Suggestions to maximize our BIG 60th Dinner

1. School colors:
Palm Springs High School colors at events, parade, homecoming football game: RED, WHITE, BLACK

2. Name tags:
Look up Chia photo, copy, cut, add name -maiden and married... make tag for spouse plus 1, buy lanyard or name tag pin at office supply store.

3. Donate the following:
A. Sponsor a classmate If you wish to subsidize a classmate, pay for a dinner ticket or half of cost please do send Zelle funds or mail a check. The guest you sponsor will be private, we will let guest know an anonymous donor is helping. With guest permission after the event we will send a private message to donor(s). All donor funds will go to those who may need some help.

B. Invite a classmate into your home, casita or if you have an Airbnb property perhaps you will consider a discount. We can see if singles may want to share, prorate costs to save over hotel room cost.

4. Share a talent:
Share your musical talent, bring guitar, keyboard, plug in to do a couple of songs, singers, bring your audio plug in. Artists- bring a copy of your art. If originals, bring an Apple tracking tag and otherwise secure your piece while on easel or display table. We will reach out to local print store so that if you wish to email a copy for them to print, then you pick up locally. If you have arts/crafts please bring set up such as glass display (that locks). LET US KNOW what you wish to share so we can ask hotel events to provide easel, long tables setups.

5. Photographers:
If you are a photographer, we are asking the hotel to set up a photo background, decorative arch or the like. If you wish to volunteer to do photos during the event for a period of time, 30 minute increments for example, please let us know. We may see if videographer can take photos for a small fee. Or, suggestions welcome. It's a good idea to take photos on arrival, so do keep this in mind.

6. Sharing you and yours:
Think about a 3-5 minute personal talk, where we pass the microphone at the dinner party. Maybe make an outline because it will help them stay on point, edit down to not repeat for what they'd like to share. And if they have a thumb drive you can consider putting photos in order as you share your story.

7. Attire:
Dress for comfort, Comfortable, sensible shoes for walking, cool summer like attire since warm weather stays usually through Oct 31st. Hats, sunblock, light clothing daytime, sweater or shawl evenings

8. Invite:
Invite your PSHS siblings, best friends from upper and lower class years are welcome.

9. Class year tables:
Class or family tables at dinner event. Please let us know if your SIXTIES class year wants to reserve a table of two. Tables seat eight. You can create a theme for your table(s) to decorate as you like for your theme. Make it fun. If you wish to garb in Ivy league, poodle skirts or hippy or Hawaiian? Just no glitter or messy stuff, please, unless you wish to pay for clean up...keep it classy and clean. (be prepared to clean up after)

10. Complete questionnaire:
RSVP list of events by October 1, 2024 so we can log notes to our events attendance list.

11. Dinner priority:
We will give first on the list of events to those who attend the main dinner event. For example; Billy Reeds has capacity. If you are not attending the main event you will be on a back up list for this group event. We will need to have dinner event payments in preferably by September 9, 2024. Please let us know if you need a slight extension. Mind you, this is a BIG 60th hosted by class members of 1964 & 1965 class years this year, but all SIXTIES welcome to join us. THIS IS AN EPIC, CLASS ACT reunion. We are inclusive of ALL SIXTIES classmates. Events are optional, we invite you to make suggestions and if you have ideas, please do private message us.
