I am just not crazy about the length of our Utah winters.

What is one of your guilty pleasures?
OH boy I love frosting, any kind would do for me. I can’t control myself if I make a cake and there is a tub right in front of me. I would eat it before it even was spread on the cake.

Craziest thing you have ever done?
I rode my bike 206 miles in one day from Logan to Jackson Hole. It took almost 13 hours. I am doing it again this year. I am crazy! Oh and that one time when I danced in front of our Alta students at a girls basketball game in spandex and a shirt with a golden retriever on the front. All because Danny Westinskow told me it would be funny! I would never in my wildest dreams think of doing anything like that again…I was a dork! Anyone remember? I hope not!

What makes you laugh?
My brother, dad and little sister make me laugh the most. The Office is brilliant, it is hilarious! I do like watching any movie with Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Tina Fey and Amy Poeller.

Life would be more simple if…
If I didn’t have to worry about dating anymore, not fun! If we could live in the present day instead of worrying about what happened yesterday and what is going to happen tomorrow. If we could all just ride our bikes everywhere and didn’t have to worry about gas prices!

Your greatest accomplishments?
My 7 marathons, Lotoja 2 times, Boston Marathon 2006

What have you been doing since high school?


Well, my current status is; divorced single mum to four kids under the age of 3! Yes you read that correctly, I have been up to quite a bit lately. I am also a Hairdresser/Cosmetologist. I am back home in Canada Eh! I live in Nanaimo British Columbia which is on Vancouver Island. It is definitely the place to live if you enjoy walking to the beach and seeing a pod of Killer Whales swim by. It is also a wonderful destination to those who like rain! A lot of rain, nearly every day!

Oliver and Olivia

Ty and Rylie!

What is your current favorite song?


Well lets just say that songs 1,2,5 and 7 of the Leona Lewis CD have been on repeat for 8 days now.



Favorite food indulgence?
Cherry Cheesecake


If you could have one super power what would it be?

To be able to perform plastic surgery on myself, tummy tucks and lippo!



Worst habit?

None that I particularly want to make public at this time!

Sun or snow?

Sun! The closest thing to sun up here is fog lights!


What is one of your guilty pleasures?

Rings. I love to buy myself really nice rings! The bigger the better.


Craziest thing you have ever done?

Well it is currently an ongoing crazy thing, there is a huge spider in my kitchen that greets my every morning and I cannot bring myself to squish her. Not only have I let the 6 legged spider live I have named her Izzy! I tried to get a picture but she scurried away.


What makes you laugh?

At this precise moment… My daughter Rylie, she is quite the character. Today she randomly told a stranger at the grocery store “my mum is done. She is not having any more kids, four is enough and she has had it up to here! So there will be no more.”



Life would be more simple if…

they supplied single mums with cooks, maids and a full nights sleep.


Your greatest accomplishments?

My children, Ty Daniel, Rylie Dawn Alwyn, Oliver Deklan and Olivia Alysse. I have to say they are the cutest kids ever and they are such wonderful additions to my life.
