Reunion is good time to contact classmates. Committee members might find out what classmates would like to see more (or less) of through classletters, regional events, and Reunions. They can encourage less active classmates to write and participate. They can get a sense of what the class as a whole is thinking about, and, in turn, make that a subject for subsequent classletters or Reunion events. It's also a good opportunity to identify any classmates who might want to volunteer in some other way. When contacting classmates about Reunion, class committee members should do the following:
- Review the dates for Reunion.
- Encourage classmates to attend Reunion and to register ahead of time.
- If the class is part of a Reunion cluster, state which other classes are included.
- Promote Reunion giving.
- Urge classmates to call their friends and encourage them to attend.
- Review program highlights for the weekend.
- Direct them to the Reunion website (link) for updates on Reunion and attendance.
There are a couple of things for committee members to do very soon after Reunion.
- Ask classmates what they enjoyed about Reunion and what was less enjoyable for them. It may be useful to write these things down to assist in future Reunion planning. (It can be a long time between reunions!)
- Submit a note to the class agent for a follow-up classletter that details what happened at Reunion, thanking classmates who participated and volunteered (handwritten thank-you notes are also a nice touch), and encouraging people to start thinking about their next reunion.
