KHS Class of 1999 REUNION!

Slide Show

2009-08-31T11:35:00.000-07:00

Also, as a side note, Jason Alinen was kind enough to put together a slide show for the reunion, but unfortunately, the projector fizzled on Saturday morning, so we were unable to show it!

I know, sad face.

Here is the link to the photos, though, so you can enjoy the trip down memory lane despite the technology malfunction! Jason put a TON of hard work into this, and i want to be sure it's shared!

SLIDESHOW

Photos and Recap!

2009-08-31T10:51:00.000-07:00

Hello, my sweet sweet chickadees!

For those of you who i saw on Saturday and at the bar-b-que yesterday, what an absolute TREAT it was to see each and every one of you. I had the most amazing time reconnecting with friends from the past, it really was an amazingly memorable night.

For those of you who were unable to make it, you were missed! We had a lot of people asking about various alums who were MIA, and I hope that you will be able to make it to the 20-year! (which, by the way, i am NOT planning! ha! someone else can take that one on!!!)

Here are a couple of photos from the night. Arthur Shore was also busy taking some amazing photos for our viewing pleasure, and i will post those, too, when i receive them.

PHOTOS

Did you all have fun? Was there anything you wished we had done to improve the evening? My only regret was that those 5 hours seemed to fly by, i wish it could have lasted all night! Before you knew it, it was midnight ... now i know how Cinderella felt!

I hope you all stay in touch, whether it's via Facebook, email, twitter, message in a bottle, carrier pigeon, owl... was so great to get back in touch over the past year planning this thing, and i love to hear what everyone is up to now and again.

Take care, talk soon.

xoxo

IT'S FINALLY HERE!

2009-08-28T10:15:00.001-07:00

REUNION WEEKEND!

It's Friday, which means TOMORROW is our reunion!!!!!

I can barely believe it. We've been working hard for almost TWO YEARS dreaming up how to make this night the most memorable EVER. We've had a few road blocks along the way, spent WAY too much money (we don't get paid for this, you know!) and reconnected with COUNTLESS classmates over the past 12 months, all leading up to this point.

I'm so so excited!

For those of you who have not purchased tickets yet, fear not. There will still be tickets available at the door. And if you have to come late for some reason, there will be discounted tickets available after 9.30pm.

Because there is a limited number of tickets available at the door, you can call 800 954-1044 to pay for yours with a credit card, to ensure your spot in our night of fun!

I am truly excited to see all of your faces, and can't wait to reminisce about all the fun (and not so fun) times we had over 10 years ago!

Thank you to everyone who has helped put this weekend together:

Reunion Committee:
Amanda [Hooser] Giralmo
Krystle Peredo
Nicole [Whitson] Rad
Breanne Benzel
Christine Curtiss
Christian Fresco
Amanda [Dennis] Abbinanti

And also to Jason and Jessica Alinen, for putting our fabulous slideshow together!

You have no idea how much i appreciate all that you have done to help make this night a success!

xoxo

See you all very soon,

Mandy

Your Frequently Asked Questions Answered!

2009-08-24T09:47:00.000-07:00

Hello my fellow KHS Class of 1999 alums!

You’ll be happy to hear that the reunion is only 6 days away, after which you will not have to receive an email from me EVER AGAIN IN YOUR LIFE! I know, relief, right?? ;)

But, in the meantime, we’re getting down to the home stretch, and I have been getting a bunch of emails from peeps with some questions, and thought I’d address them to you all in case you had the same concerns.

Tomorrow is the FINAL DAY to buy tickets to the SECOND BIGGEST PARTY OF 2009 (1st biggest I’m guessing is probably the Academy Awards) and your ONE AND ONLY TEN YEAR HIGH SCHOOL REUNION! So, be sure to buy tickets before midnight tomorrow night so you don’t miss out on this adventure. I promise, it will be a night to remember. WE may even go streaking. Who knows. But it’s going to be great.

Yes, you can buy tickets at the door for those of you who love the last minute planning (Brandon, I’m pointing at YOU!)… HOWEVER, there are a LIMITED amount of tickets to be sold at the door, AND, you won’t get the cool nametags we’re making for everyone. And, you’ll be contributing to my gray hairs and anxiety about how much food and booze to get, SO, it pays to buy your tickets early. If you want to just call me and I can order for you, that works – 206.407.6567 or mandyhoov (at) hotmail (dot) com. I have an order form I can fill out for you. yay! easy as that.

There are no physical tickets. There is a list at the door and you will be on it! Totally VIP, i know.

Dress code is evening casual. Which means nothing, I know. So, ladies, I’m thinking nice dress (sundress or shift dress, no prom attire, up-do’s, free makeover at Nordies, or anything crazy like that!). Men, slacks and a nice shirt. No tie, suit jacket, or anything like that is required, it’s not Vegas. Just be comfortable! :)

The event is located at Sodo Pop, which is located directly across the street from the Starbucks Corporate Headquarters downtown, in SODO. There is street parking, some pay parking, and it shouldn’t be a problem. Event starts at 7pm and goes until midnight, when we will all make our way downtown to continue on partying into the night. Oh yes, Belltown won’t know what hit it.

No outside alcohol at the event please. I know, I sound like a teacher, gross. But I guess the bartender we’ve hired is really strict about it, and if he sees it, he’ll kick you out. So, if you DO want to bring airplane bottles or anything, make sure you drink them in the bathroom. And save me one.

It’s a cash bar, but we will be serving some yummy foods Christine (Beth) Curtiss is preparing for us. The menu will include some delicacies like fruits and veggies, antipasti platter, salmon, shrimp, meatballs, cheese plate (The good stuff, no worries!) and crackers… YUM!

There will be eating, drinking, dancing, laughing, a short awards program and a lot of memory making.

Any other questions? Don’t hesitate to ask! I’ll be sending a few more updates throughout the week, too, with any last minute info. Click here, too, for more info.

We have our final Committee meeting tonight, and plan on calling all of you who haven't bought tickets yet... so get ready for that, too! OR, save yourself from this pain and buy your ticket today! :)

That's all for now....

Can’t wait to see all of you!

Xo,

Mandy Hoover + Your Hard Working Reunion Committee

EIGHT DAYS TILL REUNION TIME!

2009-08-21T16:11:00.000-07:00

can't wait! so excited to see you all!

this is the FINAL WEEKEND to purchase your tickets -- we stop selling next tuesday at midnight, so please buy them if you haven't!

Party time starts at 7pm at Sodo Pop in downtown Seattle. We will have a cash bar and a ton of yummy aperitifs for you to nibble on! (no outside alcohol allowed -- i know, i'm sorry!)

Dress is evening casual. I don't think that is actually a term, so i will clarify - ladies: nice dress or slacks (but nothing formal), men: slacks, no tie or collared shirt necessary if you don't want! Feel free to email me if you have any other questions.

SO excited to see you all! The committe has been working hard to make this a night never to forget!

Nostalgia for the day!

2009-04-28T14:53:00.000-07:00

This song is so nostalgic for me! Do you guys remember it? Wow...

Update

2009-03-30T16:16:00.001-07:00

Invitations have been sent out, and you should have received them by now! Please let me know if you have not, and we can figure out why.

Also, be sure to check out the website, where you can update us on what you've been up to (for the memory book), check out who's missing, view the invitation online, or even find fellow classmates and send them emails (using your connection code found on your invitation).

Also, be sure to contact BreAnne Benzel (breannenicole@hotmail.com) with your song requests!

cheers!

INVITES SENT!

Update

2009-03-20T12:25:00.000-07:00

Hello all!

The invitations have been finalized, and planning is underway! They are being sent out next week, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for them! YAY!

The reunion committee is hard at work helping to make this event a night we will never forget! (and not just because of all the alcohol consumption!!)

I have already received several emails from people offering to help in various aspects, and i CANNOT thank you enough! Every little bit of help on this is greatly appreciated on our end, we cannot do this without you!

For those of you who WANT to help but not really wanting to be overly involved, that's fine, i have a job for you! Please take some time to check out our list of the missing, and if you see somebody on that list that you know, or that you keep in contact with, perhaps you work with them or live close to them, or maybe your mothers are in the same quilting club... if you could please contact them and let them know that we are trying desperately to find them, because we do NOT want them to miss out on this ONCE IN A LIFETIME occasion! We would greatly appreciate it!

You: "But Mandy! surely there is something else we can help you with besides just rounding up the lost classmates!"

Mandy: "YES! there are plenty of other things! thank you for asking, You!"

We are trying to gather some goods for the Reunion Party, to make it as absolutely radiculicious as possible. One thing we are collecting is SONG REQUESTS that you want to hear at the actual event! What type of music, you ask? it can be ANYTHING! I'm particularly fond of playing some of the old-school tunes we listened to back in the day (pre-iPod era, so, on our walkmen and discmen!)... but also anything you just really love to dance to! Once you have your request, please email them to BreAnne Benzel, at BreAnneNicole@Hotmail.com.

We are also trying to collect photos/video clips from high school or prior. These will be put into a slide show for the night of, and we want to be sure we are representing everyone! SO, if you have some great photos, scan 'em and send 'em along! You can either send them to me, Mandy Hoover, at MandyHoov@hotmail.com, or you can send them to Jason Lumbert, who has graciously offered to assist with all the technical and creative aspects of this photo/video/slide show extravaganza! He can be reached at JasonLumbert@gmail.com.

Or, if you want to let people know about our collection efforts, I've created an easy email template for you! Simply copy and paste the following into the email body, and send it to EVERYONE you know from our graduating class!

***

Dear you,

Please send song requests for the Reunion to BreAnne Benzel (BreAnneNicole@hotmail.com), and please send photos (scanned) and videos for the slide show to Mandy Hoover (MandyHoov@hotmail.com) or Jason Lumber (JasonLumbert@gmail.com) so you are sure to be included!

Thanks!
Me
***

So, be sure to keep an eye out in your mailbox for your super duper invitation, and also be sure to check out the website! Once you purchase your ticket, you will have access to the directory that has all your classmates emails in it, so you can reconnect with people even BEFORE the reunion hits! How AWESOME is that?!?!

Also keep in mind that, because we have coordinated this event through a company, Reunions with Class, they have given you the option to make payment plans, if the ticket price is a bit shocking for some(which, in this economy, anything over $5 is shocking for me!!).

Thanks all! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions! I'm eager to help, and even more eager to see all of you this August 29th!

All my best,

Mandy Hoover

The Reunion Committee

almost there!

2009-02-17T14:53:00.000-08:00

going to check out the potential venue today! will let you all know this week what we find out! it's getting close!!!!!!

we're trying to keep the tickets as CHEAP as possible by picking a smaller venue, and this one i'm viewing tonight seems ideal... making tix run just around $60 per, as opposed to the $100 most reunions face!!

thanks for your patience, i'll keep you all posted.

Quick Update

2009-02-03T08:38:00.000-08:00

Hi All!

i know a lot of you are getting frustrated that we haven't set a date for the reunion yet -- we are frustrated too! But unfortunately, we haven't found a venue that we are satisfied with, and we don't want the reunion to be a bust...

We think we MAY have found "The Place", and we're in the works with the Reunion company to get things set. as SOON as i know anything, i'll let you all know!

thanks again for your patience! Call or email me with any questions.

Cheers,

Reunion Committee

ps, the reunion WILL be on a Saturday, even if i have to pay the extra deposit myself!! so no worries for those of you coming in from out of town!

PPS, did you guys know there was a movie out about our graduating class?? how cool! :)

Friday or Saturday?

2008-12-15T11:17:00.000-08:00

Hey all, i just spoke with the company helping us plan the reunion, and they are telling me that reunions that happen on Friday nights have a WAY bigger turn out than ones planned for Saturdays. This is really blowing my mind, as many of you I've spoken with and said they wouldn't even be able to come if it was on a Friday -- either due to travel, or work, or what have you. I am convinced that holding the party on Saturday would probably double our attendance, but to be sure, I've added a poll to the left, if you could each chose the night you'd prefer the reunion to be held, i can let our company know the results and we can plan accordingly.

Thanks everybody!

Updated MISSING List

2008-12-15T10:36:00.000-08:00

Hey all! if any of you have any way of contacting the following people, we are hoping you can get their info to me ASAP! these are our 'lost' classmates. I want to be sure that we are able to invite everyone in our class! Also, will have a date and location within the next 2 to 3 weeks, so be sure you keep checking the blog for updates!

Cheers!

Update!

2008-10-20T16:19:00.000-07:00

Hi All!

No, we haven't forgotten about you... we've just been very busy! We have our company looking into venues around the city for us, and once they have a good long list, we're going to go check them out! the only snag we've run into so far is that we want to keep the ticket prices as LOW as possible, so the venues we have as options are turning out to be a little less "polished" as we had hoped.

SO, what we would love from you, is if any of you know of anyplace around the city of Seattle (we're hoping to stay around downtown, so we can all hit the town after the party is over ) either that you have connections at, or just a really cool place you've attended/thrown a party at, please shout the ideas to me! we can use all the help we can get at this point of the game -- the venue makes the event!

thanks all! I'll keep you posted as i know more! but once we have the venue picked, we can choose the date! and then it's all downhill from there!

Cheers!

please, please, PLEASE, if you happen to have an extra commencement ceremony brochure hanging around, could you PLEASE let me know? I haven't yet received one and am desperate to get my hands on one! The high school hasn't been able to be any help to me in this department either (Silly Kamiak).

Thank you, let me know if you have one and i can send you a self-addressed stamped envelope to get it to me before our meeting next week!

thank you thank you thank you!

Need your Help!

2008-09-02T11:15:00.000-07:00

Thank you again to everyone who has sent me their information! We have 100 names so far -- which means we're about a fifth of the way through! Still a long way to go, which is why we still need your help in spreading the word.

Almost as important, we also need names of people who have married within the class, as well as anyone you know who is deceased. I haven't received word on either of these, yet, and am hoping to get some assistance with this...

So please, if you know of anyone who fits the above criterion, let me know in a quick email to MandyHoov@hotmail.com.

Committee is meeting with the Reunions with Class company next week, after which we will most likely know the specific date of the event (will be late August/early September, most likely, thanks to your feedback on the Reunion Poles! YES, your opinion REALLY does matter!!) so you can mark your calendars! Be sure to check back here periodically for important updates, and again, SPREAD THE WORD!

thanks all!

Nostalgia for the day:

loves,

Your Reunion Committee

First Committee Meeting Wrap-Up!

2008-08-27T09:29:00.000-07:00

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!

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

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

Much appreciated!

KHS Reunion!

2008-07-30T10:24:00.000-07:00

Hello my fellow Kamiak High School 1999 graduates!

If you can believe it, the time has come for our ten year reunion. I know, crazy stuff.

WE are in the INITIAL processes right now, but have started a committee to begin preparations. September we will begin meetings to start to discuss further details, as we all know that the summer can be a VERY busy time for all!

Anyone interested in joining us to help out, i promise it won't be too much work (we've hired a company to do most of the leg work, Reunions With Class, who also did the 1997 reunion), and we'd love any and all to join! So far it is myself, Christian Fresco (via sattelite in NYC), Amanda (Hooser) Giralmo, and Amanda (Dennis) Abbinanti. And no, you don't have to be named Amanda to be a member of the committee. :)

We will keep you abreast of all developments via this blog, so be sure stay up to date with the happenings!

And if you have any questions, ideas, or want to help out in any way, please don't hesitate to let any of us know! Contact information below:

All my best,
