(Frequently Asked Questions)
PREFACE
All committee members welcome your questions, either via telecon or email. The reasoning is simple ... we believe the more one knows about this event, the more attendance, and subsequent fun, we will all have. Ask away.
1) Briefly, can you describe the event? It's somewhat like an individual five-year or ten-year class reunion that lasts three days, and includes all graduating classes (1960- 1969) from Harding and West Mecklenburg.
2) When is it? The third weekend in October, although many folks arrive early and / or stay later.
3) What do you do if you arrive early? Pretty much whatever you want to do or would normally do at the beach. Since Ducks is the HQ for the event, many people use that as a place to got to "see what's up". This is really a fun time and when one is likely to run into an ole' buddy.
4) Where is it held? Ocean Drive, S.C. (Duck's, to be more specific)
5) How long does it last? Basically three nights and three days. Thursday afternoon until Saturday night .
6) Why OD? Many of the 60's graduates went to "the beach" to celebrate major events (like graduating or summer coming on, ya' know). OD was the meeting place to see your classmates, watch the crowd, shaggers, etc. No, I won't elaborate on "etc".
7) How much does it cost? The price for the next event will be announced soon.
8) Where do attendees stay? There are several hotels in the area. The Avista, located approx. 3 blocks north of Ducks, has proven to be the most popular, and is offering discounted rates for attendees. (Click Here for the Avista link) Many other hotels are within a short drive.
9) What do people wear? Casual clothes, appropriate for the current weather (shorts to fleece).
10) Are there planned events? A schedule of events will be published soon.
11) What do people do between events? Whatever. For those without specific plans, there's always an informal gathering at Ducks. 12) My sister from Iowa is visiting us that week. Can she come? She's welcome as your guest.
13) I graduated HHS class of '59, can I come? By all means.
14) How can I find out more? By checking out the various pages on this website (http://www.hardingwestreunion.myevent.com), or by sending your questions to us through the "Contact Us" page.
