For those who could not attend, your absence was felt and we missed you dearly. For those who DID? We SO appreciate your participation. It was such a special night reconnecting with each other and picking up where we left off twenty years ago. We've always felt that our graduating class was unique/special and our twenty year reunion was a testament to that fact.

We'd like to say a final THANK YOU to our reunion sponsors/vendors:

Martin Environmental
Mr Coffee Bean
Rachel Tate Real Estate
Stephen Holland - President & Owner of Property Champions Real Estate
