Welcome
As President, I greet and welcome you to the Alton Friends of the 60’s/Alton Black Alumni webpage.
Plans are in the making for another spectacular Labor Day Weekend Homecoming / Reunion event. It’s hard to believe, but this is our 10 year anniversary! Over the years, we’ve had such a good time planning these events, and your feedback has told us that we are doing a good job. We have encouraged alumni from later years to join our organization because it is our hope that this reunion will become a fixture in the community and we want it to long outlive all of us. These younger members have provided new ideas and energy.
We will kick off the weekend with a ‘Meet & Greet’ party event on board the Argosy Casino. It will be a fun time to network and re-connect with friends and classmates who will be coming home from near and far. On Saturday the main event will be a dinner dance in the Commons at Lewis and Clark Community College. As a wrap-up to the weekend, on Sunday we’re planning a Family style ‘Picnic in the Park’.
The 2014 reunion planning committee is working diligently to keep the cost as affordable as possible while maintaining a quality reunion experience. We strongly encourage everyone to register and pay your fees as early as economically possible. This will allow the committee to plan better all events and activities; and to have sufficient working capital for venue deposits and other upfront expenses. This all goes toward ensuring that everyone has the best experience possible for a successful 2014 Reunion.
We encourage you to check out our website and follow us on Facebook. That will enable you to access registration information, and track events/activities leading up reunion weekend. We currently have more than 440 members in our FB group; and we are hopeful that 440 plus friends and classmates attend reunion weekend.
So mark your calendars and a begin spreading the word. Also, we ask that you continue to visit our website to stay current on any changes. Don’t be left out!
Sincerely,
Bonnie McLemore-Fox
