Maybe the easiest way to get the word out on your Homecoming or reunion activitites—in addition of Facebook and other social media—is to POST THE EVENTS ON GENEVA PATCH!
Do you have a 10-year, 15-year, 25-year, 35-year, 50-year reunion coming? Post your event so that others know when and where to show up. Include a photo and send me an e-mail at rickn@patch.com, and I'll make sure your event gets prime real estate on the home page.
Hover the cursor over the "Events" tab, then "Add an Event."
Maybe someone you know or love was named Homecoming queen.
Or perhaps someone from the class of 1977 traveled from Cucamongo to get to your reunion event.
You get the idea. Remember to send rickn@patch.com a note so I can give it some proper attention.
Announcement categories include "Thank You," "Social Notes," "Births," "Death Notices," "Engagements," "Weddings," "Honor Roll," "School Awards," "Volunteer Notes," "Promotion" and much more—all FREE—so keep up with what your friends are doing through Geneva Patch.

OK, maybe you don't want that picture of your felllow alumni wearing a lampshade on his head. But you do want to share the photo story of your reunion with the rest of the world. Add photos to "Geneva Pics & Clips." Then email Rick at rickn@patch.com, and he'll feature it for you.
