Reunion Update

Thank you to all who have bought tickets so far for the reunion. I have to man up however and admit a goof that I made. I originally stated that the last time you could buy tickets was November 13 so that we could get a headcount for Rock Hill. After contacting Rock Hill, they stated that they did not need a head count until November 20. So what does that mean? You have 5 MORE DAYS to buy tickets if you haven't gotten one (and as an additional bonus, I will hold some other tickets at the door for any people who come in absolutely last minute so email me if you are interested in buying tickets at the door). So I apologize for the premature run on tickets (and there was quite a run) and I hope I didn't cause anyone to panic.

So now that my mea culpa is out of the way, lets get on to a mini-mailbag:

What is the dress code for the reunion?

The dress code is to wear something that is casual but nice (for example, no sweatpants). Guys - I will be wearing a button down shirt with a nice pair of jeans and black shoes. Girls - I have no idea what the equivalent outfit is for you ladies but I hope you catch the drift.

What day and what time is the reunion again?

The reunion is the day after Thanksgiving (Friday, November 27) and the reunion will go from 7:30 PM to 11:30 PM.

So, how will this party bring an element of our class into the reunion? Are we having a slide show with old high school pictures? Are there going to be party favors like a pint glass that says "WHB Class of 1999 - 10 Year Reunion"?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, to be honest, I have been so worried about spreading the word to as many people as possible and making sure that they bought tickets, i didn't really focus on this aspect. Now that we have sold more than 80 tickets (and orders are still trickling in), this is something that we could try to do. There will be no party favors as it is not in the budget. And there will be no slide show as we don't have the tools to use it. What we can try to do (and I have no idea if this will work or not) is if people have scanned pictures that they would like displayed at the reunion, please email them to me at wernerk@bc.edu and if we get enough responses, something very rudimentary will be put together. So if you have pictures readily available, send them and we will see what we can do.

I want to help during the reunion. What can I do?

I want to thank all the people who have offered their help. It is appreciated. The one thing that everyone can do is buy a ticket and enjoy themselves at the reunion. The great part of this reunion is that both Rock Hill and Danielle Ibba are taking care of a lot of the legwork and both are doing great jobs. But we still need three things:

1. Buy a ticket and enjoy yourself at the reunion. The great part of this reunion is that both Rock Hill and Danielle Ibba are taking care of a lot of the legwork and both are doing great jobs. With most of the work completed, you can all sit back and enjoy the food, the drinks and the dancing.

2. We need an Official photographer (or photographers) at the reunion. The photographer would (ideally) have a good digital camera, take pictures from time to time of people who attend the reunion (but the photographer would only take a pictures sporadically, I don't want them "working" the whole time at their own reunion) and would be able to share all of the photos on a website like Picasa, Flickr or Snapfish. If anyone has these set of skills, please email me at wernerk@bc.edu.

3. My one true goal was to spread the word about this reunion to all Class of 1999ers. In order to spread the word about the reunion, we set up a facebook page, a myspace announcement, put flyers up around Westhampton, put a notice in the Southampton Press, put a notice in the local Manorville paper and spread the word about the reunion through word of mouth. Despite trying to reach out to everyone in or class, I KNOW we haven't reached everyone and there may still be people that don't know about the reunion. So I was dumb enough to compile a list of names from the yearbook of people that I have NOT heard from. And thats where all of you come in. If you see someone on this list that you talk to or have contact with, let them know about the reunion. Without further ado, here are the people I would like to get in contact with (and as time goes on, I will remove people who have been contacted):
