RIDGEVIEW REUNION 2026
Dearest Ridgeview Alumni and Friends:
Greetings to you all, as I hope this letter finds you all in the best of health, love and understanding. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers during this time.
β
As you can see this is our web page ridgeviewstrong.com, this is how we will be communicating. Also, I have put the committee names and email addresses for all members for you to contact. There are pictures from the 2022 reunion as well as the 2024 reunion.
β
Here are some things that took place in our last business meeting that was voted on 09/02/2024. The reunion will no longer be 5 days, it was stated that 5 days was too long, so we are going back to 3 days, starting on Friday with the meet and greet / fish fry. Saturday morning will be at the center as we are bringing back the talent show and having activities for the children, and the banquet dance that evening. Sunday we will continue our Memorial Day ceremony and dinner. The Ridgeview School Reunion for 2026 will be on September 4, 5, and 6. The committee and I are working hard to pull everything together and to make it the best reunion ever.
β
Also, during our business meeting, new officers were voted in, Anetia Ramseur Wright is now our Treasurer, and Anita James is our Secretary and Brenda Ramseur is our Assistant Secretary.
β
We also voted to give our scholarships every year instead of every other year. Please remember that the $20.00 membership fee goes into the scholarship fund and we need to pay that for our students. We will only give 2 scholarships every year.
β
It has been brought to our attention that people are saying that $150.00 is too much plus the $20.00 membership fee, please understand that this has been the first time an increase in 25 years. Prices are going up, because of the cost of food, etc. We had no other choice but to increase the price of the reunion and remember it does not need to be paid all at once, if it is paid by the deadline of August 21, 2026.
β
We are excited that the class of 1976 will host the reunion on Saturday night and if there is a class that would like to sponsor the Memorial Service on Sunday just let us know.
β
We will continue to keep you informed concerning the reunion, and please feel free to contact the members of the committee as their e-mail is listed. This is your reunion, we need to hear from you.
