The "There Are Less Than Three Days Left to Register For The Reunion---Jeez Don't You Think That's Kind of Cutting It Close?" Post

school fundraising ideas



Yes, we started talking about this reunion a little over a year ago, and it's amazing how fast time has flown by. It's quite weird to be saying this, but you guys now have less than three days to get registered for the reunion. We hope you didn't put it off too long, and we hope you're still planning to come.

Folks, we sure hope you're not planning to totally surprise us with your presence at the reunion. It'll be great to see you all the same, but for a reunion like this, we need pretty exact numbers beforehand. In other words, you need to let us know you're coming. Why? Well, for instance, the caterer has to order the exact number of plates, napkins, knives, forks and water glasses in order to take care of us. They're not going to bring a lot of extras, and any extra they bring is actually paid for by us. We also need to set up the right amount of tables and chairs for the reunion, and we're hardly going to set up anything beyond the number of people who have registered and paid for the reunion.

We want to avoid any awkward situations where our classmates show up unexpectedly, and we cannot accomodate them. So, it's time to make a decision, and it's time to get registered for this thing. If you only plan on coming to the Iron Horse Mixer on Friday night, or the tour on Saturday morning, or the picnic by itself, you still need to let us know, so we can know what to expect. Thanks. We appreciate it.

In terms of where we stand now: As you can see, we have 98 registered guests for our party Saturday night. We messaged everyone on facebook in order to get an idea of what people's plans were for the reunion, and it looks like our numbers will settle out somewhere around 110-115 people for Saturday night's party. Here are some lists that we have compiled thus far:

If you're not on this list, sorry. No offense. We relied on word of mouth to get the info on the reunion out, so, if you didn't get the word, you're still invited. If you want to get on this list, send us an email to hellgatehigh1992@gmail.com. Of course, at this point you should probably just get signed up. There are only 4 days left before the registration cut-off date, and we'd like to see you there.

Your Loving Reunion Committee
