Facebook v.s. Classmate Chats

To Add Your Event to either Friday Get Togethers or Sunday Gatherings:

Make your plans - make sure you have all the details:

• What do you want to do - EX: visit Augie & Rays, morning walk, golf game - anything really
• Where do you want to gather your classmates?
• What time do you want everyone to arrive and when do you expect to return?
• What if any is the admission fee?
• Is there a limit - for example only 4 people will fit in your car - someone else will need to drive if more than 4 sign up

Once you have all the details of what you want to do:

• Click on Classmate Chats on the left (vertical) navigation bar
• Click on the Chat you want - either Friday Get Togethers or Saturday Gatherings
• Click Post a Reply to start your event tread
• Type in all the details you've gathered and post
