IMPORTANT! Reunion info

***PLEASE BEAR WITH ME AND READ THIS ENTIRE NOTE***

All,

While the Facebook group we recently set up isn't the official RSVP mechanism for the much-anticipated 10-year reunion, it is a good way to get the word out. Please start checking in on this site from time to time for new info. You'll be receiving a formal email invitation with additional instructions in the next few weeks, but here's a quick summary of some important information.

* The reunion will be held in St. George during the first weekend in August. On Friday, Aug. 6, we will meet at Green Springs Park (near PVHS) for a BBQ. This will be low-key, kids invited. On Saturday, Aug. 7, we will meet at the PV commons for a slightly less casual event. There will be food and plenty of fun stuff (and maybe a few surprises).

* We're tried very hard to keep the cost down in light of the difficult economic times. I will let everyone know about the payment process by the first week of June (still formalizing a few things — we're an IRS-recognized NPO!). We're arranging for a Paypal account so you can pay via credit card, or we'll be able to take checks. Here's how the payment schedule will work (cost covers both days):

- If you pay before the priority deadline (July 4), it will be $15 per person.
- If you pay during the RSVP deadline (July 5-July 31), it will be $18 per person.
- If you pay after the RSVP deadline or at the door, it will be $25 per person.
- Meal tickets for kids can be purchased at the door Friday for $1 per item (burger or dog, plus all the sides they want) and the ticket will go into a raffle for a prize.

Obviously, you can see that we're trying to dissuade people from paying after the RSVP deadline because it creates a logistical mess for us with ordering food, etc. RSVP early and you'll get a great deal for two days of unforgettable fun!

* We will also have some "unofficial" activities, such as hiking the Zion Subway, screening party of old HS assemblies and events, massive toilet-papering spree, etc.

* We'll be doing official reunion communication via email. We're trying to aggregate everyone's addresses on a Google document we set up. I have been giving classmates permission to access the sheet so they make make sure their info is current and add info for anyone they know. If you don't have access to the spreadsheet, please email me at brad.plothow@gmail.com

* Please tell all your friends, especially those who aren't on Facebook. We want this to be a really well-attended reunion. We're planning our guts out, so please attend. Seriously, what else do you have going on that's more important than a once-in-a-decade reunion with old friends?

*More info forthcoming!
