FAQs
Question: Can I get a refund if it turns out I cannot attend?
Answer: Yes, a limited number of refunds* can be issued up to 30 days prior to the scheduled date of the event. However, if you paid by credit/debit card, your transaction fee cannot be refunded. Refunds will come in the form of a check by mail. *Because it is so crucial that this event reach minimum attendance, it's important that, if you purchase a ticket, you make every effort to attend. However, it is understandable that unforeseen circumstances may prevent you from attending. In those cases, a refund will be issued.
Question: What is the last date to order tickets?
Answer: June 1, 2010
Question: Can the event be canceled due to low attendance?
Answer: There is a very small window of opportunity to cancel the event without great financial hardship to the organizer (site administrator). The banquet facility will allow a cancelation if it happens 6 months prior to the event AND if they are able to re-book the room. However, they will only refund 50% of the deposit. If they are unable to book the room or the cancelation occurs less than 6 months prior to the scheduled date of the event, then the organizer will be responsible for paying the entire rental (food/beverage) minimum. The deposit to hold the room is $750. The rental minimum is $2,500. The only reason this event would get canceled prior to the 6-month window would be due to low ticket sales. If anyone purchases tickets prior to the decision to cancel, that money would be refunded (minus transaction fees if a credit/debit card was used) and sent as a check in the mail.
PARAMETERS FOR CANCELATION: At least 50 tickets need to be sold by December 15, 2009.
Question: Why are you asking for website donations?
Answer: The host of this website (ClassCreator.com) charges a $9 monthly subscription fee to maintain it. Currently, this is personally being paid for by the site administrator who will need to keep the site active until June 2010. The site administrator also purchased the domain name for $19 (which will last 1 year). Any financial help with these items would be greatly appreciated. If the donations go above and beyond what is required to maintain the site and the cost of the URL, that money will go towards the event. If you'd prefer not to use the "Donate" feature on the homepage (which will ask for a credit card), you can include your donation in the check when you purchase your reunion tickets through the mail.
Question: Why are tickets purchased by credit/debit cards, $3 more expensive?
Answer: The host of this website (ClassCreator.com) charges a transaction fee for every credit/debit card purchase. The fee was added to the ticket price.
Question: Will I be mailed a printed ticket for the reunion?
Answer: No. All communications/confirmations regarding reunion attendance will be handled electronically.
Question: What is the appropriate attire for the reunion?
Answer: The reunion is not a "formal" event, meaning tuxes and evening gowns are not required. Nicer evening clothes (suits, dresses, etc.) are perfectly acceptable.
Question: Will alcohol be served?
Answer: Yes, alcohol, along with other beverages, will be served. Soda, coffee, and beer* (Miller/Miller Lite) are included in the ticket price. Tea and milk can be served upon request, at no charge. All other beverages, e.g., wine, cocktails, etc. will be available for cash. *Free Miller/Miller Lite is limited and will be served until it runs out. Afterward, all beer will need to be purchased.
Question: How do classmates' names get added to the site so they can register?
Answer: The site administrator adds them manually. If a classmate does not see his/her name on the profile list, he/she should use the "Contact Us" form and request that his/her name be added.
Question: I'm having technical difficulties with the website. What should I do?
Answer: Use the "Contact Us" form and send a detailed description of the issue to the site administrator who will research the problem and get back to you.
