2006 reunion Poll Letter

This letter will be going out to those of you I have a working e-mail address for over the weekend. I havent a chance of getting it to everyone who visits the website, so this seemed a good option. We need your feedback to better target the 2006 reunion. You may e-mail margie@poly71.com or mike@poly71.com or you may simply leave a comment here.


Mike Hill here, I run the class website (http://www.poly71.com) and I
have some news about the next reunion, and a few questions you might be
able to help us with.

The 35 year reunion will be sometime in 2006, were going to ask
what time of year is best to hold the reunion for you in the question
section of this e-mail. In fact there are a few questions, and this
will help us focus the reunion.

We need to start getting in touch with classmates again, and
finding those who drifted away after the 30 year reunion. We also need
to find quite a few missing classmates, and the events of recent years
have restricted some of the sources we could use. Security and identity
theft are a concern and tracking down people isn't as easy as it could
be. Still the job has to be done, and so we are asking that if you are
in touch with anyone from the class that you ask them get in touch with
us.

I'm looking for the loan of an old movie, Corvette Summer, either
on VHS or DVD, I want to capture some of the Van Nuys Blvd stuff from
it. Also any old photos from the time and area would be a great help.

I will be letting you all know as things progress, and of course
posting news on the website. Onto the questions, Hope you are all well
and happy…

Mike….

What you would like at the next reunion?

Cost:

The end result is always a compromise between what we want to do and
a fair price for the reunion. If you could give us an idea of what you
think a fair ticket price is we can better target the event and venue.

Mood:
Period: Dress and styles of the late 60s to early 70s.

Casual: Dress and styles for comfort, nothing special.

Semi-formal: Dressed up, but stilled relaxed.

Music:

Classic Oldies: Songs from the 60s and early 70s.

Classic Oldies Mix: Mostly classic songs with others
added in. (Say 5 or 6 Oldies to 1 newer mix. The newer songs
being requests and dance songs. For example some remakes of
classic songs that are quite good, and others outside the
school
years (1968-1971 ish) would fit and be good to dance to.

Please let us know any songs you would like played.

Food:

We have to feed you. So what you would like on the menu?

Time of year:

Even if you do not plan to attend we need to know this to better
delimit the times that are overall best. Thus far the reunions have
been in late September. Sept 23/24 2006 is the working date, but
that's not fixed. We need to know the time of year that's best for you.
We need a best month, you may add early, mid or late, to fine-tune
the time. You may also tell us when it's not a good time for you.

Events:

Day After Picnic: 10 AM to 5 PM casual dress, could be held at
Poly or a site of interest.

Continental Brunch: 10 AM to Noon the day of the Reunion.

Other: Have something in mind? Let us know.

Something Special:

Besides old friends and classmates (You need to arrange your own
dates.), what would make this event special for you? Feel free to remark
on something even if it seems a bit silly, after all a reunion should be
special.
