Third Annual Summer Picnic Scheduled!!
It's hard to argue with success so the Reunion Committee has just scheduled our Third Annual Summer Picnic! Save the date: July 14, 2012. See you there!!
Second Annual Summer Picnic Great Success
June 11 marked the day of our Second Annual Summer Picnic at South Park. This year we had about 65 attendees who enjoyed an afternoon of conversation, reminiscing, burgers and beer. The Committee is already looking toward picking a date for next summer. If you would like to provide input about what dates would work best for you, please email me at:

We hope that you can make it next year as begin our countdown toward 2013 and 45th year Reunion.
We have some photos for you to look at from this year's picnic. The first set was provided by Marc Rosenberg. They can be accessed at: Picnic Photos
