ONE WEEK.

We've warned you about this.  You have one week.  One week to buy your admission for $30.  Starting next Sunday, June 17th, the price is going up.  Now, we know what you're thinking..."How much?".  Here's where it gets rough.  It'll be $40 per person.  So buy your admission by Saturday. 

That's all.

Tids & Bits

Hey Everyone!

Hope you all had a fun & relaxing Memorial Day Weekend!  The reunion is getting closer & closer, so we wanted to check in and let you all in on a few things:

  • The price for admission will be going up!  More details on the new price will be released next week, but if you're looking to save some bucks, you'd better buy now!
  • Another reason to buy your admission -- we can plan a better event if more people buy sooner.  We'll have a better guage on the attendance, overall event budget, and we'll be able to increase the space for the event if we need.
  • WE NEED PHOTOS!!  Per expectation, there will be a photo slideshow!  Send us your photos, in JPG format, a quick note about who's in the photos, and we'll get it in the reel.  reynolds02reunion@gmail.com
  • Are you a small business owner?  Would you like to promote your business and help us with the reunion??  We're looking to raffle off goods & services of businesses owned by RHS Alums!  Again, send us an email letting us know a little bit about your business and what you'd like to donate for the raffle.
  • Finally, a quick note on the touchy subject of money, skrilla, moo-la, benjamins...it cannot be said enough that we are not looking to make any sort of "profit" on the reunion.  A couple of generous classmates have helped to fund the deposit for the venue, and once they are reimbursed, and the rest of the reunion expenses are paid, any leftover funds will be DONATED to the MILLAR SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION.  See more about the scholarship here:  http://smithmemorialpres.org/Home/MillarScholarshipavailable.aspx.  All scholarships are awarded to a graduate of Reynolds High School who lacks the financial means to attend a university.
Please contact us at reynolds02reunion@gmail.com if you have questions, concerns, or suggestions!  We're looking forward to catching up with all of you in a couple of months!

Tickets? We're not selling no tickets...

Technically speaking, no, we're not selling tickets.  We're not going to have "will call" or send you anything in the mail (stamps cost $0.44 these days -- that adds up, and we're on a budget).  But we are selling admission to the Class of '02 Reunion.  Beginning this Saturday, February 11th, you'll be able to log on to this here site and click the link on the right over there, "BUY ADMISSION" and actually, really, get yourself hooked up to be at the event of the summer.

It'll probably be up & running sometime mid-day or in the afternoon.  Keep checking your Facebook feed for the update and click on over here to BUY BUY BUY! 

Yes, we'll be giving you incentive to buy early, too (we got bills to pay and need your $$)!

See you all on Saturday!

It'll be Grand!

Well, well, well....today's big announcement is the location of our soiree! Before we get to the big reveal -- we want to let you know that your reunion planning committee did a thorough review of venues in the Portland Metro and East County areas. Key factors in considering a venue were first and foremost, COST, followed by capacity (and the flexibility to adjust the space up or down based on attendance), accomodations & amenities, and accessibility (parking & location).

So, now that the deposit's been paid -- we are happy to announce that the Reynolds High School Class of 2002 Reunion will be held at...


GRAND CENTRAL BOWL

Located at SE 8th and Morrison, Grand Central offers easy access from the Troutdale/Gresham area and from Downtown Portland. There are lots of dinner options nearby, as well as accomodations for those of you coming from out of town or just looking to have a night away from home.

We'll have most of the mezzanine level reserved -- and, if we sell enough tickets, we could opt to reserve the entire mezzanine! The other bonus? Grand Central has a house DJ spinning tunes every Saturday beginning at 9:30pm. So, just because the "official" party is over, doesn't mean you have to go home!

So, here's what you need to know:
When: Saturday, July 21st 2012, 7-10pm
Where: Grand Central Bowl, SE 8th and Morrison, Portland

Check back next week for details on admission!
