Celebrate Your Classmates' Collective Birthdays in Between Reunions
Looking for a good excuse to get a mini-reunion going? Celebrate your classmates' collective birthdays! This is not something to do every year, but rather try it the year you all have a significant birthday: 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 years old. Don't wait for a major reunion, choose a location that will hold about 10% of your class. In my case, from a class of 600, I expect 60 to show up. No formal hotel facilities are necessary. Just book a nice restaurant with a room big enough to hold all of you and serve a nice buffet with a cash bar. If you have a smaller class than mine, then just meet at a favorite pub. The class before ours had great success meeting in the summer at a lakeside restaurant. The sounds of lapping water and reflections of moonlight make for a magical setting that requires nothing but the company of friends. Don't fuss with decorations, djs , a photographer, or videographer - unless you want to. People will shoot with their phones and upload them to Facebook .
