Attached you will find a detailed programme/itinerary plus an application form 
for "Homecoming 2009". Judging from the emails, phone calls and early bookings of accommodation, it's clear that the turnout will be high. For this reason we encourage you to register by May 15. This will help with our planning the amount of food, wine, snacks, etc..Registration after May 15 will be accepted, but some events may be fully booked. Please note that all registrations coming in by April 1 will be eligible for the "early bird" draw for a copy of, Clayton's Kids: Pioneer Families of Hearst Public School.
One of the highlight events of our three-day gathering will be the launch of your book, Clayton's Kids: Pioneer Families of Hearst Public School. We say, "your book", because it has been created by 95 families, each of whom has written their own family histories. The results are breath-taking, a wonderful tribute to our ancestors who first pioneered this cold land.
You'll see by the programme that we are planning two nostalgia rooms; one for the years the school was known as Hearst Public School and one for the years it was Clayton Brown Public. We hope you'll label some of your best mementoes of the school or Hearst and bring them along to share. The rooms will be guarded at all times to ensure the artifacts are returned.
Recently, the Northern Times Weekender published an article on "Homecoming 2009". The following is a short excerpt.
"There's a sense that time is running out. A feeling of uncertainty hovers over Clayton Brown Public School. For most of the school's history progress has been onward and upward. What began as a log cabin, became a larger one-roomed school with a pot-bellied stove, followed by a four-roomed structure and finally additions stretching the whole end of the block. But demographics have not been kind. The population is dwindling and enrollment down to levels not seen for decades.
For generations, CBPS grads left town, opting for opportunities in the south. Yes, those who left have made contributions to communities across the country, but not to the town and school that nurtured them. And even though in their heart of hearts Hearst was always home, their children and their children's children were not around to fill desks at the old alma mater."
"Homecoming 2009" may be our last chance to get together to meet former school chums and to salute our parents and grandparents who founded the churches, schools and institutions that turned Hearst into a vibrant communty.
We look forward to seeing you at "Homecoming 2009".
