Update

Hey Everyone,
I have had a lot of inquiries about the reunion lately so I thought I would send out a mass email updating everyone on our progress. As of right now the plan is to have a reunion as an open house out at Tricia's mom's house. There is a lot of parking and plenty of room for everyone to hang out there. We plan on keeping things pretty low key and casual. Thank you to everyone who has offered up suggestions, if anything falls through we may be contacting you later. We are also planning on having the reunion Saturday afternoon the week of street fair. The thinking behind this is that a lot of people come into town that week for street fair anyway so it will get more people to the reunion than the 5 year. We are planning for the afternoon that way people can come and go as they please, if people are having a good time they can stay late into the night, if people want to go up to the fair after a while they can, or if people want to go throughout the night, they can too. I hope this isn't too long and rambling, but just throwing the ideas out to everyone. This will again be low key, we are planning on having pop and a keg to drink, we are likely going to have some finger food and people are welcome to bring any food and drink they wish. We will be able to hammer out more details about cost and food and drink later. As of right now, all food and drink will be provided on a voluntary basis so we are not planning on having much cost if any per person. We will likely take donations or something to begin a fund for the 15 or 20 year depending on what people's interest is for that at the time and also take names and addresses for anyone willing to help out with the planning for that. I will be collecting addresses and sending out invitations toward the end of summer. If there are any other questions, I will do my best to answer them. I look forward to seeing you guys in a few months.

Thanks,
Karena

Catching Up

10 years is fast approaching. We are trying to finalize plans for the reunion this year. Right now we are looking at having a relatively casual get together in September (the weekend of Street Fair) likely at someone's home (to be determined shortly) with a barbecue or carry-in or something of that nature. We figure this will be cheaper and there will be fewer regulations on food and drink. In the meantime I have decided to make a post to try and get some open dialogue going with classmates. Have fun with it, and fill out the following questionnaire.
1. Name
2. Married, engaged, taken, single, divorced
4. Spouse/Significant Other Name
3. Kids, names and ages
4. Occupation
5. Location
6. Most exciting thing to happen since graduation
7. College(s) attended
8. Degree(s) obtained
9. Are you where you expected to be at our 10 year mark? Explain.
10. What would your ideal 10 year reunion be?
11. Do you anticipate attending our 10 year?
12. Where do you see yourself in another 10 years?
13. Best high school memory?
14. Biggest regret in high school?
15. Favorite teacher?

Have fun with your answers, it is just a way for us to try to reconnect with each other after 10 years, more to come as we figure more things out! Thanks!

Welcome

Welcome Bluffton High School Class of 1999! We are fast approaching our 10 year class reunion, so this blog was created to keep everyone up to date on not only how reunion plans are shaping up, but also as a way to keep in touch with everyone we graduated with. More information will follow later. Many of our class have been keeping in contact through facebook, and others through Myspace, but hopefully this will become a central location for everyone to go for information. In the upcoming months, I would like to begin to gather demographic information on everyone so we can all catch up on what everyone has been doing the last 10 years, since more than likely everyone will not be able to attend the actual reunion. If anyone has ideas on time or place for the reunion next year, we are welcoming suggestions. Hope to get this up and running soon!
