Reunion Pictures

Hi! I have had people ask if we can post photos from the reunion online. I have created a group album on PhotoBucket.com. This album is set to Private, so people can only view the photos if they know the URL and password. Email me (heidi@mvhs1998.com) if you would like the URL and password.

Take care! :)

Our Next Reunion

Our next reunion will be our 15 year reunion in 2013. It will be a casual get-together and most likely free. We will be corresponding via email like we did for this one, so please notify us of any email address changes. Thanks and take care! We'll see you in five spiffy years!

"Where Are They Now?" Book Goes Electronic

The electronic version of the "Where Are They Now?" book is online. Email me at heidi@mvhs1998.com if you want access to it. We hope you enjoy looking through it!

We still have some paperback copies available. Let me know if you would like one!

Book update

Hello again! If you want a paperback copy of the book, the cost is $15.00. I have included the cover and a sample page so you can see what it looks like. It is better-than-yearbook quality paper, full color, letter size, and is 96 pages.

How to pay:
1. PayPal (mvhs1998.com/pay.aspx)
2. Mail a check or money order made out to
Heidi Johnson, 618 West 500 North, American Fork, UT 84003
3. In person on Saturday

If you already know you want a copy, please email me back so I can set your copy aside--otherwise it is first-come first-served. We have printed 50 books, but we can print more if we need to. If you want a copy but need it mailed to you, let me know so I can update you on the shipping cost. USPS' flat rate envelope is $4.80, but I am going to see if I can get it lower if I mail the book with regular mail instead of Priority.

For those who want the electronic version, you will be able to download it from our website beginning on Sunday. There are reunion "spoilers" in the book, so that is why you can't get it on Saturday--sorry. (And for those of you getting the paperback copy, no peeking on the fifth page!) The e-version is a PDF and is screen quality, so it will not be able to be printed. The file size is huge when it is saved with print quality and takes about 2 hours to download, so that is why it is only the screen quality/smaller file size. Even then, it will still take some time to download.

We don't want "just anyone" to be able to access the information that is in the book, so you will have to enter a password to download the file. I will email that to you on Sunday along with the book's URL.

Thanks!!
Heidi

What to expect ...

We are so excited to see everyone on Saturday! We hope you have a good time and enjoy yourselves! Here is the gameplan:

11:00am-1:00pm
Bring-your-own-Picnic to SCERA Park's main pavilion, 600 South State Street in Orem. We will provide ice cream sandwiches and ice cream bars. This is a pretty casual get-together, so feel free to wear casual clothes and bring whomever you'd like.

SCERA Park has a nice playground and the pavilion is right next to a large field. So if you would like to bring frisbees, balls, etc., feel free to do so!

All alumni will receive a gift here, too, so be sure to get that before you leave.

The SCERA Park Pool is not part of our reservation; but if you would like to go there, here are some details:
Cost: $5 for ages 14 and up; $4 for ages 4-13; $3 for 3 and under.
Ages 9 and under need someone 14 or older.

6:30-9:30pm
Catered dinner at UVSC's Centre Stage in the Sorensen Student Center, 800 South University Parkway in Orem. Dinner will be served promptly at 7:00pm. We have ordered a few extra meals, so if you know of anyone who would still like to come, they can pay at the door.

There are two parking lots that UVSC has asked us to use: Lots L and D. Lot L is just outside of the Student Center. If you park here, your parking will be validated by UVSC (therefore, free). If you park in lot D, you will have to pay for parking.

This is a more formal gathering, so we recommend that you wear semi-formal attire. You are welcome to dress up more or less, but semi-formal is what we are recommending. We have chosen a Red Carpet theme for this event, and so we will also be giving out some Oscar Awards as well. We will also have door prizes and other gifts that everyone will receive.

Let me know if I have left any questions unanswered--or brought up new ones for that matter. :P

Thanks!
Heidi

Online orders

Our last package just arrived!!

We had a bit of a fiasco with the gifts we ordered. Apparently, the company we ordered from had two days of no production because they were taking inventory. I happened to place my order the day before they stopped production, but there was no indication that that would delay the delivery date ... until I called them two days later! Needless to say, we had to pay an additional $100 in shipping, but they made it safe-and-sound! In fact, they even arrived a week earlier than they said it would, so I don't know why we had to rush it ... oh well, at least they're here!

"Where Are They Now?" book

WOW! The "Where Are They Now?" book took a lot longer to compile than I anticipated! Whoops. I still made the deadline for getting them printed, but I certainly didn't get enough sleep last week. :) I stayed up late every night and even got a babysitter for my baby two days, but I still ended up being awake until 5:15am Thursday night/Friday morning working on the book. Then I got up at 8:00am to finish it! But I got the files turned in on time, so we're good to go. I hope you enjoy the books! There is some good information in there! It is amazing what some people have done over the last ten years.
