Donations Requested 
As with our 40th, so that no classmate who wishes to attend is excluded, there will not be a direct cost charged to classmates to attend. Rather, we are asking for donations, from those who are able, to help cover the costs of hosting the reunion (facility & furniture rental, catering staff, food, etc.) $40 per person is the suggested starting point.
If you are able to donate more than $40, don't hesitate! Unless you tell us not to do so, Classmates donating $150 or more will be acknowledged as 'MVP Donors' in our reunion report - amounts will not be listed. Kudos to the generous Classmates (listed on the Home Page) who donated in the past 10 years to keep our Alumni Site up and running!
If you are not able to join us but can contribute, or if you missed your 'donation opportunity' when you RVSP'd, use the yellow 'Donate' button on the upper-right side of our Home Page. You'll be emailed a donation acknowledgement.

How can I tell who has RSVP'd? A list of folks who have already RSVP'd can be generated, if you are logged in, by clicking "Attending Evening Event" at the top of the Classmate List. If you don't see someone you expect to see on that list, please contact them and kindly direct them to get off the (freakin') fence and RSVP. If your name's not there but you'll be there, RVSP at the top of this page. Alternatively, Contact Us to register.
If you are unable to join us, we ask that you login, ‘Edit Profile,’ and fill the final dialog box labeled, “I won't be able to join everyone for the 50-Year Reunion, but instead I'll be __________.” We understand some folks have non-negotiable plans and we also realize reunions aren’t for everyone, so even keying in, “choosing not to attend” helps. Thanks

If the non-alumni guest you wish to bring is really cool and fun, and you really, really want them to accompany you, by all means, bring them. Remember there is a strong possibility they'll be bored hearing all those stories (again) as you visit with long-lost friends. Your choice. P.S.: This is the same format and messaging we had for our last two reunions. 5-7% of attendees brought a guest, and we were happy to have them! See also Reunion FAQs on this subject.
To register your guest at the top of this page, change quantity to "2" and add your guest's first and last name as you want it displayed on their nametag. Next, a minimum $40 donation for your guest is required in advance, 1) during the RVSP process or 2) separately using the yellow 'Donate' button on the upper-right side of our Home Page. You'll be emailed a donation acknowledgement. Alternatively, Contact Us to register your guest.
Registered guests are listed separately below, since only Classmates show up on the "Attending Evening Event" Classmate list displayable (after login) at the top of our Classmate List. If you've registered a guest but you and your guest's name are not listed below, please 'Contact Us' to set us straight so our count is correct and we'll have name tags for them. Thanks.

Who? Anyone who golfs is welcome to join. We hope some women will join us this go around!
Why 18 Holes?! On weekends prior to 3PM, Bonneville only offers 18-hole tee times. If you are not able to play all 18 holes, just ride along and chat!
Arrive at Least 20 minutes Early. After the RSVP deadline, we'll contact you about tee times. Plan on arriving even earlier if you want to hit a bucket of balls.

Friday 8AM Bike Activity (day before Reunion Day)
|
RSVP Required by Thursday, 8/17/23
RSVP using the 'Ticket/Activity Registration for Events' section at the top of this page. You'll be emailed a registration acknowledgement. Alternatively, you may also Contact Us to register.
What? Thanks to Carolyn Nilsen (Crawford) and Scott Wood who would like to invite you and your significant other to prove to the Class of ’73 that, “YES, I CAN STILL RIDE A BIKE” This is one ride you will not forget: a lot of talking, laughing, singing, pictures and more laughter. Oh, and if we get a little exercise, that will be a plus.
Where, When? Meet by 8AM on the north side of Highland High School, on Friday, August 18th (the day before the Reunion). You know that spot, where many folks used to hang out to avoid the teachers, meet friends, have a smoke, drink, or just sluff.
Route? We will take a group photo in front of school around 8:10AM, then take a couple of laps around Sugarhouse Park to reminisce about all the places you used to hide and make out. After two laps, we will proceed to the southeast corner of the park and jump on the the Parleys Trail (starts next to SL Tennis Club) and ride east through Tanner Park, where we will encounter our “One & Only” hill (walking is allowed and for most of us, a MUST). Once we have reached the top of the hill past the mouth of Parleys Canyon, we’ll travel south along Wasatch Blvd. to Old Mill Golf Course, where we will pause for a potty stop (another MUST) and another Kodak moment. The rest of the ride is All DOWN HILL, west to 6200 South > north on 2300 East > Walker Lane > Wander Lane > HOME back to Highland High.
Equipment? eBikes, Mountain Bikes, Road Bikes, etc. If it has wheels and requires balance, be there. NEW or old bike outfits. (I know some of the ladies have some pretty stylish kits they might want to share) Spare tube, (men, not the “spare tire”, we have all worked hard to acquire).
Bring? Gear, Hydration and Energy stuff, Sunscreen
How can I tell who has RSVP'd? A list of Bikers who have already RSVP'd can be generated, if you are logged in, by clicking "Attending Drop-In Pickleball Activity" at the top of the Classmate List. If your name's not there but you'll be joining for the Biking Activity, RVSP at the top of this page. Alternatively, you may Contact Us to register.
