It is worth noting that any reunion is successful if approximately 40% of classmates attend. Even though this number might seem small, it is more important that the event be a fun and memorable one.\nThe absolute first step of reunion planning is to evaluate if there is enough interest in holding one! There is no point in devoting 18 months of unnecessary planning if four people turn up; better off meeting for coffee!\nAssuming there is contact with past students and a positive response has been received; recruit help, form a committee, hold a planning meeting at least every eight weeks and keep everyone informed! Allow plenty of time, be mindful of the budget and be open to all suggestions.\nIf the reunion is for the early years, the timeline for planning the event could be from 12 to 18 months, due to the difficulty in finding ex-classmates and selecting an appropriate venue.\nSo, plan well, catch up with ‘old’ friends and, above all, have a great time.\nGood luck!\nNote:\nThe following guidelines represented an 18-month timeline for school year reunions and used in part for the 1962 Foundation Students Reunion in 2014.\nPlanning\n1.\tTo Begin:\nGetting in touch with the high school should be the priority in the planning of the reunion. It is important to:\nInform the school about the intentions to plan a year/class reunion.\nSee if other past students  have the same idea, then coordinate efforts.\nLeave contact numbers so former students’ names can be passed on.\nIf not already known, find out if the school can provide a list of names of the year/class.\nMake enquiries regarding placing an upcoming reunion on the school’s website or inclusion in the newsletter.\nFind out if there are any memorabilia or school banners available for the event.\nSee if any yearbooks are available for the year, either for sale on the night or loan.\nGet permission from the school before taking any photos in the school grounds, for any photographic displays.\nCheck with the school if there is to be a School Champion Award coinciding with the proposed reunion.\n\u000f\n2.\tThe Reunion Committee\nThe next task is to form a reunion committee. The number of potential members would depend upon the type of reunion being planned. A large group of volunteers would only be necessary for a school year reunion. The class reunion committee can be as little as one although not recommended.\nThe more diverse the group, the better the result! Potential volunteers who know their way around the computer/internet, budget planning and organising, help to keep costs down.\nIf there are classmates who are unable to devote time to a committee, but would like to be involved, ask them to consider helping on the night.\nSelect a date for the first committee meeting and prepare a preliminary budget. For further meetings, try to have an agenda and stick to it.\nNote:\tRefer to the timelines and keep to deadlines.\nCreate a computer file to manage all reunion matters such as searching for missing and deceased classmates, and RSVP’s.\nBreak the committee into smaller groups, to divide the workload.\nCommittee Leader:\nCoordinate committee\nDelegate tasks to certain members\nOrganise meetings\nTreasurer:\n(This position can easily be taken on by the Committee Leader)\nBudget\nCollection of monies\nPayments to vendors\nAlumni team:\nClassmates search\nUpdate to website (if accessible)\nMailings (email, post)\nInvitations\nPhoto collection\nGuests (teachers/school staff)\nIn Memoriam\nUpdate to classmates\nEvent Team:\nSelection of:\nVenue\nMenu\nDecorations\nDisplays\nCenterpieces\nGiveaways\nAwards\n&\nEntertainment\nSlideshow/DVD\nProgramme Booklet\nPhotographer\nOn-site planning\nMemory Books\nMemorabilia\nInformal events\nMementoes\n3.\tGetting the Word Out\nSearching for ex-classmates can be the single most time-consuming task if contact proves to be elusive.\nCreating a reunio","cbCaigYRLnmbzOIl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigYRLnmbzOIl","docx",37500,13,"English","# Introduction\n## Key success principle and planning rationale\n## Overview of the recommended timeline\n# Planning\n## To Begin\n## The Reunion Committee\n### Committee Leader\n### Treasurer (role guidance)\n### Alumni team\n### Event Team\n# Getting the Word Out\n## Contact strategies and reunion website\n# The Event\n## Venue and date considerations\n## Theme and milestones\n## Event formats and definitions\n## Decorations and memorabilia planning","[{\"question\":\"How should a reunion planning team decide whether to start planning?\",\"answer\":\"Evaluate if there is enough interest in holding a reunion first.
