More info on reunion

Hey guys and gals! I need EVERYONE'S help. So many of you have already offered your help and believe me, I will take you all up on it at some point here! From all of you, I need CURRENT names, addresses, emails and phone numbers of all classmates that you know. I am in the works with the reception hall and entertainment as of this morning and the dates we are working with for the reunion are either Nov. 8 or Nov. 22. I am shooting for Nov. 8 but will know by today if that has to change to the 22. I want to save postage costs so I want as many much info on people that I can. What I need those of you to do that know you will be attending the reunion regardless, I am asking for $40.00 a couple ($20.00 if you are coming alone). I need to get the money ASAP to place deposits for the hall, the entertainment, and postage and meal deposit. To all of you, we are strongly hoping for at the very least, 60 couples to be able to cover everything! We were unfortunate to have small turnouts for the 5 and 10 year reunions but I am determined to get as many people as possible. We spent what, 13 YEARS of our lives together, I think we owe it to ourselves to keep in touch! Please as soon as you read this, get me the info that you can, it would be greatly appreciated! I also do not know alot of your married names to the girls, so I apologize in advance if you are addressed as your maiden name! I want everyone's address, email and phone number if possible. If you plan to attend, please send your money (checks are totally fine, since we don't want to send cash in the mail) either $40 for two of you or $20 if you are coming yourself and send it to me at Chasity Armstrong

once I get your money, I will check you off the list as paid and I will send you the information on the reunion. Also, when you send your money, please include on a piece of paper your full name (with maiden name also for girls), your spouse's name, children's names and ages, where you live, your occupation and your phone number and email. I would like to put something together for future reunions. Also, include any pictures from high school that you may have, I would like to put together a slide show. Put your name on the back of the pictures so that I can get them back to you. That should do it for now...but keep checking facebook for more details. I realize that with the price of gas nowadays and commitments that you all may have that you may disregard this reunion, but I ask of all of you, lets make this memorable, try as hard as you can to be a part of this reunion - THE MORE PEOPLE, THE MORE FUN! Also, we will not be able to accept people at the door. Unfortunately, if you haven't paid in advance, you will not be able to attend. I realize this sounds harsh but we have to have a final head count for the meal and there will be no extra meals prepared because of the cost, and the cost of the hall and the entertainment needs to be paid in advance. So please remember that. Thanks all and hope to hear from you REAL SOON!
