Survey Results
Summary
Thank you all who responded to the survey. We were hoping for more responses, and for most of the questions,
there was no overwhelming consensus. Still, it appears that the majority would like to have the event held in
October, with buffet food and either a DJ or live music.
A tour of the high school was the other activity most
chosen, and almost half wanted to stay within a 25-mile radius of Haddonfield for the location.
Two thirds were willing to pay $75 for the event, and almost 80% would like the opportunity to pay online.
As for inviting other classes, "Yes" won over "No" by a small margin. We will
be working on an event that we hope will attract more of the Class of 69 to return for our 40th reunion in 2009!

10. COMMENTS
- If we go with a picnic idea, we could ask for volunteers to bring their favorite foods or provide something to help allay the costs.
- What about having it at one of the casinos in Atlantic City - utilize AC airport/weekend package
- Have some type of "get acquainted" activity to get folks engaged early in the evening, with a chance to be reintroduced to people we may not recognize but would otherwise like to talk with
- Make it comfortable where you don't have to dress up. More relaxing atmosphere.
- More photos - group shots
- Band should be a softer sound so people can talk.
- Something to eat should be present through the end of the night.
- Beatles revival bands should play like Revolver or Abbey Road
- Any place with a bar and dance floor
- Cape May during the off-season is always fun
