QUESTIONS/ANSWERS:

Q:  I've found the website, now what do I do?

Congratulations, you're my hero!  And, my favorite classmate.  (but, let's keep that just between you and me, ok?)   Just a couple more things to do.....

First, select the "Classmates" tab and register yourself on the site.  You will be given a "password" protected login.  Then, at anytime, you may add a picture, update your current information, and write comments for the memory book and/or the website.  

Lastly, please remember to forward the website address to all classmates you have contact with and ask them to register as well.


Q: Can I still go to reunion if I did not graduate?

YES!  A reunion is not about just who graduated, it's about seeing the friends you went to high school with.  Anyone who was in our class as a sophomore, junior or senior can attend.


Q: Can I bring more than one date, since my friends are traveling with me?

YES you may purchase more than two tickets but you are responsible for the behavior of those you bring.  So, make sure you only bring your really nice friends.


Q: I can't afford to purchase a ticket but I really want to go, is there any way I can go at no charge.

We feel the reunion should be affordable to everyone so we've kept the ticket price as low as possible.  However, we do not want anyone left behind due to financial difficulties.  So, if you cannot afford to attend please contact us and we'll work something out or give you some options.  We cannot afford to do this for many people, so please email only if you have real financial need. 


Q: Can I pay at the door?

NO, sorry there can be no paying at the door. We have to let the hotel know in advance our final count and prepay the event cost.


Q: Will there be a Friday Night Alumni Social?

Yes, we will have a 'Alumni Only' Friday night social.  Expect an announcement to be e-mailed to all reunion ticket holders.   Location will be in Kirkland starting at 7:pm September 26th.  The cover charge is included in your reunion tickets. 


Q: How long will this website be active?

This website is scheduled to shutdown in October, since we pre-paid for just one year.  We hope to have a little extra left over from ticket sales or donations to keep this site active, and/or to keep the domain address kangs78.  But, to keep the site active until our 40th reunion would cost around thousand dollars.  We think it would be great if we could afford to keep the site active as a place where classmates could keep their information current.  If you like that idea, please help defray some of that cost by buying your tickets, or even buying an extra ticket as a donation.   We hope you have enjoyed the website, it was all for YOU.   Thanks so much for your support!
