Sorry for the silence. I've been a bit preoccupied with a wedding and getting kids ready for camp, etc.

By tomorrow afternoon I will have costs, payment info, and instructions available. I'll post them here and at Classmates and send a press release to the Herald Bulletin and Indy Star. Any other publicity options I should try?

Next week I am going to set up a chat for people who are interested in helping to further plan the evening.

We have a date and location

More details will be forthcoming, but we will be having our 25 year reunion at:

The Anderson Country Club
Saturday August 16, 2008

It will be a buffet dinner. I'll have details shortly.

Need site input

Hi all--

I've been making lots of calls and talking to people about different venues.

This is what I've got as far as Anderson goes:

The Paramount Ballroom is lovely, but we would have to cap attendance at about 200. With a class of almost 400, and the expectation that most people will want to bring a spouse or date, this just seems too small. (Plus, I've left messages twice and received no return call.)

The Clarion Hotel (former Holiday Inn) would be the right size, but after speaking to a relative who recently attended a wedding there I thought that I'd better do some research. The ratings on travel websites are dismal, and one event planner that I talked to told me that the food is mediocre and the service is worse.

Other than that, I'm not finding much. Any other suggestions?

If we can't find something in Anderson can we do Indy?

I have been to several meetings/events at the Hilton that is just off I69 at the Castleton exit. It is close to Anderson and the food I had there was decent. There are a number of places that could be possibilities on the north side.

I have a dinner/silent auction in three weeks that I'm finishing up preparations for, and after that I want to really get this tied up.

So what do you think? Any ideas? Help!
