Attendance
Record numbers across the board:
- Friday Night - Sconni's Informal: 201
- Saturday Golf Outing - Tribute Golf Course: 31
- Saturday Night - Jefferson Street Inn Formal: 148
However, the maps below suggest there is still plenty of work to do. We literally had individuals within walking distance of the 50-year reunion who did not attend.

Communications
The numbers tell the story of improving operations over time. Given the projected cost of just one conventional mailing to the class in 2027 being more than $600, it is critical that electronic outreach capabilities continue to be developed.

Product Improvement
In the interest of improving operations going forward, the committee has created two items for its internal use:
- Pass down notes which are designed to streamline the startup of the next reunion effort. Included in this collection is background information on event development, technologies used, business points of contact, budgeting, vendors and similar, and
- Lessons Learned which are designed to facilitate a continuous improvement process going forward. Similar to the survey results made available below, these comments come from committee members about what things worked, and what things could have been done better.
