Hello All,
After a well-deserved break (he says modestly) I wanted to simply post and thank everyone on the planning team, as well as volunteers of all stripes who truly made the reunion a success. Everyone really worked hard to make certain that our alumni had a good time - and I heard only two complaints (centered around cost) out of everyone that attended the reunion.
The planning team on the whole is getting together again in September to finalize the finances. This is because we had several invoices that were going to take some time to complete.
- Community Use of Schools: While the team at Community Use was very helpful, unfortunately the security team they hired were not all so, and we ended up paying dearly for sub-par service. We have asked CUOS for a review of our security invoice - over $4,000 - before they finalize our account. This review is ongoing. We have the support of the school custodian and others - we are in good shape.
- Community Use of Schools: We have not yet received our security deposit (to cover damage to the school) of $500. No damage occurred during the weekend (phew!)
- Food: We had an agreement with some of the vendors to share costs for the reunion. This agreement required post-event negotiations around some points; these have now been completed and we are finalizing accounts with them.
These are the largest items, there are several smaller items, and remember: Everyone working on this is a volunteer!
The reunion was a fantastic success. Thank you to all who attended.
