It is so good to hear there are so many who are ready to attend a Reunion.  The mini reunion in Nashville certainly sparked more interest in having a JHS Association Tri-Annual Reunion and I know the 2023 Reunion did the same.

Naomi Young East is our Host for the upcoming 2025 Reunion in Myrtle Beach, SC and it is time to find a Reunion Host for the JHS Reunion in 2027 or 2028.  As we all know, seeing friends from our high school days is always a great time, and it makes us want to see each other more often.  Living in Japan is a time in our lives we will never forget, so lets start thinking about a date after the 2025 Reunion for our next reunion as well as a new location to give those in other parts of the country an opportunity to experience the thrills of a JHS Reunion.     

DO YOU WANT TO HOST A  REUNION??

To have a Reunion we must have JHS members volunteer to host at a location of their choice.

Please read the Bylaws that set out how it should be done.   Be sure you have joined the JHS website so you will receive emails regarding future Reunions and other information abount your classmates.  Classmates who have joined are able to contact each other through the JHS website without disclosing their email address.

REUNION PROPOSALS 

The deadline to send in Reunion Proposals for the 2027 or 2028 Reunion is 90 days prior to the next scheduled (2025 Reunion).    Any of your current JHS Association Board Members would be happy to answer any questions you may have about hosting a Reunion.  Click "Contact Us" on the sidebar of this website and ask all of your questions and leave a phone number for us to call you.

So far no one has contacted the JHS Board stating that they would be willing to host a future JHS Reunion at a location of their choice.  

SO ...

If you would like to have Reunion in 2027 or 2028, please let your JHS Board know and volunteer to be the Host of that Reunion.   

REUNION FUNDING

Also to clear up any misinterpretation of information regarding the funding of reunions, the JHS Association does not fund mini reunions. The money we have is to be used for Tri-Annual All Class Reunions as set out in the Bylaws. The funding of these reunions is to give the host money to cover deposits to hold rooms and other expenses, but those deposits are only a loan and must be returned to the JHS Association after the Tri-Annual Reunion within a specified time.  

The reasoning for the JHS Association NOT funding mini reunions was because it could open the door to quickly depleting what funds we have for our main purpose: the Tri-Annual Reunions for all graduation years and anyone who attended JHS.  

We will be happy to share our knowledge of hosting a Tri-Annual Reunion with the volunteers who are interested in hosting a JHS Reunion. 

Looking forward to 2025 and future Reunions!
