Reunion Pricing

Your reunion planning committee is hard at work finalizing the plans for what will be a terrific 25th Reunion.  We have put together a combination of exciting programs and great food (with options for everyone).  Once you check out the program, we think you will agree that it looks to be a terrific weekend.

We are also putting the final touches on our pricing, and wanted to give you an update.

Before we get to what the pricing will be, let us explain a few things:

1.  The Association of Yale Alumni (AYA) provides invaluable assistance throughout the year, especially during reunion years.  It also coordinates the University-wide programming that is offered at reunion.  However, AYA is not in a position to provide any financial subsidy to defray the cost of reunion, nor do we receive financial support from any other part of the University.  We have heard some talk about the University kicking in so we can have a nice dinner on Saturday night.  There is no such gift.  The reunion is essentially a self-funded endeavor.

2.  There are substantial fixed costs.  The tent, the chairs, the bar, the music, the audio visual.  All of it is fixed and expensive.  These pieces drive a substantial portion of our costs and there is not much (short of a donations from members of the class) that we can do about that.

3.  We have squeezed as many pennies as we can and still provide everyone with great food and a rich offering of activities so everyone has a great time.

Now the wind up is over, here is the pitch:  A full adult reunion -- Thursday night through Sunday morning -- will cost $425 per adult and $200 per child.  This includes all meals, drinks and programs, but not Camp Bulldog (which is extra).  Saturday-only will be $275 per adult and $120 per child.

One final note: financial aid will be available.  AYA handles this -- none of your classmates will ever know if you ask for financial assistance to attend.  We want everyone to come, so please do not let price be an impediment.
