Remember, it is two weeks from today on Saturday, October 11th. To help you out, we've put together a "cheat sheet" of things you'll need to know for the event (who knew cheat sheets would have a use after high school, huh?) If you have any questions between now and the reunion, use the contact us form on the website or just respond to this email.

See ya in two weeks!

The ETHS Class of '88 Reunion Crew

A few notable additions to the El Toro High School class of 1988 website today: We now have over 200 pictures posted to the site as well as 160 markers on the "Where Are You?" map. And speaking of the map, you may have noticed all those colored markers. So what do they mean? Each color indicates whether or not that person is planning to attend the reunion October 11th.

= Planning to attend
 = Not sure yet
 = Can't attend (but will lift a cold beverage on the evening of October 11th in solidarity)

And speaking of attendance... just a quick reminder (last one) that you have 2 days to save yourself $10 per person for the reunion. That's right, after Friday, it's going to cost you a Franklin and a Lincoln. So get those checks off to Creative Reunions today. And of course, we're looking forward to seeing you at the reunion.

No point in putting it off any longer. It is time to get your El Toro High School 20 year reunion registration submitted. If your dog ate the paperwork, no worries. Here is all the information you need. So save yourself $10 per registration and use that money for a cocktail at the reunion or to put a couple of gallons in your car. All registrations received after September 26th will cost $105.00 per person. And finally, keep in mind if you wait to buy tickets at the door, it is cash-only. No credit card frequent flyer miles or cash-back bonus award for that transaction.

We're just three weeks away. We sure hope you can make it!

Here's yet another reason to register now for our 20 year reunion!  Thanks to Heather (Simon) Risinger, Sales and Marketing Manager at iFly at Universal CityWalk, if you register before September 26th, you'll be entered into a drawing to win a prize package from this unique indoor skydiving adventure.  And this is no chintzy prize package. Here's what the prize package includes: Family Pack which flies up to five people. Each flyer will get two indoor skydives. Also included are lessons, all the necessary gear, flight certificates upon completion, and a souvenir DVD of the flight session. Value $300!  Check out www.iFlyHollywood.com for more information including pictures and video clips about this super cool experience. The winner will be announced at the reunion.

Heather (Simon) Risinger was the 150th classmate to place a marker on the "Where Are You" map. And if you haven't been up to the site in awhile, we've got over 160 photos up there too. But more importantly, there are now over 600 pictures that have been peeled out of photo albums, unearthed from tennis shoe boxes and sent in to us. Thanks a bunch. All of these pictures will be included on posters and signs at the reunion and of course many of them will be included in a nifty slideshow there too. We're sure looking forward to seeing you all there. Don't forget to register!

Break out your ETHS memorabilia and show off your stuff, so we can all smile at times long ago.

Seriously, we need you to pull out your memorabilia from baby day books to old video tapes. At the reunion, we will have a memorabilia table, so if you have any memorabilia you would like to contribute, please let us know. Your stuff will be returned right after the event.

This is just a friendly reminder that we'd really like to have a picture of you and your family for the reunion. If you could please send it to us by September 15th, that would be great. And of course, if you have any older pictures from back in high school, we'd appreciate those too. The family pictures will be included on a large sign for everyone to see at the reunion. And even if you don't think you can make it to the event itself, we'd still like to see you and your family represented with all of the others. All pictures can be sent to us using the "Contact Us" form on the ethsclassof88.org website. Thanks again!

It only feels like yesterday. Pulling into Christi Melville's neighborhood and recognizing most of the cars on the street. Walking through the door of her mom's house, no sooner do you hear the music being dished out by Scott Biegel when someone approaches you and asks you to put your car keys in a bowl. Good times.

Well, it's time to relive (some) of those good times the night before the reunion. While Christi did manage to move outta the house, her mom is kind enough to once again open it up to the hoodlums of the ETHS class of '88. Whether you were one of her bride's maids or had to look up the name in our yearbook, all are welcome.

Please RSVP using the contact form on the ETHS Class of '88 website by selecting the "RSVP for the Melville rager!" subject. Thanks!
