We are looking for ideas. We've seen that as time goes on fewer people attend any reunion. A smaller attendance will have an effect on any reunion plans. This is just one of many considerations to reflect upon sooner rather than later.

We're interested in locating people who would like to share in the thinking process about a 40th reunion celebration, and need your input for questions like:

• Where and when might we have a reunion?
• What costs might be involved?
• What should we include in an on-line questionnaire to further the process?

So even though any reunion is several years away, it's probably not too soon to start in on the planning process. By sending a newsletter by email we're keeping costs way down. Hey, that's important too.

Roughly 60% to 80% of the email addresses we've got in our database are probably out of date. Those emails will bounce, and we'll know at that point how bad off we are when it comes to being in email contact with you.

As we move closer to the 40th anniversary of our high school graduation we'll be sending out these newsletters more frequently, and they'll have more information in them.

Having a valid email address is very important to us.
