Various people are making wonderful contributions to the goal of a great turnout for our 40th reunion. But I am starting to think that the time is passing quickly and there are great many people we have not reached as yet. Is there some way that all of us who are trying to connect can unify our approach and become a little more strategic?
This blog has had 262 hits so far, according to the use statistics. This indicates to me that there is some interest in its content. Of course we cannot tell who those people are. Some may just be surfing the net for reunions in general terms. Nine people have taken a look since Susan’s post, and our best day ever was 2/6/08. That was the day I started posting the photos. That day we had over 40 visitors. We can only speculate what this means. I hope it means we are at least getting a few people to think about the experiences we shared in college and the opportunity our reunion presents.
I know that Joanie and Kathie have done lots of effective email communication for the Express class news, Pam at the Alumnae office needs Rhea and me to write a social letter that will go out this month through snail mail, and Wendy Hilty must be getting in touch with members of our class reagrding our class gift, though I have not heard from her as yet. Does anyone want to take up Susan’s challenge? Or are there other ideas for outreach to classmates? Maybe Rhea and I can pull it all together in the letter that goes out this month…but I know we are looking to tap the energy and imagination of classmates. Please let us know your thoughts here or at our email addresses.
