Reunion Planning Update

The reunion planning committee met last night for an update. As of today, here are the numbers for our classmates:

Original Classmates: 520
Surviving Classmates: 500
Classmates with snail mail addresses only: 289
Classmates with email + snail mail addresses: 156
Classmates with email addresses only: 3
Classmates with no contact information: 52

The committee made some executive decisions:

1. Our online reservation and payment site will go live within the next few days. Check back here for details.
2. A followup snail mail mailing will go out to EVERYBODY for whom we have a mail address, even though it will be more expensive. The group felt that our classmates are more responsive to direct mail rather than email requests.
3. Steve Adams will develop the direct mail piece that will go out (hopefully, with some help from Martha Mason. The reunion committee will get together to stuff and lick envelopes and attach stamps.
4. The group will continue to try to locate the remaining classmates for whom we have no contact information.
5. Lynn Osborn will contact the high school about getting an announcement on their sign.
6. Donna Adams will send press releases to all of the local newspapers.
7. Peggy Bannon and Patty Yorks have volunteered to do decorations the day of the reunion.
8. Lynn Osborn will notify Minnetonka CC of our menu choices.
