First Committee Meeting Wrap-Up!

Hey all!

So, your fabulous reunion committee met last night for our premier rendezvous. And it was a success! We have a lot of smart and creative (and experienced event planning!) minds on the team, and I have no doubt that we are more than capable of planning an awesome event for you!

You: Wow, Mandy, that's great! but what can those of us not on the committee do to help?

Mandy: I'm so glad you asked, You. There are a couple of things you can do to really help us out here in the beginning stages!

You: GREAT! What are they?

Mandy:
First thing's first, and that is SPREADING THE WORD and getting people to email me their current contact information. That is SO IMPORTANT. Just refer them to the blog -- if you don't remember the exact URL, just have them do a Google search for KHS Class of 1999 Reunion and it comes up NUMBER ONE! (gotta love search engine marketing!)

Secondly, we are putting together a list of our classmates from 1999 who have married other classmates of 1999. If you know of anyone who has married someone else in their own class, please let me know!

And lastly, we are compiling a list of deceased classmates of 1999. This has proven the most difficult, as it is a touchy subject. If you know of anyone who graduated with us who has passed, please PLEASE let me know via email or as a comment to this blog and we will include them in the memorial.


Any of this information would be extremely helpful! It's part of the initial packet I'm putting together for the company we've hired, and it's due SEPTEMBER 8th. EEK!

Please email everything to MandyHoov@hotmail.com.

Thanks again, everyone, for all of your help!

Love,

The reunion committee!

SO, step one in planning a reunion, turns out, is locating all the alumni! i know, CRAZY, right???

So that's our initial step. We need to find out WHERE you all are now, so we can get information to you.

SO... please, please, PLEASE send an email to MandyHoov@hotmail.com with the following information:

Current Occupation:

After we have this necessary information, we can begin to build the database for this shin-dig!

Also, if anyone has an old copy of our Commencement program, we are in DIRE need of one... it will be returned to you, PROMISE!

Please let me know if any of you (or your folks!) have one that you can lend to me.

Much appreciated!
