New page

==Suggestions for Class Activities<ref>Genrerated at the Fall'08 Classes and Reunions Committee meeting.</ref>==

===Kinds of events===

A number of different types of events were suggested:

* “Underground” tour;
* Harvard groups touring events (Glee Club, Pudding);
* Pot luck at a classmates home;
* Centered around book signings or other events related to classmates achievements
* Drinks after sports/music events on campus
* Raffle of books by classmates (free tickets for attendees)
* Mini reunion in Puerto Rico
* Piggy back on other events
** Harvard/Yale game
** Pudding
** Pops (with 25th class)
** Return to Harvard Day
** Arts First
** Sports events- hockey, basketball, etc

===Locations===

* HAA Lounge/conference rooms
* Restaurants (private room, or public area)
* Harvard clubs
* Faculty club
* Theatre room at the Faculty club (cheaper than private room)
* Hilles penthouse
* Queens Head Pub

===Location difficulties===

* Many locations require a room charge, including Harvard locations
* Many require advance deposits
* Harvard clubs not open to non-members

===Communication===
* Set up a committee that meets at the reunion and plans for events for the coming years;
* HAA Events
* Postcards
* Email
* Add Yo Yo Ma to your class
* Send out one attention-getting mailing to inspire classmates and get email addresses, for example, enclose a CD, book or umbrella
* System to call classmates
* Web-sites
* Wiki

===Communication difficulties===

* High cost of mailings
* Classes who do not use email widely
* Classes don’t have direct access of email lists, and HAA staff time restrictions at reunion times
* Web-sites difficult to create and maintain

===Finance===

* Plan Free events
* Get a class budget established at your reunion (’78 does this and allocates $ for start-up costs). This is also a good time to get a list of volunteers. Enthusiasm is high at that point.
* Informal lunches
* Find a classmate with deep pockets
* Establish a class bank account which can be used for up-front deposits. This fund can be generated by a sponsoring classmate, raffle, classmate art or books, silent auction, or surplus from events.

===Finance Difficulties===

* Private rooms at restaurants require a deposit or a credit card;
* Some events require upfront dollars;
* Setting up a class bank account- what tax id number? Legal costs.
* Gaining non-profit status for the bank account.
* Who has access? Class government issues.

===Tools===

* Access to email lists
* Info on how to send a questionnaire
* HAA lists sorted by geographical locations; also by occupation
