Brian Minner Conf. call notes

Jan 20 con call. Sandy, Will Patterson, Blake Murri (very late because of birthday party), Brian Minner, David Chamberlain.

NEXT MEETING Jan 27 8p. Call in #: 605.475.4825 then code 276349.

Assignment: send updated classmate info to Wayne by night before: Jan 26.

Wayne to review status.

Event coordinators to give brief updates. Details of events don’t need to be all resolved in meetings. Event coordinators present plan and options, take input.

A lively and spirited discussion was had by all, and will be again.

Current cruise registration listed below (thanks David). We believe that many others would consider if we could get the info out. Only 3 days, $300/prsn, great time and opportunity.

7 cabins signed up for the Apr 23 cruise out of LA. Breck, David, Morgan, Kneebone, Sandy, Dana Letendre & Heather, Minner

High priority: finding and informing. Need to ensure we are getting the right message points to those with whom we speak.

Script or bullet points for conversations? Use Facebook details in front or printed out

Find out: Is Facebook a good way to communicate with you? Email? What preferred.

EVERYONE on contact cmte should try very hard to reach people ASAP (see Wayne’s List)!

Need to address both reunion events, communication methods, and possibly preparing pics for use in a continuously scrolling video

Make sure everyone knows to start calling people

Some people don’t read the notes.

List people who are lost on FB, multiple walls. Protect privacy – don’t post contact info on FB, but seek private messages as answers.

Some people don’t attend meetings.

Dinner event follow-ups:

Hotels will require a lock-in fee.

200 ppl room, prepared, $1000, menu about $23/prsn…. Ttl of $40-50/prsn.

Issue is Classier approach or highschool / less expensive with fun

VERDICT: Classier looks to be higher cost than many would find palatable. Current view is we’ll pursue catered dinner at the school, and a nice ice breaker for Fri night, where people can imbibe and get re-connected.

Chamberlain as Sat eve coordinator

If we need a sizable deposit, we’ll ask a few of our class to pitch in, recognizing that contributions may or may not be fully remunerated.

Blake Murri will seek out Country Club members.to identify insider opps for facility perks. Wayne and a couple others were doing this as well.

Ice breaker - name tags, greeting table, place where people can drink. Blake will nail that down.

Blake and others will check out Country Club possibilities. Vickie has done some work on this.

Golf as event (Friday afternoon or Sat morn) – coordinators: Morgan/ Adams / Kenny / Berry?

Blake: Tyler Brooks is available, has everything, can do music, etc., AV equip for Sat night…

80’s music, games, trivia for Fri night? Picture show continually running.

Lunch, sport, games, highschool tours (scavenger hunt?)

Minner to contact / confirm with Adams.

Priority is to get people contacted. Use info on blog while contacting people.

Disclaimer: the unpaid keeper of the notes types this very quickly with very little review. All typos or errors should be accredited to someone else.
