Bond is right about setting or at least proposing times and dates. I got in touch with the other alumni from my school here in Sweden who also interview kids interested in going there, and got a quick positive response. But then nothing further happened and I realize I just have to throw out a time/date and see what the others say.
Bond - I am working on the passion thing - thanks for pushing me on that. It'd be good to have a reason to be alive, something beyond the kids.

Luke, you sent a message to the alumni and they responded positively. Um, it's your turn to act now, not theirs. Do you see why?
It's b/c they "accepted the invitation" but then you expected them to set the time and date? That's not how it works.
YOU do that. I suggest you propose two dates, invite input about which is better for the majority, but do NOT expect perfect attendance b/c it'd be very difficult to arrange that.
Get some or most of them to go, and be satisfied with that. After it goes well, other events will take place.
You're probably going to have to be in charge of arrangements for the first few meetings/events. That'll be good for you.
Luke, are you of the belief that your children are the "only" reason you have, "to be alive"? Why is that?
What message did you get from your childhood or marriage that suggested your worth was based only on meeting other's needs?
If there were a lifeboat with limited seating, a la "EE", what would you say in order to justify a seat for you?
Tell us why you belong in the lifeboat Luke. Why should YOU be allowed to live?
(HINT: the answer does not involve your children...) Dig deep...
