This Site Comes With Music!

Updated Sunday, May 11, 2008

Welcome to the website for the Marion Harding High School class of 1983 25-year reunion!  We have a new website design - we hope you like it!  We are also trying out the premium features for a couple of months to see if they are worth the extra cost.  The premium features include:  the Message Board, Class Survey, Calendar, News Feeds, and larger classmate pictures.  Please check them out and give us your feedback.

As of this date, we have completed our attempt to contact all classmates - what a task to try to find 421 people!!  We now can report the following statistics:

1.) 77 classmates have added their information to the “classmates” page of this website.

2.) 10 classmates have posted information on the “guestbook” page or RSVPd but have not added their information to the “classmates” page.  If you are in this group, please add your information to the “classmates” page so we have your complete contact information.

3.) We made contact with 119 classmates – most have indicated they are interested in the reunion and will sign up soon. If you have been contacted about the reunion, please add your information to the “classmates” page and RSVP (even if you do not plan to attend).  If you plan to attend, please purchase your tickets online.  It will save the committee time because we intend to follow up with everyone who has been contacted but not on the website yet.

4.) 207 classmates for whom we could not find contact information.

We have mailed 32 postcards to those classmates for whom we have a physical address, but no email address or telephone number (this population of people are included in item #3 above).  We are trying to keep our mailing costs down, so if we have information to contact you either by phone or email, you will not receive a postcard.

We also have compiled a “Missing Grads” page which is posted on this website.  Our hope is that you all will assist us by finding and contacting these classmates, provide them with the website address, and forward any contact information to us.  We are working hard to encourage everyone to attend – please help us spread the word and encouragement – a great turnout will make the event even more special!

See the information below about how to navigate the website and opportunities to assist with the reunion. 

You can navigate through this website using the menu selections to the left of this screen.  Please do the following:

1. Complete the information on "Classmates" page - this information will be helpful to us even if you do not plan to attend the reunion.  By providing your contact information, we will know we have communicated with you, and we will have your information for future reunions.

2. Complete your "RSVP" selections for each event.  If you do not plan to attend, please still RSVP and indicate that you will not be attending.

3. Buy Tickets - you can purchase tickets online to the main event using a credit card or you can mail a check (see instructions on the "Buy Tickets" page).  You will also have an opportunity to purchase a "Donation" ticket to assist with the costs of the reunion.  All other events - football game, brunch, and golf:  you will pay at the time of the event.

4. Complete the Class Survey - It is a questionnaire that will give us a lot of information about each other.  We plan to create a "Memory Book" and will use this information to create some interesting content.  Additionally, your name will be entered into a raffle at the main event. 

5. Optional items - the "Guestbook" and "Message Board".

If you can commit your time to participate in a specific subcommittee, please contact the chairperson.  The subcommittees and respective chairpersons are as follows:
