What does it take to be a “Committee Volunteer”? This position takes a lot of time and responsibility from the person who would assume this responsibility. Please make sure before you volunteer for this position that you have the time requirements to be a successful volunteer
Basically the function of the Committee volunteer is to work with the other committee members to take in all suggestions from our reunion members, spouses etc. Once this work is compiled they should review research and determine by a committee vote on what direction we should proceed in for each event of the reunion. I would suggest that this group is no smaller than 5 and at the most no larger than 11 members because the larger the group the harder it is to get a final vote decided on for what direction we should take for each event. Each Committee Volunteer should then volunteer to take a section of this work and with the assistance of the general volunteers that have offered to help us complete this task, and proceed with the goal of making this reunion a huge success.
I have taken a huge leap of faith and assumption that this suggested plan meets with everyone’s thinking. This is not written in stone and can be changed or amended by anyone in our reunion it is just merely a starting point to gather people and determine who is willing to offer what help. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this post and I look forward to seeing you at the reunion. Sincerely Ron Dickerson.

I would be delighted to help with the Friday night mixer. We need to set a date, which hopefully will be soon. I know dates fill up fast at hotels and dining areas.

Brenda there's lots of things that can be done with limited hearing. Your ability to physically get things done in the San Antonio area is invaluable. I can't help physically because I live too far away, so I need to help long-distance.
Unless someone has an objection, I will handle name tags as well as invitations. First off, I have to design an invitation and get approval from everyone before sending it to the printer. I would like to volunteer to print out the invitations myself, but I only have an inkjet printer, and the ink will smear. If it's going to be done in-house, it has to be done on a laser printer so the ink is permanent. Dawn Embrey told me that 300 invites went out at the last reunion, but there were only about 100 attendees. I am assuming we will be sending out another 300 or so, but not sure how many people will actually RSVP.
I have to get a list of addresses/phone numbers from the 20 year reunion as a starting point. Does anyone know where there might be a more current list of contacts for c/o 1983? I have to start hunting people down, which will involve Facebook surveys and searches on the internet. I will be the contact on the invitation, so I will be taking RSVPs, and getting spouse/guest names for name tags. About a week before the event, I will make the name tags. I will have blank name tags at the reunion for last-minute additions.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!! Thanks very much.

I think we need to make a announcement on fb and pass it through friends .Have Ron add a section on here for contact info that will be kept confidential among us that are arranging the reunion. or set up a email account just for reunion info that should not be shared with everyone. i believe this would be a good start as far as folks handing over personal info. Make this announcement and post contact. Give a cut off date. . We need to concentrate on a month/date. Hotels and venues change rates according to time of year. So to get a accurate price we need to settle the date issue
