Morse High School :: Class Of 1999 10-Year Reunion
April 11, 2009
Hey everyone,
Here's the deal. We've been meeting with various venues and talking with Reunion Specialists about the reunion. It's been pretty crazy trying to settle on a place with a reasonable ticket price. These are the options they gave us.
Option A:
We can celebrate our 10 year reunion on a SATURDAY in the Fall, with ticket prices starting at $80-90, have a full on buffet dinner, but be in a smaller room. (Ticket prices will be more expensive in the bigger ballrooms on a Saturday for most venues.)
Option B:
The other option is to have it on a FRIDAY evening in the Fall, still have a full on buffet dinner, with ticket prices starting at $70-80, but be in an actual ballroom with a nice view. Two places we've met with that would apply to this option is The Bristol in Downtown (the one with the retractable rooftop...very nice!!!) and the Holiday Inn on the Bay (facing the water...also very nice!!!)

Option C:
I can do either. I plan to be there regardless. :)
Now, keep in mind that the ticket prices are in that range because other things are included in the package besides dinner/dessert. Reunion Specialists are taking care of the DJ, decorations, favors, registration, online payment system, staff, and more importantly, fronting the money to hold a date with the venue. The earlier your buy your ticket, the cheaper it'll be. We are also trying to plan various fundraisers to raise money for extra fluff (door prizes, drink tickets, etc.)
We need to get back to Reunion Specialists by next week so that we can finally secure a date and location for this once-in-a-lifetime event. (I keep emphasizing "once-in-a-lifetime" because it really is. We'll never get our 10 yrs back, just like we'll never get our high school days back.) One thing you will get back, however, is your time capsule from 1999. :)
So, here's what we need from you. Please respond to this bulletin NO LATER THAN Wednesday, APRIL 15th, with your preference (option a, b, or c).
Once we receive your responses, we'll talk with a few of our other committee people and finally commit to a date/venue. We want to get that information out to you ASAP so that the out-of-towners can make appropriate arrangements and so that all of us can begin saving (times are tough, we know that.) ;)
Looking forward to hearing from each of you! Thanks again!

Just want you guys to know that we are now in the process of getting all of 99's address labels to Reunion Specialists. Now here's the thing. The labels we received from the Morse registrar has your address from where you were living in 1999 (obviously.) So, if you've moved since and/or you no longer have any relatives living in that household address, please contact us ASAP with your updated address. Otherwise, someone else is going to receive your invitation to this once in a lifetime event. As for the date, expect it to be in the Fall/Winter of this year (hopefully Fall...we know that the holidays can get busy and expensive.) Also, we've already checked out a couple of venues and are getting closer to securing a date. Keep checking in to view our updates. And again, send us your updated contact info PLEASE. Thanks!

Yo!
We need to know if anyone is getting married anytime this year so that we don't schedule our reunion on that day. We would hate to have our reunion on the same day and miss out on reuniting with some of you. To help us consider a date for this year, please get back with the following info:
1. What event will be taking place?
and
2. When will it take place?
We really appreciate all of you who have been responding to these bulletins. We picked up the class roll at Morse last week and we have about 600 graduates from our class. We were informed that the past few reunions from Morse haven't had the greatest turn out rate. So we have to represent for our school and more importantly, our class! Help make it happen.
Thank you in advance!
