CLASS REUNIONS

[GrnBay007]

So I'm starting the initial planning for our next big class reunion. First time I volunteered to plan it and I only did so because the last one was pretty much a flop. Don't know if it was thrown together too fast or what.

So anyway............I'm sure ALL of you have been to a couple class reunions. Anything stick out in your mind that was a nice added addition? All ideas are welcome!!!!

In the past it's been a 2-day event. First night going to the old school football game and kind of a casual spot to meet afterward and then the next night semi-formal.

Ideas........

Ideas.......

LEGGO!! ( I said that to my son the other day and he said, mom, don't say that!!!) lol so of course I will!

Hi 007:

Not knowing how many will attend. Here are couple of suggestions:

a) Try to find a decent spot for a breckfast where everyone buys their own on a Saturday morning.

b) Maybe a combined social BarBQ on Saturday afternoon that could be combined with a softball game or a place to have a swim. The first 30 arrivals get to play. Swim..the more the merrier. Everyone should wear a suit.

That works well for a group of about 40-50. Two three BarBQs and its $10 Bucks$ a head and simple. Dogs and Burgers (condiments) and chips and pretzels.

c) Another Saturday idea that is fun. How about breckfast (coffee and donuts) followed by a Scavenger Hunt of say 2-3 Hours followed by a social at some decent pay as you go bar, with some food (again ) available to purchase.

I thought that woody would have recomended a dance-off.

No man. This I assume will be a heterosexual Co-Ed event attended by people over 45 years that will dance their feet off like in the movie .... They Shoot Horses Dont They. This is ONLY a Friday - Sunday weekend event. Dancers LOVE to dance.

007, Ours was a nice event, I remember there being a band, but more, I remember being able to reconnect with friends I'd lost touch with and that's what made it special for me (that and the woman who went around apologizing for anything she might have done in high school because she used to be a bitch). We didn't even stay that long. We went out for custard. That may be becoming a trend.

I understood it. The problem is you're not drunk. Little Whiskey, indeed.

[Scott Campbell]

I understood it.

Then maybe you could translate it into human for the rest of us.

Facebook?

Facebook?

I'm using FB to contact people and get contact info.

What I'm asking is did you ever go to a reunion where they did something special or something unique?

I was thinking of trying to gather a lot of old pics and make a CD to music to have playing at some point but that seems like a lot of work..lol I have to hunt down the old Class Prophecy and Will too.

I went to one. Our "class" wasn't really big into this kind of thing though. We cancelled our senior dance because they only sold 12 tickets, so 40-50 people showing up at a bar seemed like a success. For something awkward like a class reunion, access to alcohol is a MUST. Access to cheap and/or free alcohol will make any such gathering a success, especially if you use that to lure them in. Some free eats, even cheap stuff, will be appreciated as well.

I think the simpler the better. Forcing people into "activities" only makes them fear going. Unless it's bikini mud wrestling.

[GrnBay007]

Dang, cancelled the Senior dance? How many were in your graduating class?

[SkinBasket]

220 or 240 or something. We just didn't like each other very much.

[GrnBay007]

I guess not if they cancelled with that many in your class! lol

We only had about 100...so this shouldn't be too hard to plan.

Way different then where my kids are now. They each have about 450 in their class.
