         Online Connection to Meeting Lost Friends in Person

    WHAT:   Invitation to the hosted bar and gourmet food
            reception/party. Over 200 high schools are represented at
            the first ClassMates.com (http://ClassMates.com) reunion
            party.  "Decades of Memories" will be held at Studio 54 in
            the MGM Grand Hotel. Event attendees include those making
            special connections and rendezvous to transcend the online
            experience into a real life nostalgia event. The media
            reception and event features a hosted bar and food, live
            music from The Zippers, along with celebrity yearbook
            contests, prizes and a special appearance from a mystery

            and admission to the reception/party upon presenting
            credentials or by RSVP (strongly recommended).

    WHO:    Graduates from the 70s dominate the guest list from cities
            all across the United States. Guests with special personal
            connection stories are expected. High school connections
            through ClassMates.com include marriages, finding lost
            friends, sharing time period memories and making new
            friends.

    WHEN:   Saturday, July 15th, 7pm-10pm, continuing on to 4am.

    WHERE:  MGM Grand Hotel's Studio 54 in Las Vegas, 7pm-10pm,

    WHY:    The ClassMates.com event kicks off 'reunion season'
            nationwide. The hundreds of people attending share a
            common connection by being a part of the same era; no
            matter which high school they attended.

      CEO Randy Conrads says, "People don't need to wait every 5 or 10
years for their own reunion. There are many benefits to party guests
when the largest alumni community Web site stages a fun party. Our
site visitors and members wanted to go beyond strong online
connections, so it was time for ClassMates.com to help them hookup and
celebrate in a bigger way."
      Attendees expected in Vegas include a pair that reunited online
and were married, and many same year graduates from different schools.
There is a group of cross-country friends who haven't seen each other
in 35 years planning to meet at the ClassMates.com Studio 54 party.
