Interested in seeing your former classmates?
Every class has its own personality, and no one knows what activities "work" for the class better than the classmates. So, we're here to help you plan your class reunion, and we have the following suggestions:
Begin planning a minimum of nine months ahead of when you want to meet.
Contact Rhonda Earles at rearles@tulane.edu at the beginning of your planning; she'll assist you with a list of your classmates and their contact information and will be your contact throughout.
Form a homecoming committee of three to five classmates that can assist with planning the activities, contacting your classmates, etc.
Contact local hotels and establish a block of rooms for classmates to reserve. You may want to enlist the help of the university's contact at DMI Travel; Chris Cavalier can be reached at 800-479-8222. The university also has a travel portal at: www.campustravel.com/university/tulane
Begin soliciting ideas from your classmates on what to do while you're in New Orleans (i.e., meet at your favorite watering hole on Friday night, crawfish boil at The Fly, nice dinner at a favorite restaurant on Saturday evening, light brunch at the school on Sunday before everyone returns home, football game, French Quarter Fest, Jazz Fest, Mardi Gras). Please note that making arrangements around some of the larger events (Jazz Fest and Mardi Gras, in particular) may require more lead time.
Update your contact list for resubmission to the school so its database will contain the latest contact information.
Items to consider:
Will children be in attendance? (As you know the city is full of children-oriented activities: zoo, aquarium, recently opened insectarium, Children's Museum, and Storyland and Carousel Gardens Amusement Park at City Park.)
If children are coming, do you want to arrange to bring sitters to keep them busy while the adults go out?
Do you want to share the cost of a "hospitality" suite at the hotel where you'll be staying so the classmates have a place to hang out after the spouses and children retire for the evening?
The Freeman School can host an online payment site for certain activities; please contact Rhonda Earles at rearles@tulane.edu to make arrangements.
