By now, many of you have likely received a message from one of the committee members asking you to submit your contact information. We are attempting to get an e-mail address, phone number (home or cell) and physical address from each classmate.

One of the things we are wondering is how far classmates live from the Metro East area. From the data that we have so far, we have a form of contact information for approximately 200 of the nearly 400 classmates from the Class of ’92. About 150 of those classmates live in the St. Louis region and with the another 45 classmates living out of the area or state.

Roughly 60% of the class uses the social media site Facebook and some even use Twitter. By the way, if you are on Twitter you can follow us there @kahoks92.

We will publish a list of who we are looking for soon so please check back and look at our Lost and Found page. Please, if you know how to contact anyone on the list we would appreciate an e-mail with information so we can follow up with that person.

Class of ’92 October Meeting Recap includes announcement

The Collinsville High School Class of ’92 reunion committee met again last night at Jennifer Osaben’s house to discuss the progress of the group since the September meeting.

Our main goal for the reunion is to make this fun and include as many people as possible. We want classmates to feel comfortable in reuniting with former classmates by renewing old friendships and making new ones.

The reunion committee is excited to announce that we have secured a location and date for the reunion. The reunion will take place at the Edwardsville Gun Club on Saturday, September 1, 2012. The committee is planning other activities for that weekend including a casual mixer on Friday night and other activities earlier in the day on Saturday. Stay tuned for more details.

Currently, we have researched and contacted several local DJs and a few photographers for the event, but have yet to make any confirmations. One area we are still working on is food. We hope to include a full meal in the evening, but this depends what prices we receive from local caterers. The plan at this point is to offer draft beer free and possibly other drinks, but mixed drinks will be a cash bar.

The goal of the committee is to keep costs of the reunion as low as possible while acting responsible about what we are spending as a group. Therefore, providing your e-mail address to help us get information to you in crucial. This allows us to keep correspondence free and quick. If you haven’t given your contact information to a member of the committee or submitted it yourself, please send it to us at our e-mail address.

The reunion committee will meet again in November to start finalizing some decisions on our to do list. In the next couple of months we will release more details including costs.

Help Us Get Information About The Reunion To You

My grandmother worked as a telephone operator for much of her life. First for Southwestern Bell in St. Louis, and after World War II she worked the exchange for Granite City Steel where she retired.
 

Later in life she kept several notebooks full of information including addresses, phone numbers, birthdays, anniversaries and favorite things about family members, friends and acquaintances. She and my grandfather also helped organize class reunions for their high school graduating classes. My desire to keep in contact with people must therefore be genetic or just part of my upbringing.

One of the most difficult tasks about planning a class reunion is tracking down former classmates that you’ve lost touch with over the years. In today’s world there are several ways to keep in contact with other people — telephone, text message, e-mail, social media and even via the regular U.S. Mail. However, with so many people using the internet, our goal is to keep costs down by attempting to contact classmates primarily through e-mail and this website.
 
To help us in this effort PLEASE email us your contact information to us at: Kahoks92@gmail.com.
 
It’s an easy two step process -
1) Type your name in the subject box.
2) Include the following information in the body of the e-mail:
  • Name (ladies, please include maiden name)
    Street address
    City, State, Zip code
    Telephone or cell number
    e-mail address
Further, you can help us by providing information on additional classmates so no one is excluded. After we find contact information for a majority of the graduating class we will post a list of those classmates we are still looking for and asking for your help. Either contact information or clues will help us greatly. We hope to have a detailed list of who we are still looking for by early November so those people can be tracked down via other means.
 
We promise not to share your e-mail address when we send out a bulk message to all classmates.

Class of ’92 Reunion Committee Meets

The Collinsville High School Class of 1992 Class Reunion Committee met Wednesday, September 28 at Christie Morales house to discuss the next steps in planning the 20 year class reunion.

At this point the plan is to hold the reunion around the weekend of September 1, 2012. This date coincides with Labor Day holiday weekend. The thought is to give those classmates travelling another day to get some things done after being out-of-town all weekend.

Initial thoughts are to hold a mixer on Friday night to get re-acquainted. The actual 20 year class reunion will be held on Saturday night. At this point we are still finalizing the place, but the main goal is to keep costs reasonable to allow as many people as possible to attend. Meetings will continue monthly until the event next year to ensure having a well-organized, fun experience.

Currently, we are in the process of tracking down contact information for all classmates from the Class of 1992. We are attempting to find as many people through Facebook as possible. Having everyone’s e-mail address will allow us to save on any mailing costs. However, it will be good to know where everyone is regarding how many classmates will travel from out-of-town. If you are a classmate without a Facebook account please send us your contact information (address, phone number, e-mail) to kahoks92@gmail.com.

At this point we are taking suggestions on reasonably priced caterers and photographers. Please contact us if you know of someone who you’ve worked with or that you know that can help. Decorations and entertainment are also areas that will need attention soon.

If you want to receive an e-mail when this site is updated please subscribe by clicking on the FOLLOW button on the lower right hand screen and enter your e-mail address. Again, your e-mail address will not be shared with anyone outside of the reunion committee.

Finally, please feel free to leave any comments or questions below.

Welcome!
