Have classmates send you trivia of themselves, particularly from the time when you were in school together. Also have them complete a questionnaire to find out about what they are doing now. From that you can create a game where you match the person's name with their piece of trivia, create a crossword puzzle, etc. Award prizes to whomever wins. Also, you could give out prizes for who traveled the furtherest to attend the reunion, who has the most children, who has been married the longest, etc. I don't know if any of this will help you. My class is so small I wouldn't have to get info. from other classmates. We have known each other since kindergarten. ... View related article.
If you decided not to do burgers or grilling, you could get a spiral cut (cooked) ham or turkey or deli beef or tuna salad or chicken salad and do sandwiches. Someone taught me a while ago that instead of getting regular full sized bread to get rolls from the backery. Then, the fixin's will last longer because the sandwiches are smaller. This works if you are having everyone bring something, too. Make sure you get the pot-luck part of it organized. You could end up like we did in my 10 year class reunion ... lots fried chicken and deviled eggs and nothing else. Ask folks what they would want to bring, put a sign up on the internet or assign a type of item (ie. salad, chips, etc) to folks whose last name starts with A-K ... or something like that.
And, it's no big deal that everyone in your class lives within 50 miles of each other. My entire class, with the exception of 4 of us, live within 20 miles of each other (maybe less). ... View related article.
