WHAT ELSE? Go to the Great Reunions website NOW and write up your biography ("Bio Book") of the last 45 years to be included in our complementary (with each paid ticket) reunion book that will be distributed AT the reunion for free to all attendees, along with uploading or sending in a current photo. However, since it is impossible to guess the number of people who will pay at the door, their bio books will be mailed approximately one week after the reunion. THIS IS THE ONLY FREE BOOK WHICH WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO ANYONE, SO THE MORE PEOPLE WHO WRITE UP THEIR BIOGRAPHY AND UPLOAD A PHOTO, THE BETTER IT WILL BE!!! IF YOU DO NOT PROVIDE BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION TO GREAT REUNIONS, YOU WILL NOT BE IN THE MEMORY BOOK!!!
(This book will be available for free to attendees. It will be available for sale to non-attendee classmates only after the reunion.) With a sufficient number of attendees, a photographer will take photos at the reunion of attendees and candid shots during the reunion, and a book of those photos will be available FOR SALE following the reunion to all classmates. HOWEVER, in case we don't have a large enough crowd, the only photos that are guaranteed to be available will be those provided to Great Reunions ahead of time in the BIO BOOK.
RAFFLE !!! Please know that there was no pad in the cost of the Reunion ticket price for door prizes, favors or anything extra. All of this will be coming out of someone's pocket. To defray costs, we will be selling raffle tickets during the reunion for raffle prizes, so please plan on supporting the classmates who are making this reunion possible at that time. CALLING FOR RAFFLE PRIZE DONATIONS: Ideas - gift cards, services that can be used from out of state, wine, dinner coupons for a nationally available restaurant, gift baskets, etc. Please put on your thinking caps and lets have some really creative prizes to give away! (One of our classmates has already committed to providing a framed professional-quality photo!!!) ANYTHING YOU DONATE MUST BE TRANSPORTABLE ON A PLANE!!!!!! Please contact Anne with your raffle prize commitment so she knows ahead of time what will be available!!! *********SGHS1967@gmail.com*********(without the stars)
