DEAR CLASSMATES,
Dear Classmates.
We are now past Memorial Day and need to reach out and promote the reunion aggressively between now and the ticket purchase deadline of September 12.
We still do not have contact information for about 50% of the class. Please use this link to review the current spreadsheet and notify Ken, Dotsie and/or Marty with any contact information that you might have and/or the names of the classmates who you are willing to research. Again, this is all hands on deck!
With appreciation!

HOW TO FIND LOST CONTACTS
Marty has provided a few suggestions pasted below on strategies that you can use to find contact information for lost classmates, using Candy Adams as an example:
Go to https://www.fastpeoplesearch.com/
​
In the fastpeoplesearch example, type Candy Adams and Massachusetts. Choose the 67 year old Candace Adams
Possible for Candy Adams
​
Full Name: Candace L Adams
​
Current Home Address:
​
3 Flat Rock Rd
​
Easton CT 06612 (203) 257-5779
​
Call asking if Candy is our classmate and mention our 50th reunion. Ask for her email address so that we can send her regular updates.
​
If phone number no longer works, but you have an address, write a personal letter. Many people dropped their landline and only use mobile, or got a new phone number, etc. Ideally personal letters should be hand written (at least the envelope should be), not typed, as many view typed as an advertisement and don’t open and throw away without reading. Your name and address plus Lynnfield High Class of 1974 in the return address.

DRAFT LETTER
Dear (classmate’s first name),
​
We are planning our 50th high school reunion and I am serving on the planning committee. The reunion is scheduled for October 11, 2024 at Spinelli’s in Peabody, MA. Other activities are also being planned for that weekend. We are reaching out because we do not have complete contact information for you. It would be very helpful if we had your email address, so that we could send you regular updates. We also have put together a reunion website where you can find out all that you need to know about the reunion, purchase tickets and get in contact with us with any questions.

Don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly as well with any questions you might have. You can send me your contact information (including your email address) to (Committee member should provide your email address)
We hope to see you in 2024
​
Best,
Your name
