THE STATE OF REUNION

Have a high school reunion coming up? Are the events already planned? Here's a portion of a typical reunion program that we found on the internet.

OUR Master Of Ceremonies Will Be At The Bandstand With News And Announcements. Food And Beverages Will Be Provided By The American B-B-Q Company Activities Will Include: 
- Baskets To Shoot And Hula Hoops To Try In The Gym
- Old Videos Of Sports And Other School Events In The Cafeteria
1:00 Official Opening
Welcome To All By Reunion Chairman
2:00 To 4:00 Optional Visits To The Former High School Building
2:30 To 3:00 Chorus Rehearsal - Auditorium All Singers invited To Practice Favorite Songs 3:30 To 4:00 Choral Performance - Auditorium
4:00 Awarding Of Prizes At The Bandstand


Sounds like a lot of fun. Seeing old friends, catching up on all the news, reliving old times, telling each other that you haven’t changed a bit!…but what if there were one more activity planned? One more activity to share with classmates that could unify the class all over again? How about a social service project in the community?

Working with the high school in advance of the festivities, the reunion committees could find, say, a local school in need of a fresh coat of paint—maybe it’s even your school that needs a little help. Or maybe there’s a park or beach in need of trash pick up. A senior center in need of readers. A soup kitchen in need of a can drive. Hey—the old glee club might want to head out to a senior center for their sing-a-long.

Remember how in high school you and your pals were going to change the world? Now's your chance to do it together after all these years.
