If you’ve ever volunteered to organize a high-school reunion, chances are, you’ll decline the next time around. More than a decade ago, Cyndi Hoertel turned that thankless chore into a business opportunity, creating Varsity Reunion Services (314-647-6565, varsityreunions.com), a one-stop shop for high-school reunion planning. The service will send out invitations and handle RSVPs; schedule the venue, entertainment, and photographer...even suggest themes. “Our job is to do only the parts you don’t want to do,” Hoertel says. In our minds, she’s downplaying her role, calling herself “just a resource for ideas,” rather than the lifesaver she actually is.
