Thank You

Following three years of being unable to facilitate events, 2022 held great promise. Not only was the Committee able to host our scheduled reunions, but also additional reunions to compensate for the loss of previous years due to Covid. The committee is currently planning for an expansion of events for 2023, so please keep your ear to the ground for the exciting opportunities ahead. If you would like to have a say in the way in which we conduct our reunions, please follow the link below -
