Preparing for the Reunion - Checklist

Just to help everyone get in the reunion spirit and prepare for the fun filled evening ... we are compiling a little check list to make sure you've got all the reunion news updates in one quick place


1.) PURCHASE REUNION TICKETS

Have you bought your ticket yet?


  • Tickets need to be purchased in advance and will NOT be sold at the door.  This is the LAST week to get tickets, so don't forget.
  • Follow this link to get your reunion tickets now!
          CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS


2.) CONSIDER DONATING A GIFT BASKET

Have you offered to donate a gift basket to the Chinese Auction?


  • In order to raise money for future reunions and lower future ticket prices, have better entertainment, etc, we are getting donations for a Chinese Auction.  Tickets will be sold at the reunion door and classmates can place a raffle ticket in jars for baskets they'd like to win.  All funds will go towards future reunions
  • If you can donate a gift basket, please email us at latrobewildcats2003@gmail.com - you can either drop it off at the reunion or it can be dropped off at the Latrobe Skating Center at business hours or arranged to be picked up at a location convenient for you.

3.) CONSIDER DONATING COOKIES
Have you offered to bake any cookies for the cookie table?

  • In true western PA fashion, no major event would be complete without a cookie table.  In order to give all classmates a delicious and traditional after dinner treat, we depend on classmate donations in order to make our cookie table successful!
  • If you can bake any cookies or treats to donate for the cookie table, please email us at latrobewildcats2003@gmail.com - you can either drop off cookies at the reunion or they can be dropped off at the Latrobe Skating Center during business hours to Ashlee Erny or arranged to be picked up at a location convenient for you.

4.) TAKE THE REUNION DINNER SURVEY
Are you coming to the reunion and care about the food? 
Let us know your preferences.

  • In order to make the most people we can happy, we created a reunion dinner buffet survey to narrow down the possible choices for the all-you-can-eat buffet menu.   Just take a few minutes to put in your votes, so we can make sure we select the food the majority of people like
  • Follow this link to the survey

5.) FILL OUT THE REUNION SUPERLATIVES
Do you know some classmates who truly deserve some recognition?  
Then, nominate them!

  • In order to have a little fun and get more people involved in the reunion as well as recognize our fellow classmates and friends, we created some fun reunion superlatives categories.  Please take a minute to nominate your classmates or yourself for each category
  • Please follow the link to the blog post with all the categories - and has the instructions for nominating individuals.  You don't have to list people for every category, but try your best!  Send your nominations to our class email - latrobewildcats2003@gmail.com


6.) SEND IN OLD PICTURES FOR THE MEMORY SLIDESHOW
Do you have great pictures of classmates you can submit? 

  • In order to have a great and representative memory slideshow, we need pictures from all groups of classmates.  We would love submissions from Senior prom, graduation, sporting events, also after graduation events - such us weddings, showers, college and events that are comprised of Latrobe 2003 classmates.
  • If everyone could submit between 5-10 pictures, we'd have a great selection.  There is NO limit how many you submit, and we will do our best to include all of them!  Please email them to latrobewildcats2003@gmail.com


7.) VOLUNTEER TO HELP WITH THE 'IN MEMORY OF' MEMORIAL TABLE
We have sadly lost too many classmates, and we'd like to recognize them.  
Can you help?

  • We are creating a memory table display at the reunion to reflect upon those lives of classmates we have lost.  In order to do them justice, we need volunteers to make a representative display. If you were close to one of those lost, and can offer pictures, memories, quotes, please volunteer to create a poster board display for the reunion.
  • For more information regarding this, please see the original blog post, and contact the appropriate point people. 


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Remember - we are offering incentives for those who volunteer!  As you know, we will be having a Chinese Auction AND a 50/50 Raffle at the reunion to raise funds for future reunions.  In order to get more people interested in donating a gift basket or making cookies or submitting photos for the slideshow, we are offering FREE BONUS raffle tickets for the Chinese auction and the 50/50 Raffle to those who participate.  Please follow the link below to the original blog post regarding incentives to help out with the reunion!



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lastly, don't forget --- here is just some things to remember on the day of the reunion!

NO PHYSICAL TICKETS are NECESSARY for ENTRY!
WE have a master list with everyone's name who has paid and whether they get a drink wristband.

You will have paid for all your food (and drinks, if you purchased a drink ticket) - so no additional money is necessary.  However, for the 50/50 raffle and the Chinese Auction - raffle tickets will be for sale, cash only.  It would be good to bring between $5-$50 in cash, depending on how many raffle tickets and 50/50 tickets you might plan on purchasing that evening.

So, do please remember to bring some CASH to partake in the reunion Chinese Auction and 50/50 raffle.  Proceeds will all be used for future reunions!  Therefore, you will get a chance to win prizes or money all well helping us with a little fundraising efforts.

THINGS TO REMEMBER - NIGHT OF REUNION:

-ID (we know you are of age, but their bartender may still wish to request it to verify)
-CASH (for Chinese Auction and 50/50 Raffle tickets)
-CAMERA (to capture all the memories with old friends)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We look forward to seeing everyone soon!  
Just 10 more days til the celebration!!!
