MOSES LAKE — The Moses Lake High School Class of 1995 will hold its 30-year class reunion the weekend of April 25-27, according to an announcement from the reunion committee.
“We’ve got games and trophies,” said committee member Heather Wisdom. “We’re doing a lot every day for a whole weekend, because who wants to come up (to Moses Lake) just for a quick get-together?”
The reunion starts on Friday, according to the announcement, with a meetup at Ten Pin Tap House. Saturday morning there will be a golf tournament. The entry fee is $100, which includes breakfast, and the winner takes the pot.
For the non-golfers, there’s a picnic in the park all day Saturday with games, a barbecue and a dessert bake-off.
“(It’s) pretty old-school,” Wisdom said. “Sack races and egg races, a ring toss and a three-legged race. We’ve got trophies for the winners. We’re trying to do kids versus adults, so I hope everybody brings kids.”
The alumni will finish up Saturday with an informal gathering for pizza, fun and laughter, the announcement said. Sunday they’ll gather for breakfast before everyone heads home.
The full schedule is a departure from the Class of 1995’s 20-year reunion, Wisdom said.
“All we did is have a get-together (at a restaurant),” she said. “(Everybody said) no, we have to have a real reunion.”
The golf tournament and the dessert bake-off both require pre-registration, according to the announcement. Entrants should contact Wisdom at [email protected].
Schedule
April 25: Meet at Ten Pin Tap House, 6 p.m.
April 26: Golf tournament tee-off 8 a.m. at Sage Hills Golf Course. Picnic at Blue Heron Park 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Gather at Chico’s Pizza Parlor 5 p.m.-closing.

Valentine’s Day cards flood Brookdale Hearthstone with love
MOSES LAKE — Residents at Brookdale Hearthstone Assisted Living in Moses Lake got Valentine’s Day greetings from across the country last month. “I believe that the only states we have not received (cards from) yet are Vermont and Maine,” Lifestyle Director Imelda Broyles said Feb. 24. “We keep receiving new cards every single day. They have not stopped. My residents are in awe with every single one of the cards that we’ve been receiving.” The Hearts Across America project started as a way for children in school classrooms to exchange Valentine’s Day cards with classes in other states or even countries, but the idea has expanded to senior living facilities, according to the project’s social media.
