FAQs

Where is the In Memoriam list?
Go to Connect with Classmates page. Click on the link below DECEASED.

What's the dress code for the Saturday party?
The attire is honestly whatever you're comfortable in. We expect a range from jeans & Hawaiian shirts to suits for the guys, from jeans and tank tops to 'party dresses' for the gals, but most will probably be somewhere in between.

I bought tickets for the Saturday dinner dance. Will they be mailed out or do I pick them up at the event?
You will be on the "pre-paid" list at the door.

If I buy my tickets online, is this a secure site?
Yes, it is definitely a secure site! When you fill in the credit card information, you are actually doing so through the secure server of our eCommerce provider, PayJunction. This is not obvious to the user, as the PayJunction page is inside a frame on the page on our website. Like all merchant accounts, PayJunction uses Secure Socket Layer encryption to transfer sensitive information over the internet. If you'd like more information on the technical details of our eCommerce security, please contact our webmaster.

Do you have to be a member of the Class of 68 to attend the Saturday night main event or
other events?
Everyone is welcome! There will be people attending from other classes and people who attended Gunn (or Terman) with this class at some point but who moved or transferred and graduated elsewhere. Friends, spouses, partners, parents and teachers--all are welcome!

When will there be more information about other reunion events?
We are depending on class volunteers to plan the details for the class events and will email updated information to all alumni for whom we have contact information as soon as it is available. For now, please reserve time for the reunion from Friday thru Sunday afternoon, and be sure to buy tickets for Saturday night ASAP!

Will there be a special room price at the Crowne Plaza Cabaña?
The Cabaña is holding a small block of rooms for Gunn reunion attendees for Thursday, October 9th through Monday, October 13th. A special discounted rate is available on a first-come first-served basis, so we recommend calling them ASAP to reserve (650-628-0127; mention "Gunn Reunion, October 11, 2008").

What other hotels or alternatives are available?
Here's are links to a few websites with lots of lodging options in the area. In case you want to search by proximity to the Saturday main event, the Crowne Plaza Cabaña Palo Alto is at 4290 El Camino Real, Palo Alto 94306. Many of these sites allow you to sort by price and/or rating:

www.cheaphotel.com
www.tripadvisor.com
www.hotelscheap.org

RESERVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE because there are many Stanford events scheduled in Palo Alto for that weekend. If you have any suggestions or recommendations, please let us know! 

What is the SATURDAY party/dinner/dance charge going to pay for?
Most of the ticket price is for facilities rental and dinner; the rest will cover event planning, limited postage, website services, and credit card processing fees. Costs are based on an estimated attendance of 150. Committee volunteers have lent their own money to make deposits and get the process started. They hope to be reimbursed! Any money collected over and above our actual out-of-pocket costs will be donated to a Gunn memorial.

What if we only want to attend the Sunday brunch?
That's fine. Attend as many or as few of the reunion events as you want. Nominal fees or donations may be requested on site for other events. If you don't plan to attend the Saturday event but still want to make a donation to help out the reunion efforts, please go to the Buy Tickets page and click on "make a donation."
