For our 45th Reunion, your hard working planning committee has decided to “go lite” with a set of smaller more casual events for us to reconnect through. We’ll be back for our 50th with a more formal set of events for your reuniting pleasure.
The weekend for our 45th reunion is this fall, Friday, October 1 – Sunday, October 3.
Payments are only required for the golf and Underground Railroad tours, all other events have no required payment. However! We strongly encourage you to buy food, drink (and bowling!) at the venues that have agreed to host us.
All events are open to alumni of any Ann Arbor High School, Class of 1976, and their friends. Look for the Registration form to sign up for events, so we know who you are.
