WHY UNITE?
If you are NOT coming to the reunion, you need a good excuse and a note from your probation officer or whoever else keeps you out of trouble.
The following reasons have been tried and are UNacceptable.
Excuse #1: I've gained a lot of weight!
Rebuttal: Look around!! I doubt any of us could get back into our jeans from high school any more.
Excuse #2: I'm a different person than I was in high school
Rebuttal: Lucky for you, we ALL are. Let's face it; we could only have improved.
Excuse #3: I don't look as good as I'd like. I (choose one or more) am bald, have wrinkles, saddlebags, grey hair and no one will recognize me.
Rebuttal: Guess what! You won't recognize anyone else, either. Using the reunion committee as a representative sample, our whole class looks like a "before" photo in a plastic surgery ad.
Excuse #4: I'm not successful. I'm not (choose one or more) a lawyer, a doctor or rich.
Rebuttal: You'll be pleasantly surprised to find how much everyone has matured. We may be plump and wrinkled (see Excuse #3, above) but we're not stupid. Money is not success. Please note that any doctors in the class are very welcome. Any lawyers will need to ask for special permission to attend.
Excuse #5: I was not in a popular clique in school
Rebuttal: Now that we're older and smarter, those cliques have dissolved just like the superficialities they were based on. The only cliques you'll notice at the reunion will be the sound of your joints as you walk around.
Excuse #6: I don't know who to talk to or what to say
Rebuttal: Don't panic. No one know who they will talk to or what they will say. Somehow when you get there; it all falls into place, and again, the cash bar is always there to help.
Excuse #7: I don't like the location / format / food / emtertainment, etc. etc. etc.
Rebuttal: I think you may be missing the point. A reunion isn't about the place. It's about the people who attend. My new slogan is "It's not the menu or the venue. It's the people who show up"!
Excuse #8: It's too expensive
Rebuttal: This is one that's hard to argue. I agree. It is a lot of money; especially in these economic times we find ourselves in. The only thing I can tell you is that no one makes any money off this thing. There is the food, and the tax, and the gratuities. Before you know it; this budget is in the trillons, just like the bail-out. If there is any money left over (which I seriously doubt), it stays in the class account; not anybody's pocket. We are trying to get you the most bang for your buck; and trying to get as many people there as will show up. I especially feel for those who are traveling great distances to be here. They not only have the reunion ticket; but also travel and lodging expense as well. We have people coming from all over: California, Arizona, New Mexico, Arkansas, Texas, as well as the midwest and lots of other places. We're hoping you'll make it too!
OK, OK, I get it! The reunion is not for everyone and there are some people who just will not come. But I hope if you are on the fence, or are thinking about attending, maybe I have convinced you to show up and have a great time!
