Reunion invitations received while unemployed –should you stay (at home) or should you go?

For the past month, I’ve been assisting the Seabreeze High School Class of ’86 Reunion planning committee. No doubt, it’s been a blast seeing familiar faces from the past on a regular basis.

Aside from the overall conclusion that it would be a heck of a lot easier to get the word out to our classmates if Facebook existed in the 1980s, we have also been pondering what our turnout will be in this current economic climate.

We are keeping it casual and cost-conscious, but still, will people want to come if life isn’t seemingly as good as it was five years ago? We certainly hope they will come.

I found a feature article on this very subject by Marine DelCarmen, a contributor to a publication entitled, “The Bellevue Reporter.” Thought it might be an interesting read. Go Sandcrabs!
