10 Year Reunion Planning Meeting Minutes

• July 16, 2012
• Trevi Restaurant 6:00-8:00 p.m.
• Members in attendance: Stephanie Watts, Katie Powell, Trista Price, Tiffany Moore, Ashley (Slaughter) Newman, Mandi (Wilson) Noll

 

1. After much discussion, the members in attendance decided on Irish Eyes Restaurant in Lewes, Delaware. Prior to the meeting, we received some information on pricing, etc from this venue and although other ideas were given, the committee members present agreed on this location 6-0. It is on the marina in Lewes and we will have the entire second floor! Check it out…beautiful!

 

 

2. Again the members present agreed that September 2013 (a specific weekend has not been selected) would be the best time of year for pricing, since it will be after the summer season. Additionally, the weather would still be nice enough to enjoy the Lewes/Rehoboth/Dewey area for anyone interested in staying the weekend. If we have enough interest, we will look into blocking off rooms at a hotel hopefully for a discounted rate. J

 

3. Entertainment was discussed. Katie Powell is going to inquire about hiring a D.J. (her brother-in-law) for a decent price. Other ideas were discussed. Please feel free to share ideas too!

 

4. Promotion/Publicity-We really, really plan to utilize social media since it is FREE to promote our reunion. The team realized that not every graduate has access to the internet or uses a type of social media. SO, if you know anybody that is not on the original facebook mass message, please please send me an email (smyrna03@gmail.com) with their information! Otherwise, we plan to obtain a copy of our graduating list from SHS and send out postcards (save some moo-lah on stamps) to addresses from high school with hopes parents are still available to share the news.

 

5. Decorations-Sorry people….we don’t plan to spend too much money on this aspect of our reunion. Priorities were the venue, entertainment, and possible photo booth! Decorations will most likely consist of pictures, pictures, pictures! Any other *inexpensive ideas are welcome!

 

6. Games/Door Prizes-maybe, maybe not? To be continued…. Ideas welcome!

 

7. Tickets-Well to save money and the hassle of sending checks, the team discussed the idea of looking into paypal and setting it up on the class website. (Yes, we have a class website I created a few years back that is rather simple…but needless to say, we have one!) More information to come! (A rough, very rough estimate is $40-45 per person.)

 

8. Next Meeting Date: Friday, October 26, 2012 at McGlynns Restaurant in Dover at 7:00 p.m. PLEASE email me prior to the date and let me know if you plan to attend so reservations can be made accordingly.

 

Member Goals to be completed by next meeting:

• Paypal information for website/bank account
• Pricing for D.J.
• Options and pricing for Photo Booth
• Options and pricing for photography
• Classmate finder?? OR create event on facebook and ask classmates to provide current information such as physical mailing address, etc.
