By what date do I need to commit and send in my money?

For now, there is no formal cutoff date, but for planning purposes (various meals, photo name badges, etc.), the sooner, the better.

When should I make my lodging reservations?

Absolutely, the sooner, the better.  You will be receiving lodging information. 

Is the $80 per person contribution for the main event or for both the Friday and Saturday events?

The $80 covers you for all reunion events.  Though the costs are greater than $80

per person, the difference is being covered by donations.

Can I make a donation to help defray expenses or to help some of my

classmates attend the reunion?

The reunion cost per person was kept modest to help make this reunion

affordable for everyone.  Some people are making donations to help defray the costs,

thus making it possible for classmates who otherwise might not be able to attend

the reunion if the cost was higher.  Go to the Menu and click on Donations.

What happens with any net proceeds remaining (after paying the out-of-pocket

expenses)?

Those proceeds will be held in our reunion bank account and later donated to ETHS.

Can I pay online?

Yes.  Go to the menu and click on Tickets.  There is no credit card fee.

Can I pay by Venmo or PayPal?

Yes.  Email us at eths62class@gmail.com – We’ll explain how to pay.

Should I invite my spouse/significant other?

Your spouse/significant other is very welcome, although we have found that in our

previous reunions, most classmates do come on their own.

Class members always enjoy reunions – spouses might not.

A trip through The Twilight Zone is sometimes best traveled alone.

At the last reunion, 77% of class members came solo.

Therefore, it has been found that the above approach has allowed class members to

feel comfortable coming on their own, even though their spouse or significant other

has chosen not to attend the reunion.  Also, this approach has allowed unmarried

class members (widows, widowers, divorcees, never been married) to feel

comfortable coming on their own.

Will I need to rent a car to get to all the events?

All reunion events will be in the downtown Evanston area.  Uber, Lyft, and cabs are easy alternatives to a car.

What is the “dress code?”

Although we’re beyond dress codes, given past reunions, most people will tend to

dress casually for Friday evening and will dress up a bit more for Saturday evening.

I live almost an hour away from Evanston – I don't like the idea of driving

round-trip both evenings – any suggestions?

Yes, treat yourself to a vacation – Book yourself into one of the local hotels or stay

with a friend or relative.  You will have a much better time and avoid drinking &

driving.  Consider the following:  There are class members who are coming from

California, and they are booking a hotel room.  Why not do the same for yourself?

You deserve it.  Save money and share a room with an old friend.
