When we first started planning for our 40 year reunion, one of the things that was done was to create a bank account for collecting donations and paying for necessities. Since the reunion, the account has been used for donations that go toward keeping the Website up and running.
The bank where we have our Class account began charging a fee last year if there was no activity. To avoid the charge, I have been trying to go by and withdraw $5 and then deposit it right back.
The bank has now decided to charge a monthly fee for an account not having a minimum balance of $2500, plus $3 a month for the statement. With these changes, I intend to close out the account, which has a balance of $258.
I will keep this money in a secure location, and have it available for the next reunion, or whatever the Class decides to use it for. The Web site is paid up for 3 years, so we wont need the money for that, at this time.

Posted to LCM FB page on 8/31
Greetings from the Lutcher Stark Class of 1972. As it turns out, we are sponsoring a 40th Reunion, (including 71-73) the same weekend as the 70-75 LCM Reunion this October. One of our events is having lunch on “The Drag.” Most of us remember the fun times we had circling MacArthur drive on Friday and Saturday nights, parking at various places to watch the races, and just a place to hang out with friends. The idea is to go get a lunch from your favorite place (Sorry, Burger King, Ames, Zacks are gone) and meet at the old Sears parking lot to eat, and once again hang out with friends. We would like to extend an invitation to our fellow 70’s classes from LCM, to join us. There is not a scheduled time, but I suspect we would start gathering around 11:30 or so, and stay as long as people are there. Sonic is still there (with a drive thru now!), Subway, Papa Johns Pizza, Whataburger, Dairy Queen, and of course Der Weinerschitzel. So grab a lunch and come join the party !
