The Reunion Team sent out two surveys and received almost 200 responses from the class. The surveys were very useful to gauge your feelings about reunion plans such as food, drinks, music and most importantly how many of you plan to attend and perhaps bring a guest.
Here is an aggregated summary of the comments people included in their responses. If someone responded as a MAYBE on attending, we asked what would encourage or discourage attending.
- My health in October 2021!
- It’s two years away… difficult to plan anything that far ahead
- Can’t commit this far out
- Live out of state (common response)
- Depends on my schedule then
- Need to know the actual date
- Depends on weekend & month of reunion
- More likely if I know who else was attending
- The venue
- Hold it in central Jersey
- Cost (especially if I considered bring my spouse)
- Total cost including travel and hotel
- Travel distance – I would prefer less than 25 miles from home
- Need it to be in or very near a hotel
- Can we get a tour of IHS?
- I would want it to be less formal (no open bar, no sitdown dinner, casual dress etc.)
- Have a DJ or recorded music & music from our high school years (no band)
- What about a dinner cruise on the Hudson?
- Make sure there are name tags with yearbook photos
- I’d like to see semi-formal dress code.
- Plan for people coming in the night before get together and even the morning after
I thought # 13 was funny. I’m doing 700+ miles, others are coming in from further away. I’ll even pick someone up. The IHS tour idea is really good as well.
