We need a few opinions and comments.
How long till the next Reunion? Yearly, 5 yearly, 10 yearly, no interest
What can you afford to spend? Less, Same, More than the 40th.
Do we have any volunteers for initial ideas? Name, Address, Email

I like the idea of every five years. To do it each year would be really tedious, and my not feel as special. I'm also for keeping the reunion local to Haddonfield, as our 40th was, as opposed to a "destination reunion" that may exclude many classmates.
Regarding helping out, while I'm not exactly next door (here in Connecticut), I'm just a keystroke away...so working on e-mailings, creating invitations, programs, etc. are a few things that I am more than happy to help with.
All the best to our classmembers. Ed

I'm all for a reunion every 5 years. We waited way too long the last time -- although it did make it a very special one. From what I've heard, those who were not able to make the 40th heard what a good time it was and planned to make the next one. I think where we had it was an ideal location -- easy access, ample parking, close proximity to Haddonfield... I have to tip my hat to Don Greinke for find the location all the way from Orlando. But, we do need local people to take care of the details. Don and I were lucky to get the locals involved. However, we can't always rely on the same people every time. Do you realize our last reunion was more than 1.5 years ago? We only have 3.5 years to put together a 45th. Ginger

It has been a while since anyone has actually entered anything on the class site. There have been a number of visits and at least one hacker (several times) but minimal known actual site use.
I agree with most of what you said although I think it is a bit early to actually do very much other than decide if we are aiming for 5 years and perhaps setting up a few volunteer leaders. We already have a lot more addresses than the last reunion had along with some other resurected info but there could perhaps be more added or at least updated. Sometime we should set up at least one full mailing/emailing asking for volunteers, opinions, revisions, pictures, and hoping for a few lost ones to show up. I assume Walt and I will end up doing mailings but would probably pass on data files for someone else to do the booklet and/or posters. The question now is when to start doing additional new mailings. At one time I had considered yearly mailings but with the great interest shown recently, I'm wondering if it is worth the effort although it might show us a few more bad addresses and newly lost people. There are a fair number of people that require paper mail and postage but we managed to fit it in the budget ($0.00) last time. Perhaps I should put a copy of this in the forum?!?!?!?

Every five years sounds good to me. Since I'm with in 90 minutes of Haddonfield I can help with some of the detail work.
