We are up to 99 paid participants for Saturday’s reunion. This is shaping up to be quite the evening. Let me answer all the questions we’ve been asked….

Can I still come if I haven’t paid?
Yes. We’d be glad to have you.

Here’s the deal: you can pay via PayPal until midnight tonight (Thanksgiving Day). Go to PayPal.com and send payment to: MK1997reunion@gmail.com. $65/person.

If you want to pay at the door, it’s $75/person and must be in cash.

Is there a dress code?
Yes, albeit a mild one. No hats, no sweatpants and no t-shirts. So don’t show up in a hat, t-shirt or sweatpants and proceed to make a scene. We won’t have sleeves for you to borrow.

What time does it start?
Our event lasts from 8-midnight. If you want to show up earlier and hang out at the bar and pay for drinks, I’m not going to stop you.

(And that’s Saturday, November 24th. Don’t show up Friday.)

What will we eat?
From 8-10pm, the following food items will be available:

• Chicago Style Assorted Deep Dish Pizza Bites
• Nacho Bar with Chili, Shredded Cheddar and Jack Cheese, Guacamole, Sour Cream & Picante Sauce
• Chicken Bites with Honey Mustard Sauce
• Raw Vegetables
• Penne a la Vodka

On the beverage side, the open bar lasts from 8-midnight. Drink up.

How will you know I paid?
I will be standing outside Vanderbilt’s giving out wristbands. You must have a wristband to enter. If you’d like to volunteer to help with front door duty, you are fantastic. Send me an email.

What will we do?
Eat. Drink. Reminisce. Play pool. Show pictures of your kids or dogs or beach houses. Lie about your resume. Mingle. Flirt. Network. Fill out your page in the “Where Are You Now?” MK Alumni Directory, which we’ll send out to everyone afterwards. High-five.

There will not be any formal events. No Reunion Queen or Gifted & Talented Showcase. You’ll entertain yourselves/each other.

Where is this thing again?
Vanderbilt’s, in the Hamilton Park Hotel in Florham Park.

175 Park Avenue
Florham Park, NJ 07932
1-800-321-6000

Here’s a link to this address on Google Maps.

Does Vanderbilt’s have a website?
Yes — http://www.hamiltonparkhotel.com/vanderbilts

Which event has more significance to you: the reunion, or Valleyview Principal George Deamer’s retirement?
I echo Sanjay’s sentiment.

Why am I getting this email if I told you I wasn’t coming?
Sorry. I tried to scrub the list. This is the last email you’ll receive. Promise.

What happens at midnight?
If enough people are still hanging out, the bar will stay open (cash bar).

Email me with any additional questions. See you Saturday!
