summer 2008	Remember the days of needing to go to the TV lounges to watch cable TV (and all those “90210” viewing parties on Wednesday nights)? Not anymore. Today’s students all have cable TV wired into each dorm room. And the cafeteria? You wouldn’t even recognize the place -- it’s scheduled to be remodeled again this summer. And have you seen the sports facilities? They’re much improved from when we attended Carroll. The football stadium even has lights! If you haven’t been back to John Carroll since graduation, there’s definitely a lot to see. And even if you have been back recently, there are new things happening all the time. That’s why you’re invited back to campus to reconnect and reminisce with your fellow classmates. Experience Reunion Weekend 2008 -- June 20-22! It will be an entertaining weekend for the entire family. There are the always-fun events to attend like the beer tasting and wine tasting seminars, talks given by John Carroll faculty, and full use of the campus facilities. There really is something for everyone. Don’t leave the kids at home either! Camp Carroll has an entire weekend of age-appropriate activities for all the kids. Whether it’s an animal show with Jungle Terry, swimming in the pool, getting your picture done by a caricature artist, or a campus tour for the teenagers, the kids will have a ball. Returning this year will be our popular Family Picnic being held Saturday afternoon. This event has proven to be so successful (we’re the only class to have more than 100 alumni at a class-only event-and we’ve done it twice!) other classes have taken our model and used it for their reunions. If you are attending Reunion for the entire weekend, the picnic is included in your weekend package. If not, it’s only $15 per person -- and kids under 5 are free! You can find out additional information about Reunion at *www.jcu.edu/alumni/reunion08. You’ll be able to see who has already registered and then you can register for Reunion online. ... If you’ve been to Reunion Weekend before, you already know what a great time it is. If you haven’t attended, this is the perfect time to come back and see what you’ve been missing. Our attendance goal is 100 classmates -- achieving this would continue the record-breaking attendance marks for our class! Mark your calendars, schedule that vacation from work, make plans, and be sure to join us at JCU from June 20-22 for Reunion Weekend. Looking forward to seeing you there! Vinnie Close* and Julie Reardon
