Okay everybody, I know things have been a little quiet around here, however I plan to make up for that by posting this excessively long announcement. We've heard from a few people who wanted to know what was happening with the Reunion. Here's the latest and greatest:
-We have a caterer for the reunion. We're using Seth Mias, who does all of the catering at Northampton Country Club. He is highly recommended in the area, he's easy to work with, and the pricing is very reasonable. Pete recently attended a function that was catered by Seth, and he said it was truly some of the best food he's ever had a wedding. Pete also found out a few days later that it was actually an 80th birthday party that he attended, but either way he said the food was great. I won't tell you what he said about the dollar dance!
-We have some very generous classmates who have stepped up to the plate, and offered to provide their services for the reunion. We're still confirming the details, but once everything is locked in we can elaborate more on this. Suffice it to say that the generosity of your classmates will make your reunion more festive and more fun without costing you a dime. That's a great reason to support them, and their business, but we'll have more details on that soon.
-We have the ability to sell tickets though this website using credit cards and personal checks through a secure server. This will greatly simplify ticket sales, and we hope there is some interest in buying tickets online.
We want to know how many people are planning to attend the reunion for a few different reasons. The most important of which is so we can finalize a ticket price. The greater the number of attendee’s means the expenses can be spread out a little more, and we can charge lower ticket prices. If six people are planning to show up they, had also better plan to pony up, but if we get 50 or 60 people, ticket prices will be crazy cheap. Seriously though, they’re going to be affordable (way under $50/pp).
What we need from you…
We have only made contact with about half of our graduating class so far. If you know someone who may be interested in going to this reunion, please give them the details, or the link to this site so they have the option. We need some help finding some of these people, and we’re not going to cold call everyone’s parents to track everyone down like we did for the 10th reunion. (A few of you must have really pissed off your parents, because I got dressed down several times trying to track everyone down!) If we don’t see them on this site or the Facebook page, we can only assume they aren’t coming.
Seriously, if you have a number or and e-mail for someone not on this site, please give them a call, or e-mail them to see if they are interested in the details of the reunion.
Log onto the website, and take the RSVP Survey. It’s four questions, it gives us a tentative headcount, and with that we can set the ticket price and have the tickets ready by November 1.
So, it probably took you longer to read this manifesto than it will to answer the 4 multiple-choice questions in the survey. But we need to feedback to wrap these details up.
Click on the "RSVP Survey" button in the upper left corner of the homepage to access the survey.
