50th Class Reunion Survey

E-Mail Survey Results

We recently conducted an e-mail survey of attendees at recent class reunions, asking them to identify important features, things that did not work so well, and what they might suggest for the reunion planning committee to consider for our 50th class reuniuon in 2010. Here is what our classmates said.

* Put high school graduation pictures on name badges.

* Make sure we have plenty of time to mingle and talk.
* A moderately long cocktail hour for moving around and mixing.
* Socializing and catching up with people.
* Visiting with friends

* Some might want to golf.

* Having a live band is not a priority for me.
* 50's music in the background would be nice.
* Music from the 50's and 60's



* Good food in a relaxed atmosphere helps.
* The casual theme works best. Let's be comfortable.

* Taking up a collection and making a donation to GHS or the community might be appropriate.

* How about a trivial pursuit game or other way to warm things up?
* Something that woould get everyone to meet with other people.
* Could we ask people to get up and share a memlorry of GHS?
* Give everyone a chance to acknowledge a special teacher.

* Hold the reunion in a resort location or out of state.
* The location should be attractive and accessible.


* Make it a weekend event, with maybe a group tour of the Gardnmer Museum, High School, or other point of interest.
* Communicate early and well in advance of the reunion.

* Give a report on classmates who can't be there.
