A Location at Last!

Hello Everyone!

We hope you are having a wonderful holiday season thus far!

We have VERY exciting news to share with all of you...we have a location and a date for our 10 year reunion! We will be celebrating at the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa on Saturday August 8, 2009! Please start spreading the news to everyone you are in contact with from our Awesome Class of 1999! Tell them to visit the website below and click on our El Capitan Class of 1999 Ten-Year Reunion link. You will be able to view all the important details for the fun night on the Reunion Specialists website! Please update your information and RSVP for our event!

We want to continue the reunion festivities to include families, and those who may not want to attend the reunion dinner/reception on Saturday night. So, on Sunday August 9th, 2009 we will be going to a Padre game together. Our plan is to have everyone who is interested buy tickets for the grass area and bring a picnic lunch. We can enjoy each other's company, meet our classmates children, and just hang out together again!

You should be receiving a Save the Date card in the mail within the next couple weeks with information (the card may be mailed to your parent's house depending on what address the Reunion Specialists were able to locate for you).

Thanks again for all your help, feedback and suggestions! We hope you are as excited as we are about the reunion!

Thanks,
Your Class of '99 Reunion Committee

Venue Ideas?

Hello Everyone!

Unfortunately our top choice of venues for our reunion, Hotel Solamar, located downtown San Diego is going to be too expensive. So, we are back to brainstorming locations to hold the reunion. We will be meeting with Reunion Specialists on Saturday September 20th at 9:00am at the Starbucks at Grossmont Center in la Mesa to discuss location ideas, and we would love for you to join us! We know Saturdays are very valuable so we will stay on task, share ideas, and move on with our weekends. If you are unable to make it, but have a venue to suggest please fill free to email your idea to heatherspencer05@yahoo.com or leave a note on our website.

We will keep you posted on any decisions that are made regarding location and date, as soon as we can.

Thanks,
Your Class of '99 Reunion Committee

The Planning Stages

Hello Everyone!

It is great to see that people are starting to find our blog and post comments, thank you! Please continue to ask questions, post feedback, and of course share the website with whomever you come in contact with from our class of 1999! The blog will be updated periodically as plans come together so that you can stay informed!

Our committee has decided to partner with a company called Reunion Specialists to help plan our 10 year reunion. After researching multiple companies and the idea of pulling together the reunion on our own, we decided to go with an experienced company for our first reunion, instead of solely relying on ourselves! The company is currently working with the class of 1998, and many other schools in San Diego. The reunion committee still has a say in all the details, but with the help of the company we do not have to front any money for reservations, research current mailing addresses, or send out mailers.

We have taken time to research potential venues in San Diego, and are currently waiting to hear back in regards to ticket prices. Reunions can be expensive, so we are trying hard to find a venue that is perfect for our class and reasonably priced. We are planning on having an evening event for adults only, and an event the following afternoon where we would love to meet your children, if you have them! We are hoping to set a date soon, so that everyone has plenty of time to plan! We are looking at the time frame of mid July-mid August 2009.

Over the next few months we will be brainstorming activities that will be taking place at the reunion, such as a slide show and silent auction. Please keep in mind we will be collecting photos and items to auction off.

You can now also connect with the class of '99 reunion committee on MySpace and Facebook. We look forward to staying in contact with you!

Thanks,
Your Class of '99 Reunion Committee
