Reunions With Class is a reunion management company that specializes entirely in the planning of high school class reunions. We are experts that can help you plan, organize, and run your reunion from start to finish. As most people discover, conducting a successful reunion can easily take hundreds of hours of planning and preparation, not to mention thousands of dollars in upfront costs. Reunions With Class will dramatically reduce the time and effort needed to plan your reunion. From locating all your classmates, to assuming all financial responsibilities, to mailing invitations, Reunions With Class provides the most comprehensive reunion services available. As your advocate, we will negotiate the best pricing with the venues, catering and entertainment. You can be as involved as much as you like, and we will work with you to create the best package for your reunion. Your Account Manager will work with you directly from day one through the entire reunion planning process. How far in advance should we start planning the reunion? From the day we begin working together, we recommend planning for a reunion 6-12 months later. This provides us enough time to receive your materials, secure a venue, locate your classmates and notify them 3 times. This will allow your classmates to make the proper travel arrangements, thereby maximizing attendance at your reunion. Reunions With Class can produce a reunion on shorter notice depending on various circumstances, however we recommend that you get started as early as possible to get your date and location - they book up quickly. What financial risk does the reunion committee have? Reunions With Class assumes the financial risk for the reunion. We are responsible for all the bills and upfront costs of the reunion. To engage our services, the committee makes a $500 deposit to secure our services. This deposit is designed to be returned to the committee once the attendance goals are achieved, therefore costing the committee nothing to hire us. How is the ticket price determined? The ticket price has four main components. A significant factor is the cost of the facility where you will hold the reunion. The nicer places simply cost more. Another factor is the meal you will be served. Again, that amount goes to the facility where the reunion will be held, often a hotel or catering company. A third portion of the ticket price goes to cover other expenses at the reunion. These items include: decorations, event staff, memory book, and DJ or other entertainment. A final portion of the ticket price covers all the other expenses related to putting on a reunion. These expenses include: data entry, classmate location, multiple mailings/printings, insurance, merchant fees, website management and customer service. How do we locate all our classmates? Reunions With Class will locate your classmates for you. We have access to a sophisticated, comprehensive, and up-to-date database containing names and addresses of nearly everyone with a public address. With an active reunion committee we will contact 80-90% of your classmates in some form or fashion: direct mail, e-mail, website, newspaper, radio, family, friends, school, etc. What is the reunion committee responsible for? Your class reunion committee members can be involved as much or as little as they want to be. While Reunions With Class is completely capable of handling all the tasks involved in conducting a reunion, statistics show the more involved the committee is, the better the attendance at the reunion. The committee’s role is to enthusiastically promote the reunion during the planning phase and extend personal invitations to attend when contacting classmates. For the reunion night itself, we recommend your committee put together a simple program for the evening along with memorabilia from your high school years. Who chooses where the reunion is located? Your reunion committee for your class will make this decision. Reunions With Class will assist them in making the decision, including identifying a variety of locations to consider and the associated pricing. Why should we use Reunions With Class? This is discussed in detail in the Why Choose Us section. How do I get started working with you? Contact us! We need to collect a few items from you that will help us create a comprehensive database of your classmates and spend some time with you to figure out your vision for your reunion. We have a Getting Started packet we will send you that makes it easy to begin. We certainly look forward to working with you on your reunion!     |
