VENICE HIGH MYRNA LOY PROJECT INFO
AUGUST 6, 2008
DEAR LUANIANS AND CIMMARONS,
MY NAME IS DONNA (SUTTON) MCGRANE. I AM A FELLOW
ALUMNI FROM VENICE HIGH, GRADUATING IN JUNE 1953, AND
THAT IS THE REASON I AM WRITING TO YOU TODAY.
I WAS READING ABOUT THE MYRNA LOY STATUE PROJECT IN
LAST MONTH'S "ACCLAIM." DID YOU HAPPEN TO SEE IT???
DO YOU GET THE "ACCLAIM??"
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
PROJECT AS A LOYAL GRADUATE. MY HUSBAND, RICHARD, WHO
IS ALSO A GRADUATE (S'47), AND I PLAN TO PURCHASE A
BRICK PAVER THAT THEY ARE OFFERING FOR THE WALKWAY UP
TO THE REFURBISHED STATUE. I PLAN TO GO TO THE UNVEILING IN
JANUARY AND TO BE A PART OF THE EVENT.

THEN, I THOUGHT, I WOULD APPROACH YOU GUYS AND SEE
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS. I GOT
THE LIST OF EMAIL ADDRESSES FROM SHARON. I HAVE
ALREADY CONTACTED 10 OF MY EMAIL BUDDIES FROM VENICE
AND 5 HAVE AGREED TO PARTICIPATE. SO, I HAVE DECIDED
TO GO AHEAD WITH A CANVASS OF THE REST OF THE EMAIL
LIST I GOT AT OUR 55TH CLASS REUNION.

THESE ARE THE PARTICULARS:
STANDARD BRICK PAVER COSTS $500.00. UP TO THREE
LINES OF INSCRIPTION - 15 CHARACTERS/SPACES PER LINE.
THE LARGER PAVER WOULD HAVE THE SAME INSCRIPTION
DETAILS BUT WOULD COST $1,000.
IF WE COULD GET 50 OF OUR CLASSMATES INTERESTED, I
WOULD BE HAPPY TO SPEARHEAD A COLLECTION TO HAVE
OUR CLASS OF WINTER/SUMMER '53 PURCHASE THE SMALL
PAVER AND BE A PART OF THIS EVENT - 100 OF OUR
CLASSMATES WOULD PURCHASE THE LARGER PAVER, WHICH
WOULD PROBABLY BE THE BETTER PURCHASE.
IT COULD BE INSCRIBED WITH THE FOLLOWING (JUST A
SUGGESTION):
CREW MEMBERS
LUANIANS & CIMMARONS
CLASS OF 1953
JUST LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO
PARTICIPATE WITH YOUR $10.00 (OR MORE, IF YOU WISH)
...........DO NOT SEND ANY $$ UNTIL I GET THE RESULTS OF THIS
EMAIL. IF ENOUGH OF YOU AGREE, THEN I WILL ASK YOU TO
SEND ME YOUR $$$$ AND I WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE
ORDERING OF THE PAVER.
THERE IS A NOVEMBER DEADLINE TO ORDER THE PAVER, SO
MY DEADLINE FOR YOU TO GET BACK TO ME - YES OR NO!!!!
- SHOULD BE NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 15TH. IF YOU WISH
TO TALK WITH ME PERSONALLY ABOUT THIS ENDEAVOR, PLEASE
CALL ME AT MY HOME IN SAN DIEGO AT 858-278-2288.
REMEMBER THE NEWSPAPER DRIVES WE HAD WHEN WE WERE
IN SCHOOL??? THEY WERE A LOT OF WORK, BUT A LOT OF
FUN. AND THIS COULD BE, TOO.
SINCERELY, DONNA
