Things to consider changing next time:
1 Take a group picture early in the evening before folks leave
2 Have the Heritage Hall event Friday night and move the golf to Saturday afternoon followed by BBQ at the PGCC.
3 The volume of music makes it difficult to talk to friends. Consider background music or "unplugged" music.
4 Consider more frequent mini-reunions for groups within the class; band, yearbook, sports. etc.
5 Drop Heritage Hall in favor of a larger single space 
6 Turn down the music volume (mentioned multiple times)
7 Eliminate the policemen - this can't be done due to city laws
8 Organized game similar to speed dating for couples as a mixer to get folks talking to others
Things NOT to change:
1 The Memorial Service
2 Casual mixer
3 Pictures on the name tags
4 Heritage Hall location
5 Golf Tournament
6 Contact more classmates --- (I would love to get suggestions about how to be more successful)
