This will help reach out to more alumni to have a better turnout. We ask that there be only one direct contact person with SJV to avoid miscommunication. This committee will be responsible for all the decision-making regarding the reunion. They will decide the payment options, whether invitations will be sent out, and all other reunion-related decisions that must be made.

Find the venue and set the date for the reunion. When a date and venue have been decided, please send a contract to SJV. It can be emailed to meany@sjvhs.com.

Set the final price with the Advancement Office. This price must cover the venue, DJ, decorations, favors, name tags, etc.

If the reunion committee decides to send out invitations, SJV will either design something for you, or you can create something, and we will print and mail them. You will get final approval if we design the invitations for you, which also cuts down on costs. Many classes also make a Facebook page to keep their class current. We highly recommend each class do this. But please remind classmates that they must officially RSVP to the reunion committee.

Must be two weeks before the event. The SJV Business Office needs time to process the checks. Again, all payments must go through SJV by mail or online.

You may need centerpieces, name tags, and favors. Most venues provide centerpieces. If they do not, SJV has centerpieces that you can use. Providing favors is up to the reunion committee. Many classes have opted out of favors to cut down on costs. But again, that is up to the committee. SJV will reimburse any items purchased for the reunion. SJV must approve any items and budget before any purchases are made. All receipts must be submitted for reimbursement. We ask that any leftover money be donated back to SJV to be included in the Annual Fund and listed as a gift from your class.

SJV has the right to cancel a reunion if the minimum required number of attendees is not met. The Advancement Office must approve all purchases for all reunions.
