Only a Few More Hours Till Early Registration is Up!

Hey Guys,
For the price of an overrated movie, you can travel back in time for a night! I really can't believe it has been ten years since we graduated high school, but it has. It's gone by so fast! Some days I feel too young to be considered an adult and other days I feel 50 years old. :)  There are only a few more hours to get the discounted price for the reunion tickets. It ends today! If you know you are coming anyway, you might as well get on and register today to save yourself a few bucks. It's super easy!

I know the reunion isn't a classy formal expensive dinner at the Ritz or anything, but lets face it, if it was, half of us wouldn't be able to afford it right now! (or is that just me????) Just come for a casual night with old friends to reminisce about the past and discuss the present.

I know I'm excited to see people!! I hope you are too.

A Little Reunion Humor...

With a reunion, there is always the chance of awkward moments. You may forget someones name or even see an old crush. Instead of being afraid of the awkwardness, embrace the humor in reunions. Because there is plenty of it to go around. :)

 

It's gonna be great to see everyone again! 

Be sure to register!

Procrastinators

To all of those procrastinators out there, it's time to Register.  I finally registered just now.  These past ten years have flown by and it will be fun to see everyone and find out what you all have been up to.  Just as fast as these ten years have gone, so is the time to register.  We are down to about 2 months until the reunion and before we know it, it will be here.  Help us contact those who haven't been and remind your friends to register.

I'll see you there.....

10 reasons why YOU should go to our reunion

Hi everyone, this is Liz (Jessop) Wortley. I’ve had a few people ask me some questions about the reunion: Are you going to the reunion? Why are you going to the reunion? Do you think it will be worth it?

Yes – I am going. I now live in Minnesota (random, I know), but am making the journey back home because I want to see people I haven’t seen in years AND I do think it will be worth it! I hope all of you will come too. That’s why I came up with 10 reasons why YOU should go to our 10-year reunion:

10. Good food (Cold Stone = best ice cream!)

9. The venue is sure to bring back memories (for better or for worse!)

8. You have questions, like does so-and-so still play the drums? Is it true that ____ and ____ hooked up? Whatever happened to what’s-his-bucket?

7. You might win some super-de-duper, neat-o prizes! For real – so far we already have a laser hair removal package and more.

6. Entertainment and music from back in the day – 2003 was a great year, wasn’t it?

5. You can’t beat the price – it’s cheaper than going to a movie AND is sure to be far more entertaining. And if you register by April 30, you’ll get the discount price.

4. Who knows when we’ll be throwing another one? Probably at least another 10 years!

3. You get to see all the people you stalk on Facebook. We are probably all guilty of this and know way too much about each other through social media. But seeing and talking to people in person is so much better.

2. It’ll be fun – when else can you go back in time, catch up with new and old friends, and laugh like a teenager?

1. You’re not a smelly/goober-nose/awkward teenager anymore. There’s nothing like being with people who knew you back when to make you feel grown-up, real and connected. We’ve all come a long way since high school. For example, I don’t have a brace-face anymore (I can’t believe I’m posting a picture of this.)

Anyone else have a bad/funny photo from high school they want to share? :)
