It's nearly October, and in Blooming Grove, that means...

The Blooming Grove Ex-Students Association will be having activities on October 15, 2011.

• 9:30 am to 11:30 am: The Blooming Grove City Council will host a meet and greet, complete with coffee and cookies. Take advantage to catch up and reminisce. 
• 11:30 am to 1:00 pm: A barbeque lunch will be offered from at the Blooming Grove High School Cafeteria, hosted by the Blooming Grove Masonic Lodge. 
• Also from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm: Registration will take place 
• 1:30 to 3:00 pm: The program and business meeting will take place in the Blooming Grove High School Auditorium. During the program, the classes of 1951, 1961, 1971 and 1986 will be recognized and honored. It is hoped that each honored class will have one person give a brief two or three minute presentation to share their memories. Class members are encouraged to contact other class members and we hope for 100% attendance.
