Why Go To Our Reunion?

You'll laugh, cry and reminisce with some of your oldest friends.
You don't have to lie about your age.
You'll feel better realizing you are not the only one who has been married, divorced, married, divorced and/or is still looking.
For the alumni coming to their first reunion, let's make them feel appreciated for finally showing up.
Rekindle old or begin new relationships.
Expand your networking opportunities.
Enjoy an evening out without the kids, or grand kids, as the case may be.
Use this as an excuse to diet and shape up.
Humor the committee, we are a deluded bunch of diehards who think everyone should show up to appreciate all our efforts.
Studies have shown that those who were initially hesitant about attending their reunions, discover it was an event they wouldn't have missed!

I'm overweight.
Rebuttal: You're not alone. Note t-shirt sizes being offered.
I'm a different person than I was in high school
Rebuttal: Lucky for you, we ALL are. Let's face it: we could only have improved.
I don't look as good as I'd like. I (choose one or more) am bald, have wrinkles, saddlebags, grey hair and no one will recognize me.
Rebuttal: Guess what! You won't recognize anyone else, either. Using the reunion committee as a representative sample, our whole class looks like a "before" photo in a plastic surgery ad.
I'm not successful. I'm not (choose one or more) a lawyer, a doctor or rich.
Rebuttal: You'll be pleasantly surprised to find how much everyone has matured. We may be plump and wrinkled (see Excuse #3, above) but we're not stupid. Money is not success.
I was not in a popular clique in school
Rebuttal: Now that we're old and smart, those cliques have dissolved just like the superficialities they were based on. The only cliques you'll notice at the reunion will be the sound of your joints as you walk around.
