The Ticket-Less 20th Reunion

Good evening all,

Couple questions regarding tickets for the reunion have hit my inbox lately.  The most frequently asked question is a pretty straightforward, “Do we get tickets for the event?”  In lieu of the cost of printing tickets and the relatively small number of attendees, we’re simply tracking all paid attendees as a separate section of our Alumni Database that we’ve been constructing since Day One.

The basic method of tracking is that we’re emailed whenever a PayPal purchase occurs which I then immediately enter into the database.  The same method applies to attendees that send personal checks to my attention.  I drop the names into the database and take the checks in for deposit.

The short answer is no printed tickets, but we’re definitely on top of the list of who’s attending.  In fact, we’ll have a registration table at the entrance of Pine West where you can pick up your lanyard and name tag which will be emblazoned with your smiling face from your Class of 1989 senior picture! 

Have a great night…10 days until the reunion!

Cheers,
-Matt Malone
