Hello Fellow 89ers!
Thank you so much for the tremendous response to our new Web site. More than 200 classmates have joined the site and we’re really excited about that, and the fact that so many are interested in coming to the reunion.
Given this response, we thought it would be a good time to explain some things about the site, including how the “missing classmates” section will be handled.
If you log on, it is not assumed that you will be going to the reunion, and we can assure everyone that at no point will we be pressuring or pestering people to attend. The site is simply a fun, low-key way to read about what your fellow classmates have been up to. Unlike facebook or classmates.com, you don’t have to contact anyone directly, and no one knows whose profile you have visited. Classmates are not required to post any personal or contact information either.
Outreach Effort
Until a classmate logs on, however, their name will remain listed in the “missing” section. The goal with identifying missing classmates is to simply ensure that as many classmates as possible are aware of the site, and the reunion. The best way to confirm this is to have people log on, or contact us in some way.
We understand completely that there may be classmates who are not interested in reconnecting or joining the reunion. In some ways, these classmates are still better off logging on. That way, their name will be removed from the “missing section” and no one will try and locate them. They can indicate when they log on that they are not attending the reunion. Also, they can block classmates from viewing any contact information, and let us know they don’t want any further contact.
Wanted: Missing Classmates
We urge everyone to take a good look at the missing classmates link. Is there anyone on there who you still have a connection with? Many of us have Facebook friends who have yet to log on.
Even if you are not in direct contact with someone you see on the list, maybe your parents are still in touch with their parents, or you have siblings that are in touch with their siblings. Many connections have already been made this way.
Absolutely any effort you put forth to reduce the number of missing classmates would be deeply appreciated by the reunion committee. Many of you have already been doing this, and it is so awesome!
Thank you all so much!
