To VHS class of 1999,
I am sorry to say that the reunion planning is not going well. We have had little response to the reunion and I have had very little help with planning. I need your help. You may remember our senior year that we paid class dues, I think they were around $5.00. That has covered most of our deposits and mailings until now. The money we were asking that you pay for the tickets was to cover the remainder of the deposits and reunion costs. With that being said I would like to explain the situation I am now in.
We had to give our final numbers to Agora on May 13th. With that we did not have enough participating class members to keep the room at Agora. We had to cancel the room and our deposit ($300) was lost. I tried to cancel the DJ we had booked however; he is requiring that we pay the remainder of our deposit, which is $400.00. There is not enough money left in the class funds to pay this amount. I have full intentions of refunding the money to everyone who has paid. However, if I refund everyone’s money I will have to pay the $400.00 out of my pocket. So I would like some input on what you want.
I have come up the a few options, and I am open to your suggestions.
1. We can move the reunion to another date and hope we get a better response. The DJ said he would be happy to do that, but will still require his payment by June 13th.
2. I can check on having the reunion at another location.
3. I can pay the remainder of the deposit to the DJ, and return to you what is left. I know this doesn’t seem fair, but I don’t know how else to pay him.
4. You can give me some more options.
I have not yet made a decision about the picnic. I am hoping to still have the picnic at the scheduled time, but will modify it as needed.
If you would like to help me with the repair and planning of the reunion, please let me know. I am desperate for your input and help. If you would like to talk to me personally you may call be at 501-514-4077.
Thanks,
Vanessa Lawrence
