Alumni Reunion Information

 

Class Reunions

It is truly a special time when classmates can gather together again to catch up on the years gone by and reminisce of the times they walked the halls of Timothy Christian School. Here in the Timothy alumni office we treasure and encourage classes to celebrate these milestone reunions. If your class if thinking about having a reunion, please contact the Alumni Office as soon as possible to let us help you with the process. The Alumni office can help with class lists, website notifications, and general helpful hints and tips. Please call Jay Evenhouse, Director of Alumni Relations, at Evenhouse@timothychristian.com or you may contact him via phone at (630) 782-4040.

 

How does Timothy help with reunions?

There are quite a number of ways in which our office can help you along the way of planning your reunion

Class Lists - We will provide the reunion chair with a list of your classmates and their contact information. Please keep in mind that the information is only as updated as alumni allow it to be. Please encourage your classmates to contact us with their updated information.

Website - Timothy will post information about your reunion on the Timothy Christian Schools website and in the weekly E-newsletter. Reunion Committees are encouraged to provide the Director of Alumni Relations with the information they would like posted.

The Timothy Reflector – The Timothy reflector can be very beneficial for committees planning a reunion.  Reunion announcements and lost classmates inquiries can be posted in the alumni section to reach a large part of the Timothy community.  After the reunion, share your experiences by writing up a short summary of the event that we can include in the magazine.

Schedule Campus Tours and Demonstrations – Using the campus as an initial meeting place for classmates attending the reunion is often helpful and popular.  We can set up a tour of the facilities and also arrange to have demonstrations of the new upgrades to our classrooms.  Contact the Director of Alumni Relations for further information.

Guidance – We are also here to answer any questions, provide helpful hints, and to generally be a sounding board for the reunion committee. Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions, we’ll be happy to answer them to the best of our ability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who plans a class reunion?
Typically it is the responsibility of the class president from your senior year to plan the class reunion. Often, after the 10 year reunion, other members of the class may volunteer to run subsequent reunions.

When do you have a reunion?
Typically the first class reunion falls 10 years after your graduation. From there classes choose to celebrate in additional 10 or 5 year increments. It’s really up to you and your classmates’ preferences..

Do I have a reunion coming up?
Check our website for postings on upcoming reunions. Also, make sure that you update your contact information whenever you have a change of address. Our class lists are only as updated as you allow them to be.

How far in advance should we start planning our reunion?
Really it’s as far in advance as possible. We suggest at least 6 months to a year. This will allow time for your class to form a reunion committee, find any “lost” alumni, reach out to classmates to determine dates, times and locations, book a location and arrange any entertainment/food/activities, and allow time for classmates to make travel arrangements.

Helpful Hints

These are a few helpful hints we have received from the leaders of previous reunions throughout the years. Not all of these may be necessary for your reunion, but they are great tips that may make reunion planning easier for you:
• Use the Timothy website to post announcements about your reunion.
• Create an email address for your class at a free e-mail site such as Yahoo or Hotmail. This allows for easy communication when planning and receiving RSVP's.
• Create name badges with senior class photos so everyone is more easily recognizable.
• While the actual “reunion” should be your main event, consider having “sub” events, especially for those traveling from out of town. Golf outings, family playtimes at a local park, or just a meet up time at a local restaurant for a low-key get-together the night before might be a great option to make your reunion a weekend long affair.
• Keep in mind that everyone wants to go to their reunion to see classmates and catch up. Sometimes keeping it simpler is better than throwing an event as elaborate as prom – not to mention easier on the reunion committee!
