After reading Debra's comment on her 40th reunion, I dug out my name tag for mine.

I organized the reunion back in 2004. We had 395 in the graduating class. I photocopied all the names, glued them on a piec

Thank you Sarah, I did enjoy organizing it, but was alot of work. I wanted to make it special for all that came,so doing the embroidery was what I thought of.

on a piece of red felt then embroidered the names of all 395. I then put them on 2 4x8 sheets of heavy cardboard. sorry I don't have a picture. I then embroidered our school crest, added the names and put their picture on the bottom. I made over 70 of these for those that came to the reunion. My 50th is coming up in 2014, where have the years gone. The picture is my name tag. Just thought you would like to see it, in case anyone is organizing their reunion. Everyone was thrilled with what I did. I was glad to be able to make the event memorable for everyone. The second picture is the one I made for those that I knew had passed away. This was done on red and black felt, which was our school colours.
Hugs Jerri
