THANKS TO ALL WHO MADE THE REUNION A SUCCESS!
The 2005 All-School Reunion –
Five Days in ’05
– included all the favorite events of past reunions, plus a few extra activities
during the July 6-10, 2005 event.
More than 1500 people registered and/or participated during the Reunion. Special thanks go to everyone who volunteered their
time and talents during this successful event. We hope you enjoyed the
2005 Reunion!
