Tickets

Ticket prices are being determined for both events at this time to cover all the expenses of the family picnic and the party. There will be a payment option and also an address for those who want to pay by check. All checks will be paid to the order of: Highland HS 1998 Class Reunion Fund.
All this information will be available once e-vites are sent out via classmates.com. As of right now the cost for both events may be around $60-$70 per person... but that is a just a rough guess. I am still talking with the caterer about food choices, and figuring out cost per person, plus additional costs such as the space, decorations, rentals, picnic activities (such as bounce houses, and other activities). Children will be free. Both events will be charged separately, so the picnic may be around $25 per person, and the evening event will be around $35. (All of these numbers may not be accurate, but just to give everyone an idea of what to expect).

I also would appreciate some feedback on how this pricing sounds for everyone?? I do not want people not attending because price of tickets is an issue, but everyone needs to keep in mind that there are costs to throwing a large gathering.

One idea I had that I may need assistance with because I am not living in Poky, is to get sponsors for the party. I know people living in Idaho are more familiar than I am with businesses in town and who is in charge of them. It might be nice to get a few sponsors to donate prizes for raffle drawings, or to let them pay $25-$50 to have a sign with their name on it in the middle of a table. It is just an idea I saw that other reunions do. If anyone is willing to help, let me know, and we can get on it! My personal email address is bdueling@yahoo.com, so if anyone has any questions or wants to be on a committee let me know...because I can definitely find something for you to help me with!
Take care! Brooke
