Class of 1975 50th Reunion Weekend
FAQS
REGISTRATION
Why do I need to register?
Registration is required for all alumni; there is no registration fee for your guest. The registration fee covers most of the events and gives you the opportunity to join the Big 50 Year Celebration on Saturday night.
We have many volunteers donating their time and resources, financial and otherwise to make this weekend happen. The registration fee helps to cover some of the weekend expenses.
How do I register?
Easy!
Click on the “Register Now” button at the bottom of this page to get started. You will be asked to provide your name and contact information, plus the name of your guest if you bring one. You will pay for the registration fee at that time.
Next, create an account to make the events sign up more simple.
Sign up separately for each event. If you have a guest – update the “# of Guests” to 2 before booking the event.
What if I only wish to attend one event?
You can sign up for as many or as few events as you’d like. The registration fee is still required.
Do I need to create an account?
An account is not required but it is highly recommended. With an account, your information is saved and will be automatically populated for each event. You can also log in later to check your events, get updates, and add new events.
Without an account, you will be required to sign up for each event individually and to populate your information each time for both you and your guest. That’s a lot of typing!
SIGNING UP FOR EVENTS
Why do I need to sign up for each event separately? Is there an "Add to Cart" option?
Unfortunately, there is no “Add to Cart” option; this is a limitation to our web site platform. We understand that it takes more time to sign up for each event, and creating an account will simplify the process.
Some of the events require additional information and incur additional costs. We don’t want to ask you provide any more information than necessary.
Can I come back later to sign up for more events?
Yes! Click here to select more events.
Is there a waitlist if an event is full?
Yes. Please email the reunion help desk. Subject line: Waitlist. Please include your first, last, and maiden name if applicable and the name of activity/event you wish to be waitlisted for and your cell number. You will receive an acknowledgement that you are on the waitlist.
If I need a bike for the bike trip, where can I rent one?
Your coordinators will provide rental information closer to the event date.
If I need to borrow a pickleball paddle, how do I do that?
Four paddles are available to borrow per session. After you receive your confirmation email, please contact Irene to request a paddle if needed. Her email address will be included in your confirmation email.
How do I communicate my dietary restrictions?
The 50th celebration event sign up has a form to indicate your dietary restrictions.
Colonial Inn has a breakfast and brunch menu for you to review.
All other events are on your own.

Bring comfortable walking shoes, your dancing shoes, memories and your smile!
Where do I pick up my registration package?

Will there be a "hangout" spot where I'm likely to find other alumni?
When in doubt, go to the Colonial Inn!
Check the discussion board periodically for additional updates!
Will registration pickup be available on Thursday, Friday and Saturday?
Yes. Please see the badge pickup locations above.
REUNION DISCUSSION BOARD
What is the discussion board?
The discussion board is a moderated platform intended for reunion updates, questions, alumni updates and all things Class of 1975! Communicate with your classmates!
I see the discussion board, but I can't add any comments or new information. Why?
While you can see the list of topics, you must create a discussion board login to post information. The Discussion Board login is a separate account from the Reunion registration.
Why do I need an account to post to the discussion board?
Like other social media accounts, we require an account to protect your information and privacy. Access is restricted to the CCHS Class of 1975 only.
We are monitoring the discussion board and we will remove any unauthorized posts.
Why do I need to create two accounts - one for registration and one for the discussion board?
The registration site will only be live during the registration period. The discussion board will continue to be available for sharing information.
Does my registration account and my discussion board account need to match?
No, that is not required.
I created a discussion board account but it doesn't work and I can't change my password.
New Discussion Board Accounts. After creating your account, you will be sent an account activation email. This may be in your Inbox or Junk Mail. You must follow the instructions to activate your email with this discussion board before posting.
If you haven’t activated your account, try that first. The account must be established before the password can be reset. If you are still unable to log in, please contact the reunion help desk for assistance.
DONATIONS
Why are you asking for donations?
Planning a reunion requires a significant amount of planning and financial resources. The reunion committee is dedicated to making this affordable for all alumni. We have two goals:
– Ensuring that everyone that would like to attend is able to.
– Ensuring that costs not covered by the registration and event fees are not passed on to a handful of alumni and committee members.
Where will my donation go?
Your donations will assure that everyone who wants to attend can be there.
Your donations will help cover the extra cost of facilities, entertainment, dining, etc.
If we have surplus donations, they will be donated to the CCHS Class of 1975 Development Fund.
For Support a Classmate, do I have to identify who it's for?
No. On the donation form, just leave the name blank.
Can I keep my donation anonymous?
Yes. There a checkbox on the donation form to indicate that you wish to make an anonymous donation.
Will a charitable contribution form be provided?
Yes. A charitable contribution form will be provided.
