60 Year Reunion

Our 60 Year Reunion plans are being finalized now.  It will be held on the last weekend of September but we need a head count for the Holiday Inn by April 1st!     -   IMPORTANT....
Please take a take a minute to express your preferences by completing the 60 Year Reunion Survey, before the April 1st deadline. This is needed to help us get an accurate head count, menu choice(s), venue type, etc. 
Additional information will be posted on our BLOG page as we complete our plans.

34th Monthly Zoom Meeting

March 18, 2023 Top: Stanley Korona, Reid Simmons. Bottom: Carol Wells Huck, Jerry Giese. Bill Nolan was with us at the start but had to leave early.
Five of us gathered in the lounge for one session.  Unfortunately, Bill had to leave early and Jerry showed up shortly thereafter.  The 60 year reunion was briefly discussed.  It will be held at the Carol Stream Holiday Inn on Saturday, September 30 which happens to co-inside with WeGo's Homecoming weekend.  The planning committee is finalizing an email to the class that should go out soon.
Come join the conversation at our next meeting on April 15 at 2:00 pm Central.

It was Great to be Together Again! 

Our 20th Annual Winter Event was held at Pal Joey's in Batavia on Super Bowl Saturday.  We've been holding this event since before our 50 year reunion in 2013.  While we missed the last two winter luncheons due to COVID, it was great to be together under one roof again.  15 of us enjoyed pizza, pasta, salad and conversation.

After lunch, Tom Overton lead a brief discussion about plans for a possible summer celebration of this, our 60th year since HS graduation.  
 
Thanks to Tom Aitken, Barbara Alm Mazzochi, Ron & Wayne Anderson-Bauer, Don & Diane Miller Evans, Stanley Korona, Dick Mann, Bill & Kay Nolan, Tom & Sandy Overton, Reid Simmons, Carol Wells Huck & Larry for an enjoyable afternoon.   Also, thanks to Richard Smith who stopped by for the pre-lunch conversion but was not able to stay for the meal.
