Our committee met, and discussed the various options for getting together in 2025. We decided to stick with what's worked in the past, and gather for our 53rd West High Class Reunion next August. So here's the proposed schedule:

Friday, August 22nd, (5-10 PM): Meet at the Memorial Union Terrace. 

·      5 PM: We’ll meet on the 2nd floor, above the “Sunset Lounge” (https://union.wisc.edu/assets/Terrace-map-webPDF-22-0389-copy.pdf). 

·      This is the same location where we met each year since the 50th reunion. This year we’re in discussions with our westside Edgewood classmates, to join us at the Terrace.

·      You can locate it by entering the Terrace at the far north end of Park Street, and taking the stairs that are to your right, to the second story level.  

Saturday, August 23rd, (2-8 PM) Meet at Garner Park, at 333 S Rosa Rd. 

·      2-5 PM: This year we’ll gather again at 2 PM for pickleball and other games (e.g., lawn darts, volleyball, badminton, cornhole, croquet, board games, cards, etc.)

·      5-6 PM: The picnic will begin at 5 PM. This year, we’re planning to provide food (a variety of sub sandwiches, chips, cookies, and non-alcoholic beverages) to those who RSVP. If you don’t RSVP, you’re welcome to bring your own food and beverages. Please note that it’s BYOB for alcoholic beverages. 

·      6 PM: Group photos.

·      6-8 PM: Open mic, door prizes, toasting our deceased classmates, etc. 

We'll send out an RSVP later, so stay tuned.

Please let us know if you’re interested in helping. We are always looking for more ideas, and people to help with organizing the games or other outings that weekend (e.g., Farmers’ Market, Arboretum walk, meeting at a local tavern). 

And don't forget:
