Once again we're doing everything we can to make it easy for you to see and do all the things you've come to see and do. We hope you'll find the schedule convenient and easy. If you have a suggestion that could help us improve Reunion 2002, we would be grateful if you'd drop it in the suggestion box at the front desk. After all---this is your show! Without you, there would be no reunions to plan for. We listen and do our best for you! |

| FRANKOMA TOUR AND SHOPPING | ||||||||||||||||||
| At Frankoma Pottery Showroom, 2400 Frankoma Road | ||||||||||||||||||
Friday morning begins bright and early at Frankoma Industries. We start off with a free Continental Breakfast hosted by Frankoma for all Reunion 2001 goers beginning at 7 a.m. The Frankoma showroom opens at 7:30 a.m. and tours of the Frankoma factory will be given from 8:00-10:00 a.m. A hearty thanks goes to Kandy Steeples, Gene Gosvener, Mary King and Darlene Baldridge for their hospitality. Be sure to be at the Freddie's Pavilion and in your seats by 10:00 a.m. for the annual membership meeting! The meeting should not last more than an hour. |
||||||||||||||||||
| THE FRANK HOME & METHODIST CHURCH TOURS | ||||||||||||||||||
| At Methodist Church, 1401 E. Taft Members Only! | ||||||||||||||||||
Tours - for members only - will be from 1:00-4:00 p.m. on Friday only, beginning at the church (1401 E. Taft), where there's a large parking area to leave your car. You'll go in and see the church first, and the ceramic cross that John Frank made and donated when the church was built. Then jitney buses or vans will be waiting to shuttle you from the church to the Frank home and back to the parking lot at your convenience (allow at least 1-1/2 hours for church and home). PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR TO THE HOME AND PARK ON THE STREET. It's too narrow to be safe, and we would like to avoid congestion problems. Just park at the church and take the shuttle we've provided. Also, it's a dangerous crossing from the church to Luker Lane, with which our drivers are familiar, and only in this way can we assure your safety. (If handicapped, please indicate so on the registration form, and Donna will arrange special parking for you near the house.) Members will be on their own to drive to the mausoleum at Green Hill Mortuary to see the ceramic miniatures created by Joniece for the marble facades, and also the stained glass window donated by the Frankoma employees "In Honor of the Boss Man." The mausoleum will be open for your viewing only on Saturday afternoon from 12:00-4:00. The map will get you there. (Allow 30-40 minutes from leave-to-return.) In your registration packet, you'll receive a Guide to the Frank Home, which you'll want to read before Friday's tour. In this way, you can be your own guide and wander in and through and around the house at your leisure. This has proved to be the most enjoyable way to see the house, according to our guests of past reunions. We want you to feel welcome, and this will allow you plenty of time to spend in whatever areas you're attracted to, without having to "follow the crowd." Please make yourselves at home! |

He’ll also be introducing his new Frankoma Library Reference CD, featuring photos, dates and values. What a find for us computerphyles! "POTTERY MAKING" -- Saturday Only

| THE FFCA COMMEMORATIVE 2001 | ||||||||||||||||||
|
The Commemorative 2001, as always, is designed by our Joniece Frank especially for FFCA.
She continues to meet the challenge with an exciting and unique
piece we can be proud of! This year, as last, Frankoma Industries
will cast the items, and FRANK X 2 (Joniece and Donna) will
glaze and fire them in a variety of their own colors—Bronze
Green (PG), Very Black, Old Ivory and Terra Turquoise. The price
will be $40 each, or 4 for $135 in your choice of colors.
We'll give you a hint—it's another Wall Pocket,
designed to be a great companion piece to last year’s “Pot
& Teepee.” The banquet tables will have unique centerpieces in keeping with our “Cowboys and Indians” theme. There will be only 30 of these centerpieces produced. They will be marked "FFCA 2001" and hand numbered, with an accompanying authentication. These centerpieces will be auctioned to the highest bidders on Friday evening.
Thanks again, Joniece! |
