High school class reunions

These sites have compiled searchable databases that will allow me to quickly find the classmates on my list.

I can hardly believe it, but my high school class reunion is just around the corner.

I've volunteered to help out with the planning, and my task is to track down as many alumni as possible.

I didn't really keep in touch with anyone once I went off to college, so it's not like I can assemble enough names and contact numbers to put together a decent party.

Instead, I'm going to have to actively search for these people with nothing more than their full names and graduation dates to go by.

The first thing I did was use a couple of the free people searches on websites like Yahoo and Google.

But those returned so many results that it would be impossible to sort through all the choices in time for my high school class reunion.

So I decided to check out some websites that help people organize their high school class reunions.

These sites have compiled searchable databases that will allow me to quickly find the classmates on my list.

Of course not all of my classmates have registered with these sites, but a significant number have, so I was able to get a very good initial guest list for my high school class reunion.

I was also on the actual party planning committee, so my next task was to focus on making our high school class reunion as pleasant and memorable as possible.

Unfortunately, the committee members soon figured out that we had taken on more than we could handle.

After some deliberation, we decided to hire a company that specializes in hosting high school class reunions.

These companies organize numerous high school class reunions every year and can take care of every aspect of the party, from the banquet hall to the catering to the band.

They'll come up with a theme for the evening (if desired), they'll take care of the party favors, and they'll even book a block of hotel rooms at a discount rate for those attending the festivities.

In short, the company takes care of everything except finding the guests so people can enjoy their high school class reunions without having to worry about the details.

Our committee members used the Internet to find a high school class reunion organizer in the area, and we were able to negotiate a fantastic price for their services.

I've seen the preliminary outline of what our party will be like, and I am extremely excited about the event.

Even though I'm a bit shocked at how quickly time is passing by, I know it's going to be so much fun to take a trip down memory lane with all my old friends.

If you're planning your high school class reunion in the near future, make things easier on yourself and do what my committee did: hire someone else to run the show!
