Hey everyone:
What are you expecting from Our 10 year reunion? What can we do to make it a success? We'd love to hear your ideas.

Mark Doyle

Heavy liquor. Tasteful nudity. This is an anonymous entry right?

My husband had his reunion last year and it was fun they took pictures from the year book and showed them on a projecter. It reminded us of the fun times!

Also they did a picnic at a local park the next day for those who wanted to bring kids and show off the Family! It was potluck so no cost and it was a Cute idea and alot of people went to both!

Melissa Putnam Brown

I like the idea of pictures. Some now and some then would be fun. I think the website is good because we might know each other a little better after reading about each other.

A potluck lunch would be fun too...

Jennifer Fabrizio Levorsen

I think it would be a good idea to have name badges with our pictures on it from high school. We all change so much it might be hard to recognize people. Then also have our special someones wear our name badge as well. That way we know who they belong to.

Miranda Schafer Hollomon

Pictures from back then? Yikes!!

I like the picnic lunch the next day too. I would love to show off my boys!

Stephanie Crofoot Kemp

I'm all for a picnic the next day! A potluck is a great idea to cut down on costs! Plus that way we get to show off how cute the kids are! It would be fun to get all the kids together! Maybe we could come up with some kid friendly activities or crafts too.

Reading though what people have been doing for the last 10 years has been awesome! It makes me remember how much I miss just hanging out and talking to friends!

Katherine Jane McDougall Mason

I agree, that a picnic would be awesome (like at the 5 year)! Can't wait to see everyone!

Christina Johnson

I just wanted to ask if the reunion is for significant others as well!! If so is the price for one or the couple?

Lori Ashby Green

I found my yearbook while packing boxes to move. It was so much fun to go back a read what people wrote and look at the pictures. It will be fun to see how much everyone has changed and grown up!!

Megan Wachs Shewell

I agree we should do a picnic the next day so those who have children can bring their children. I think also it would make it worth while for everone to have some more time to catch up with people they haven't seen in 10 years.

Kammi Johnson Pyles

Christina,
The reunion is for significant others as well. Ticket prices are $21 a person, so $42 a couple (if you buy them before July 1st). See you there!

Kammi Johnson Pyles

Thanks for the ideas and keep them coming. Hopefully we'll be able to implement some of them at the reunion.

As class officers we've tried to do our best to keep costs down. But,it does all add up. If you come, for example, you'll be having a $12 per person catered dinner from Famous Daves. We can't really give that our for free. There are also other major costs, such as renting the building.
We could've just met at a park and brought sack lunches, but we thought it would be fun to have a nice evening together. We carefully calculated ticket prices to be as reasonable and fair as possible. I have multiple friends who have paid up to $40 per person for their 10 year reunions. We really didn't want to do that to everyone and we've tried our best.
Maybe by our 25 year reunion one of us will have enough $$$ to fund our event, ;) but for now we all have to chip in. Please consider it as a fun date with your significant other and come see everyone you haven't seen in 10 years! We'd love to have everyone come.

Miranda Schafer Hollomon

I agree. $25/person isn't bad. I'm looking forward to a night out with my husband!! It doesn't happen often. :)

Kammi Johnson Pyles

Rebecca,
We do have a few classmates that aren't able to attend the dinner. We are trying to work out a fair ticket price and way to collect some money for people coming after dinner (7:30-8:00ish). We'll post something on the site about that when we find the best solution.
Also, there are some classmates working on putting together a picnic on Saturday for classmates and their families. We'll get information about that on the site once it is organized as well.
With the next reunions, we'll try to keep in mind doing different activites with different costs attached.
Also, I didn't take your first message offensively, I understand your concern and hope I answered it okay.

A possible idea for the picnic/family get together on the 2nd. Last week I had a large family reunion where we all just showed up at the park with food for our own families and plenty of time to visit. It made it very easy to plan and throw together. No one had to worry about how many or who should bring what. Although potlucks are very fun...this idea was so much easier to implement!
