REASONS TO ATTEND OUR REUNION

Reason's to Attend Our 50th Reunion

So you’ve finally received the information that is inviting you to reunite with your former friends from high school after 50 long, and hopefully maturing, years. It’s likely that you probably haven’t even thought about this occasion until you created your profile on this website. It’s even more feasible that you’re shaking your head in disbelief that our 50 year reunion is forthcoming. After all, it seems like just yesterday you were drinking your first beer or having your first real kiss, both of which probably took place during those formidable school years.

Now that our high school reunion is approaching, there’s much to plan. Of course, first and foremost, you’ll need to decide if you want to attend. Do you really want to spend an evening with a group of people you haven’t seen or talked to in so long? Regardless of your current status, rich or poor, married or single, there will be a great deal of effort and apprehension that will come with attending our high school reunion. We’ve compiled a lengthy list to help you see the opportunities that may present themselves at our 50 year high school reunion.

Reasons YOU SHOULD GO to Our High School Reunion:

  • There’s at least one person that will break out old dance moves like The Mash Potato or The Twist. You’ll find both nostalgic and comedic value in this display.
  • The main attraction of our reunion is the people.
  • This is the one time in your life that it’s perfectly acceptable (and probably safe) to bend the truth in your favor. For one night, it gives you a chance to dust off your acting skills as you get to pretend that you actually became the professional baseball playing, millionaire, life-saving doctor, and spy that you always wanted to be.
  • You might not have lost the 20 pounds you had as a goal and you may still be driving the same old car but you can check off going to your high school reunion and that, if nothing else is an achievement.
  • If you don’t show up we’ll assume you still have a flat top.
  • Because all the former nerds are now a great catch!
  • Because you’re dying for an excuse to come back to Fort Wayne.
  • Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name.
  • Because let's face it, most of you were just going to stay home, open a bag of chips, and watch TV all night anyway.
  • If you don’t attend, you will be talked about. People will have to imagine reasons for your absence. "I heard they overdid his hair transplant and he looks like Don King" or "I heard she got so much Botox, she can’t laugh, cry, blink or stop smiling."
  • Grand Moms & Dads- You get to show off all your pics of the Grandkids.
  • To see how many guys are wearing fake hair pieces.
  • So you can stop lurking on everyone's profile and talk with them in real life instead.
  • To relive the glory days of 1964: we were younger, thinner, better looking, and worry-free!
  • 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 is still looking.
  • You can finally learn how to use your phone’s camera so you can take pictures of classmates.
  • You’ll have a chance to make those alumni feel fully appreciated for finally showing up to one of our reunions.
  • Rekindle or begin new relationships.
  • Bad experiences in high school? Don’t fret about it.  You’ll most likely laugh about it now.
  • Enjoy some time away from the grandkids.
  • Use the reunion as an opportunity to diet and shape up.
  • Studies have shown that those who were initially hesitant about attending their reunions discover it was the event they wouldn’t have missed!
  • Humor the committee; they usually are a bunch of deluded diehards who think EVERYONE should show up to appreciate all their efforts.
  • The most important reason to attend reunion is to get Nancee to stop emailing you!!!
  • There’s no denying that some will have physically changed a great deal, but we’re still the same people who shared a similar experience 50 years ago. Everyone will be a bit older and wiser, but the one universal theme will be discovery of different people with older (better) faces. Folks you never really knew in high school may become friends for life. New stories will be exchanged and old feelings may still exist, but all and all it will be a great opportunity to reflect on your current happiness and forget about those former grudges. There’s no better reason to shed a few pounds, buy a new outfit and remember old times while making new memories!

Begin making your plans now - we want to see you there to join in the fun, frolic, and festivities of Reunion 2014!

Hope to see you all there!
