#1. The Invitation & Website
The invitation is a 4 page newsletter called the "Bruin Bulletin" - 11 x 17 printed 2 sided in full color and folded twice with an insert of the reservation form and bio form to be mailed back. Of course, our Mascot was the Bruin Bear. Your newsletter would be designed using your Mascot and your school colors. The image above is of the front and back cover only - before it is folded - The mailing label and stamp go on the far left bottom. This is a self mailer. No envelope required. And can be mailed at the normal postal rate. Just weighs 1 ounce! This is something I can put together and print myself since I have a "Kinkos" type set up for my work. We only did the ONE mailing and then the rest of reunion updates were via email. It seemed to have worked since we had twice as many people attend as usual. Your committee only needs to stamp, seal, address and mail them. The info contained in this newsletter can be found on our Wilson website (thru Herb Halling) at:

( "In Memory of... is not included in the Bulletin/Invite. But is in the Alumni Book along with their photo.) I merely copied our '68 Bulletin and made the needed changes for their '69 reunion. I also maintain their website which is also based on our '68 website... updating the Attendance, Missing and In Memory Of pages.
