Time to Begin Planning the 45th Reunion

2011 marks the 45th anniversary of the founding of Sing-Out South.

So it's time to start organizing a Reunion for sometime next year.


And what better place to start than to hold our organizing meeting at Shoney's!

After all, that was the place we often hung out after practices and shows. And while the famous Big Boy (above) is no longer the mascot symbol for the restaurant chain (it's now Shoney Bear), many of the Shoney's still have a semi-private backroom area where a small group can get together and do some planning (and eating, if you are hungry).

And so this Saturday night, December 4 at 5:00 p.m., a few of us will be gathering at the Shoney's in Bellevue, which is located at 7745 Highway 70S. There we will begin to put our ideas and calendars together to see what kind of Reunion we can organize for 2011.

If you are a former SOS or UWP alum in this area, please join us if you'd like. Or if you have thoughts and ideas to suggest send them along to me here on this site or by e-mail (pat.nolan@dvl.com).

More precise directions to the Bellevue Shoney's are:

Go I-40 West towards Memphis

Take Exit 196 (Bellevue/Newsom Station)

At the end of the exit ramp, turn right onto US Highway 70s.

The Shoney is almost immediately on the left, less than .1 of a mile from the I-40 exit.
