New Registration Price!!!!

Posted by admin on April 22nd, 2007

Change to the Fee Structure:

The organizing committee has tightened up its budget and is passing along the savings to you.

The registration for alumni has been changed from $40 to $20.

For those who have paid the old rate, you will automatically be credited in coupons (Mac Bucks) that can be redeemed or spent on souvenirs and refreshments.

WHAT’S COOKIN’ SATURDAY NIGHT???

Posted by admin on April 22nd, 2007

Donald K Donald will be here Saturday night…how’s THAT for party?! So, get out your dancin’ shoes folks, you’re gonna need ‘em.

And too, bring your photos and be prepared to schmooze at one of the many tables being set out for that very reason. Classes are overlapping and old hometown denizens are exchanging memories as we speak.

Beat the May 4th registration deadline folks! Take advantage of the new and reduced registration fees. Time is slipping away and it would be a real shame to miss this one.
