Frequently Asked Questions

Hi everyone,

We've been hearing some of the same questions coming up, and so have compiled the answers for all of you here. If you have any other questions, please email me directly or post here so I can answer them.

Q: When exactly is the reunion?
A: As previously posted, the planned reunion events will start July 1, 2012 and end on July 4th with a bang (literally, as in with fireworks!).

Q: What will we be doing at the reunion?
A: The itinerary has not changed much from previous posts, but here is the final schedule:

Sunday, July 1 - We will be starting with a Welcome Brunch at 10 am. After, we will be taking a family photo, and then enjoying the amenities of the resort together with a pool party and volleyball tournament. Everyone will be responsible for the own dinner that night.

Monday, July 2 - We have planned a group trip to Six Flags Great America. Tickets are NOT included in your reunion payment - with group ticket pricing, tickets will be approximately $32/each + tax. For those who do not want to go to the theme park, we will provide a list of shopping, golfing, and other attractions in the area. Everyone will be responsible for their own meals.

Tuesday, July 3 - The morning will be free time - there will be a chance for golfing, shopping, or whatever you like. Everyone will be responsible for their own breakfast and lunch. Our formal dinner will start at 6 pm that evening.

Wednesday, July 4 - We will be exploring downtown Chicago, and in the afternoon will be setting up our picnic area and get ready to watch the fireworks over Navy Pier. Everyone will be responsible for their own breakfast and lunch, and then we will do a picnic dinner together.

Q: What will the dress code be for the formal dinner?
A: Cocktail attire.

Q: When do we get our really cool t-shirts?
A: You'll be getting a welcome package at the brunch on Sunday.

Q: When are we wearing our really cool t-shirts?
A: We will wear them for our family photo on Sunday, for Great America on Monday, and again downtown on Wednesday. (Don't worry, there are washing machines at the hotel for washing in between!)

Again, if you have any questions please contact me directly. Thanks, and see you all soon!
