Q&A
Q and A
Let us answer any questions you may have:
Why is this reunion being run by Our Alumni this time?
We have chosen to take up the sole responsibility of creating our reunion in a more "whimsical, exciting" venue, one that other reunion companies were not willing to do in a more creative setting. We are also able to give you a much better value for your money. The ticket price is the same as it was 10 years ago, though this evening will be more memorable than our previous reunions.
Why Atlantic City? Why the Trump Taj Mahal?
Why not? Thinking that so many alumni found AC to be fun and exciting, as well as refreshing and different, we listened to you. And the fact that Cindi Feinsot has been employeed with Trump Taj Mahal for 20 years, she threw out this venue to us, and we "grabbed it." With Cindi overseeing all the details of this evening, our reunion is sure to be a success!
But why a Friday night?
It was much less expensive for the banquet room as well as hotel rooms then a Saturday night.
Why April 29th?
Weather is great for traveling, clear of any holidays, not a true "family vacation time with the kids, not the summer, not the freezing cold, should we go on?
What about an invitation I may get from a reunion company?
A paper invite may still come to you. The reunion company continues to feel that they want to do a reunion for our class. This reunion at the Taj is Our class reunion, any other, would just be the same old, same old. But please don't get confused. This is truly the Big 30th Reunion, UHS-Class of 1981 that we have all been waiting for. We just can't stop the reunion companys from attempting to hold one.
Who is on the committee?
Donna Troncone, Janine Rispoli, Gynine Santoro, Laurie Battiato, Lori Spivak, John Zurka and Bill Scheiner. AND SPECIAL THANKS TO Janine Falgares, Cindi Feinsot, & Danny Becker from the class of 80 for your support!!!
What does the ticket price include? (this is from UHS 1980 reunion last year - it could change)
We have chosen an unusual dining experience: Butler Passed Hor D'oeuvers for the first hour, then we add two great Buffets, a "neovo" Pollenta Bar, a Sushi Bar, Salad Bar, two Carving Stations and a Pastry Station. Also included in the ticket price (which, by the way, hasn't increased since our 20th Reunion) is Music and Dancing, Photographer, Door Prizes and the costs of putting the reunion together. We will be also providing a "cash bar."
What is the Attire for the evening? Many alumni are curious as to the attire for the evening. Just throw on your favorite jeans, or wear that little black dress "Casino Chic"/Upscale Casual....

I'd like to make a donation, what is this money used for?
Donations are sincerely appreciated to defer the costs of putting this reunion together. These monies are also available if we are contacted by someone and they are having hardship in their lives, though would love to attend. If this might be the case for you, or someone you know, please let us know. We also plan on continuing this site way after the reunion. To maintain this site, there is a cost. We will be posting pictures of the reunion on this site, so we are eager to continue this site being active.
How can I donate something to the reunion? I hear they will be giving away prizes?
You can contact Gynine Santoro (by going to Classmates Profile, above left tab, find her name) and let her know you have something to donate, ie: a service, gift certificate, show/sports tickets, airline milage, gift basket, first born child (only kidding) by clicking on the "Donation Tab". Think of the type of fundraisers at your kids school, looking for interesting yet fun donations to give away. We have all been to them...The more interesting donations, that more excitement will be created. What about the business your in..think of how you can simply make a donation from what your doing in your daily life. We would be most grateful for whatever you feel you can donate.
How do I place an ad for my business? (UNDER CONSTRUCTION!)
Go to the "Our Sponsors" tab to the left and follow our simple steps. If you are having a hard time setting up your business card, contact Danny Becker and he will assist you. You can contact him by sending him a message through his "classmate profile".
Can I add a picture to my profile?
Scroll way down below and follow the directions. You can also add video!!
Will I receive a paper/snail mail invite?
We will be sending out a "Save the Date" postcard in October, so everyone will know to refer to this site. Not everyone is on Face Book/Classmates and not everyone is aware of the reunion. For those who are not on the computer, this will also advise them how to purchase tickets by phone. Other then that, This Is Your Official Invitation. This is really it! We felt that this was a more savvy way of getting the information to you, where we can constantly update everyone. You can also see which of your friends are going! You will purchase your ticket right here on this site. Just click to your left at the "Buy UHS Merchandise" tab. Your confirmation would be on your credit card statement, and your name will be on the rooster at the registration desk at the hotel banquet ballroom.
How can I help?
You can contact any one of us on the committee.
