News

Thanks to everyone who made our 50th class reunion a success! 113 classmates and 50 guests attended the main event at the Bridgewood Resort Hotel.

Tornado Tree Recovery Program

At the reunion, Cathy Spears announced that she would match up to $500 in donations by classmates to the Tornado Tree Recovery Program offered by Apple Blossoms for Appleton, Inc. to help replace trees lost to the devastating tornado of 7/27/2026. Several projects are listed on their PayPal page, so if you decide to donate, be sure to indicate:

The Tornado Tree Recovery Program,
The municipality you would like your donation to go to (Menasha, Neenah, Fox Crossing or Appleton), and
Cathy Spears.

10/3/2026 update: Cathy has already matched the $500. Thank you for your generous support!
