Most Asked Question by Reunion Organizers:
How can the Roosevelt High School Foundation help with our Class Reunion?
Answer:
The Roosevelt Foundation can assist reunion organizers in a variety of ways. First, we can print or email a copy of your class names and addresses to you. This list must be used for reunion planning purposes only, and a designated class contact(s) must be named to receive the material. The list we provide are names we have received from you, the organizers, following your previous class reunions. As a service to reunion organizers the Foundation continually updates mailing addresses as alums move around so that each time your class has a reunion the list we provide will be in great shape!
In addition, we can provide a link from the Foundation website which directs classmates to your reunion’s web pages or to the organizer’s contact information. The Foundation offers tip sheets including details about Des Moines hotels, restaurants, and event locations and can serve as a liaison for setting up events with local event planners. One of the activities we recommend and coordinate is a tour of good old Roosevelt. Many reunion groups have enjoyed these guided tours over the years, and plenty of time is given to wander the halls on your trip down memory lane. We will see that the Rider Shoppe is open so you can pick up Roosevelt souvenir clothing and other items. Finally we provide a "starter" fund for classes who need a loan to initiate the Class Reunion process, i.e. mailings, newsletters; etc. All we ask is that the loan be repaid within at least 30 days after your reunion takes place. Photography services are also available.
