WHAT ELSE?
 
For your convenience, we have set up an open forum on the website for all classmates to post any additional outings that they would like to set up throughout the Reunion Weekend.  It is next to impossible to cram a ton of activities into a weekends's time so we encourage you to reach out to other classmates, get together and catch up on on lost time. This, of course, is not included in the price of your ticket and is completely on your own. If you have any ideas, please post them in the forum. 
 
NEED YOUR HELP
 
Please send any photos and/or videos that you may have from high school to Ashly Olivier (Ashly@OlivierEvents.com) or Courtney Smith Ally(courtnben1520@yahoo.com). If you have a memory in the form of a VHS tape that you wouldn't mind lending, we would be glad to meet up with you to obtain the VHS; we will return the tape to you on Saturday night. Again, please contact Ashly or Courtney with any questions.

 SPONSORS
 
We are looking for companies to sponsor our reunion to make this event EVEN BETTER.  In exchange for a monetary donation, the company or person will receive recognition on the reunion website, video, and signage throughout both events.  We are also in need of giveaways and raffle prizes from local businesses.  If you, your company, or a company that you know would like to become an event sponsor or donate a product or service to our reunion, please contact Ashly Olivier (Ashly@OlivierEvents.com) or Courtney Smith Ally (courtnben1520@yahoo.com). 
 
FAQ's
 
How many people will attend?  It's hard to say because the level of interest, response and participation varies from class to class.  The best way to increase attendance at the reunion is for each classmate to reach out to others to encourage them to attend.  The Reunion Committee can only do so much; please help us to spread the word.
 
Is there a discounted price for couples?  No, there is no discounted price for couples.
 
Is there a lower price available if I cannot attend Friday night?  Unfortunately there is only one ticket price for the entire weekend.
 
Can I get a refund for my ticket if I am not able to make it to the reunion?  Unfortunately we are not able to refund anyone's money for the reunion tickets.
 
How are ticket prices determined?  The largest portion of the ticket price is determined by the cost of the use of the facility (The Lakeland Center), the menu, signage, bar service, tables, chairs, linens, service ware, use of monitors, security, parking and all that is required for you and your guest to be on the premises. Another portion covers the disc jockey, sound equipment, professional photographer, decorations and props, event staff, and personalized name badges.  
 
Will my tickets be mailed to me?  No.  We will have a list of all people who purchased tickets through the link on the website.  The person who purchased the tickets will have to show a photo ID at the registration table in order to each event. 
 
When is the deadline for purchasing reunion tickets?  The deadline for purchasing tickets is July 12th, one month prior to the reunion.  There will not be any tickets sold after this date (including at "the door").  This rule applies because we have to give the venue/caterer a headcount in advance. 
 
What is the dress code for Saturday Night? Cocktail-Chic Attire.  No jeans, shorts, cut-offs tank tops or flip-flops.  Typical reunion attire, includes suites & ties for the guys and party dresses for the ladies.  Nice pants and tops will also work for both genders. (The rule of thumb is, you're never over-dressed).
 
How may I share my memorabilia for the evening of the reunion?
Memorabilia displays and tables are a huge part of any reunion.  If you have memorabilia to share, the reunion committee would greatly appreciate it. Please contact Courtney Smith Ally (courtnben1520@yahoo.com) or Ashly Olivier (Ashly@OlivierEvents.com) if you would like to submit photos, video clips, or any other items that we can display.
