We the People ...

Our emphasis in planning our 35th Reunion is to contact as many people as possible.  To this effort we have:

  • Established this blog.  This past weekend we reached 1,000 hits.
  • Sent out 160 post cards.
  • Built an email list of over 160 contacts
  • Posted announcements in PATCH.COM
Please review the Missing Classmate page and reach out to the classmates we can't find or have not responded to our requests.

Classmate Directory

We are planning on putting together a classmate directory.  (For both attendees and those that can not make the event).  The electronic directory will be free to everyone who "opts-in" by providing their information.  Paper or CD versions will be available for a fee.

Please let us know if you have any suggestions regarding how to compile this information.  Specifically, we would like to include photos but need help in figuring out how to efficiently do this.

Connecting to Non-Attendees

Looking for suggestions and possible help implementing these solutions to connect to classmates that are not able to attend.
  • We have wireless capabilities and are considering a live stream.  Looking for help to set this up.
  • We are putting together a video.  We will solicit video clip greetings from classmates not able to attend.
  • We are looking for suggestions to how to connect to classmates (other than the live stream) using Internet capabilities.  Looking for suggestions and help.
