We got into the gym and we just kinda got a little sad cause it brought back so many memories, we even sung the fight song haha, and thats when we begin to work on Stephanie lynch to do it at reunion.

QUESTIONS/ANSWERS:
Q: Can I still go to reunion if I did not graduate? A: YES! Reunion is not about just who graduated, it's about seeing the friends you went to high school with. Anyone can attend.
Q: I don't have the money right now, can I reserve a spot so they are not all gone? A: For a $20 first payment you can now reserve a ticket - see buy tickets tab for more details.
Q: I can't afford to purchase a ticket but I really want to go, is there any way I can go at no charge. A: We have one spot left for someone to assist us with working at the reunion a little in exchange for a ticket. memefromdablock@aol.com
Q: Can I bring more than one date, since my friends are traveling with me? A: Yes you may purchase more than 2 tickets but you are reponsible for the behavior of those you bring. Anyone causing trouble at reunion will be asked to leave with no refund.
Q: Can I pay at the door? A: No, sorry there can be no paying at the door. We have to let the hotel know in advance our final count and have all the money in.
Q: Can I do something non-conventional or special at the reunion? A: In most cases yes, but you must let us know ahead of time to put you in a time slot.
Q: I don't want to go unless my friends are going and I don't see them registered does that mean they are not going? A: Absolutely not. I have the district office list I am sending mailings out to, people leave me messages on my cell phone, at the district office, in the mail, and through email and so I have an entirely different list of contact information. In fact most of those that purchased tickets already are not registerd on the website.
