Role of the Class Volunteer...

Reunion Weekend is by far one of the most exciting programs offered by the Oswego Alumni Association. Reunion 2009 brought a record-breaking crowd of close to 1,400 alumni and friends to Oswego for a weekend of great fun and reminiscing!

The level of participation and the number of classmates and favorite faculty returning to Oswego for this event are in large part due to the work of the Reunion Class Volunteers - their creativity, enthusiasm and networking. Planning begins in the Fall and continues right up to Reunion Weekend. It is NOT necessary to be able attend meetings to play an active role in the weekend's planning! Most of our communication and "discussion" can take place via phone, email, mail, etc. Most importantly, we need your INPUT and IDEAS! We also have TONS of fun planning the weekend's activities!

The main charge for Reunion Class Volunteers is:
•Reach out to and encourage your classmates to come back for Reunion - network; contact fellow classmates by email, phone, Facebook, etc.
•Probably the BIGGEST draw - help us plan an activity with your fellow class volunteers that is solely for your group (eg: a class party, picnic, reception, etc.)

YOU can make the real difference in whether or not your classmates will put forth the extra effort to be in Oswego for the weekend of June 11-13, 2010. Here are just a few suggestions as to how you can help us increase your class participation:

1. A letter, phone call or email originating from class volunteers - contact five of your friends and ask them to do the same, etc.

2. A flyer, letter or email from you to classmates encouraging them to attend Reunion. (We'll handle the design and sending for you here in the Alumni Office, as long as you help us with the ideas!).

3. Xerox copies of your senior picture page from your yearbook, and send that with a note to class friends.

4. Contact classmates you know from respective geographic regions and ask them to
contact classmates they know.

5. Holiday cards are a great way to promote Reunion!

6. Connect with friends and classmates on Facebook or through OsweGoConnect, our online alumni community.

7. Any other type of gimmick, round robin, or chain letter/email type of contact idea you can come up with.

8. Work with all of your classmates to help us locate "LOST" members of your class.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS YOUR PERSONAL TOUCH AND INVOLVEMENT -
OUTREACH FROM A CLASS MEMBER IS MUCH MORE PERSONAL!
