Class of 1997 to hold 10-year reunion
The class of 1997 will hold its reunion the last weekend in July this year, July 27-28.
The reunion will include a tour of Union High School, 6636 S. Mingo Road, a picnic at Leake Park and a gala party at the Renaissance Hotel.
The tour of the High School will start promptly at 10 a.m. in the gym area. The tour will take about an hour and a half and will include a tour of the new Union Multipurpose Activity Center, 6638 S. Mingo Road. Participants in the tour are asked to park in the high school parking south of the High School adjacent to the UMAC and enter through the south ramp. Since the tour is on a Saturday and the building is normally closed, participants must arrive on time because the outside doors will be locked once the tour is started.
The class of 1997 will hold its picnic at noon until 3 p.m. at Leake Park. The gala will be at 7 p.m. and run until 10 p.m.
For more information, please contact class member Thomas Hale.
