After reading this book, "The Reunion Planner", I sent them the following email, which I believe tells the most honest review that I could give this book.

"Thank you very much for taking the time and energy to create The Reunion Planner book, software, and this web site. I checked out your book from the Bettendorf Public Library. I honestly believe that anyone who tries to plan a very successful reunion without your book is crazy. It has everything you need. I was so impressed that I visited this web site just so I could order the book and the software for myself."

For those of you who have not read this book it covers family reunions, high school reunions, and even military reunions. The Reunion Planner gives you step-by-step instructions on how to plan your reunion. It starts with what you should be doing about one year before the reunion and concludes with the follow-up work after a reunion that will make it easier for you or someone else to plan the next reunion.

"The Library Journal" just gave "The Reunion Planner" book and software program a rave review. It ended with "The Bottom Line: Anyone planning a reunion should get their hands on "The Reunion Planner" as soon as possible: it will save you enormous amounts of time and effort and ensure a successful event. A wonderful resource, enthusiastically recommended for all library collections and individuals with reunions in mind. Libraries need two copies--one for reference and one to circulate."

THIS BOOK PROVIDED ME WITH SOME GREAT IDEAS. I HAD NEVER PLANNED A REUNION BEFORE. THIS BOOK MADE IT VERY EASY. THE SOFTWARE IS GREAT TOO!

I bought the book used with the software -- I had a terrible time attempting to load the software -- it happened to be an older version and never would load.... so I bought a new book with software through Amazon.com and that version worked wonderfully..... I loaded 770+ names and addresses into the database software and the software printed my mailing labels. The book was great and gave me the information I needed - it couldn't force my fellow classmates to attend the reunion though! The one thing I would stress to anyone planning a reunion is to get a source of money up front -- a slush fund from the previous reunion or a Class officer willing to help with postage and reservation money to secure your facility banquet room..... that was the worst hump for me. We did have a successful reunion though -- with only 56 of the 770+ former students --- Besides the book I also used the website Classmates.com --- I was the reunion contact and that enabled me to send 'alerts' to all classmates and involved me creating only one E-Mail message and then sent it out to all the classmates in my class...... that was a great help along with the book!!!

The Reunion Planner has a lot of good ideas for many kinds of reunions. This version of the book is not the current version. The software included with the book would not work with Windows Xp. I called the publisher. The customer service manager offered to send the latest disk free of charge. They hope that we will buy additional products from them in the coming months. When I received the updated disk the next day, the software worked splendidly. Since I bought a used book, this glitch is not surprising and acceptable. I would have paid considerably more for a new book.
