[MiramonteTalk] 55 year reunion

[Harold Hallikainen]

Matt,

Thanks for checking these things out. As I recall, OCC was about $2k last
time. There is still $2,037.04 in the reunion account at my credit union,
so there is money for upfront rental payment that is ideally recovered
from admission (so we have money for the next reunion).

Thanks to all for their continued work on this!
