Registration

Can I cancel my registration? What is the refund policy?

Anyone can cancel their registration with their unique confirmation code which will be sent via email upon registering. Registration fees are non-refundable. Individual meals can be refunded up to Monday, August 24. After that date, any refunds will be decided by the Class Reunion Chair 4-6 weeks after the reunion. 

What does the registration fee include?

Registration fees consist of three parts:  

a. The User Experience which includes the Howitzer photo nametags & class branded lanyards.
b. A Custom Swag Bag selected by your Class Reunion Committee. 
c. Overhead that includes items that every attendee will pay for as determined by your Class Reunion Committee – such as bus transportation, rentals, printing, audio/visual services, and WPAOG’s Full-Service Event Support fee. Meals are not part of the registration fee and are priced as optional events you can select and choose to attend. 

Note: There is a nominal credit card fee charged to the Main Registrant that is included in the Registration fee.

How much does it cost to attend a reunion?

The cost of the Reunion is determined by the Class Reunion Committee. Graduates can expect to pay between $400-$700 per person (not including air fare, rental car, game tickets, hotel) if attending all reunion events. If bringing a guest to all events, costs can vary between $800-$1,400 total. All costs are dependent on the type of reunion activity and the price is set by the Class Reunion Committee.

How many guests can I bring?

There is no limit to the number of guests you can bring to the reunion, but there is a maximum number of guests you can register on the event website which is up to 30 individuals. 

Can I bring children? Why is there not a registration type for children ages 4 & under?

Children can attend most reunion events, if not all. Events are determined by the Class Reunion Chair. There is not a registration fee for children 4 & under, but they are welcome to attend.

What does WPAOG’s Full-Service Event Support fee include?

WPAOG's Full-Service Event Support includes email communication, hotel contract negotiation, vendor coordination, menu planning, registration management, program design, and the staffing and execution of the Reunion. The Full-Service Event Support fee serves to enhance the programs and services WPAOG provides to the Long Gray Line. The tasks provided by WPAOG are operated as a service, and not for profit. 

Dietary & Special Needs

I have a dietary restriction/food allergy.

During the registration process, you will be able to select from a limited drop-down menu a list of allergy restrictions that some of our vendors are able to accommodate. If you don’t see your preference on the list, please make alternate accommodations for your meal. Also, please note that if you select an allergy from the list, a separate meal may not be provided, but we will make every effort to ensure your preference is included in the overall reunion menu.

I use a walker / wheelchair / or have difficulty walking. Is there a place to indicate this?

Please enter any special needs in the Special Requirements section of the registration process. If you are a full-time wheelchair user, please enter this information here. If you or a family member needs a wheelchair during the reunion, please arrange for this on your own. Also, remember to bring your handicap decal for your car if you are planning to drive. WPAOG will review the information and discuss any special accommodation needed with the Class Reunion planning committee and the Class Reunion officers.
