The date is set!

Thank you for your feedback to our last email!

Our reunion will be held on Saturday, June 28. The day will be split into two events:
1. Bring-your-own-lunch to a local park where you can bring anyone you would like (i.e., family, significant other, etc.).
2. Catered dinner and program where you can bring one guest.

A list of things that are in the works and coming in the near future:
1. A list on our website showing who we do not have contact information for.
2. An email with the questions for the "where are they now" booklet.

Clarification on cost

I sent this email out a few days ago, so here you go:

Hello! I just want to clarify a question on the email we recently sent out ("Please Reply by March 14"). Question 4 reads "We estimate the cost will be about $30 per person. Do you consider this to be a reasonable cost? If not, what do you suggest?"

Many people have asked if this cost is just for dinner and so I want to tell you exactly what the cost includes:
1. Reservation of park facility for the lunchtime gathering.
2. Reservation of facility for the evening gathering.
3. Catered dinner for the evening gathering.
4. Program during the evening gathering.
5. Memorabilia for each alumni.
6. Possibly other related items such as decorations, banner, mailings (though we are emailing as much as possible), etc.

What the cost does not include:
1. The website.
2. Meal for the lunchtime gathering. Each family is responsible for their own grub.
3. Travel.
4. Our time; so we don't have the cost of a professional reunion planner.
5. "Where are they now" booklet, which we will probably make an electronic version.

We will, of course, make the cost as low as possible; but we also want the reunion to be a good, quality experience for everyone who comes.

"Please Reply by March 14" email

Hi! I sent out a new email today. So here it is for those of you who didn't get it (which, if you didn't get it, will you please email your contact information to heidi@mvhs1998.com):

We really appreciate everyone's help in getting the word out about our reunion! We look forward to seeing everyone again and seeing who has changed or is still the same. :)

We have called everyone, but not all of the numbers we have are still "good"--after all, the list is 10 years old! So if you know of anyone, please tell them how to contact us.

We have decided on a theme for our reunion, but we're going to keep that under wraps for the timebeing. (Nothing like a little taunting!)

We do, however, need to get an estimate of how many people will be attending our reunion. This will help us determine where to host the catered dinner and how much the cost will be per person.

Please answer the following questions and reply to this email. Once again, this is so we can get an estimate; we will have a final RSVP later.

1a. Are you planning on attending our 10 year reunion? (Yes, Probably Yes, Probably No, or No)
1b. If no, would you like to be included in the "where are they now" booklet?
1c. If no, would you still like to receive emails regarding the reunion (website updates, pictures, etc.)?

2. Which date would work better for you, June 7 or June 28?

3. Will you be bringing a guest? (Each person can bring 1 guest to the catered dinner.)

4. We estimate the cost will be about $30 per person. Do you consider this to be a reasonable cost? If not, what do you suggest? (Also, the cost may change depending on how many people come. The more people that attend, the less the cost will be per person.)

5. Would you like to help plan or execute the reunion? If so, what?

As indicated by the subject, please reply by Friday, March 14.

Thank you for your time!
