I spoke with one of the attendee’s years ago; I was not shocked by the super low turn-out as our class was VERY cliquey and lacked an overall class identity – evident by almost half the class never even signing up for this site and very few remaining in the area. People grow, mature, settle-down, and I think if even a dozen people showed up for the 30th it would be interesting to trade a few stories and catch a Nicolet game. The challenge with our class is very few people remained in the area - we apparently had a class very willing to explore the US and the world.
It's two years out, but I would be willing to help organize a reunion in 2019 – starting now gives plenty of time to reach out and begin networking to get some feedback. There would be a couple of lines of thought:
1) A summer reunion to better accommodate families with kids out of school, possibly coordinating access/a tour of Nicolet to see the changes, have a group dinner/social, as well as doing something “local” (Summerfest, State Fair, ?).
2) A fall reunion, maybe around Columbus weekend in October, getting in a Nicolet sporting event, a tour of the school, maybe visit someone’s favorite “High School Watering Hole”, and/or have a social gathering.
I would need some assistance in reaching out to and tracking down classmates as I currently do not have any personal social media accounts (for professional reasons), although I may start since I am now semi-retired 😊. Any other takers on maybe getting this train rolling sooner rather than later?
