High school reunion season is upon us. While some fear reuniting with former classmates, the National Association of reunion Managers says there is nothing to fear.
June 4, 2007 (Press Release) --
With high school reunion season just around the corner, tens of thousands of people from ages 22 to 67 will soon receive an invitation to their high school reunion.
For most, the decision to attend is a no-brainer. Either they are enthusiastic about reuniting with their former high school classmates, or they are not.
“Too often people view a high school reunion more as a beauty contest than a relaxed, fun event,” Wanda Diroll, president of the National Association of Reunion Managers, the official association of reunion planners said. “Many people feel they are going to be judged on three criteria – their appearance, their career and their home life.
“This is unfortunate because based on the thousands of high school reunions we have planned, we know people don’t go to reunions to judge others or put them down. They go to have fun,” Diroll added.
Diroll continued that high school reunions should be viewed as a chance for adults with adult responsibilities to relive the carefree days of high school when the biggest crisis in their life may have been getting a pimple.
“While every reunion has attendees who approach the event with some trepidation, in most cases everybody ends up having a great time and are happy they went,” Diroll said.
The National Association of Reunion Managers (NARM) is a membership organization of high school reunion planning companies across the country. Collectively the association organizes hundreds of high school reunions each year. The association estimates that thousands of high school reunions take place each year with tens of thousands of people attending.
“Our message is simple. Revisiting the past and reconnecting with high school classmates can be one of the most satisfying and enjoyable experiences in an adult’s life. Just do it and have fun,” Diroll said.
