“The Sixties: Reminisce, Reconnect, Relax”

If you were a student, faculty member, or administrator during the Pioneer Years of Michigan Christian College (1959-1969), you are invited to a reunion at Montgomery Bell State Park in Burns, TN (near Nashville) October 12-14, 2012.

Reunion Schedule

The reunion will begin at 10:00 Friday morning, October 12, and continue through Sunday morning. This reunion will focus on fellowship with each other and with God. Several nonstructured sessions for visiting will be included as well as opportunities for sightseeing. An informational mailing from Rochester College with a registration form and schedule were mailed in July. Please contact Larry Stewart at lstewart@rc.edu if you did not receive this mailing.

Class of 1962 Luncheon

Gary and Nancy Parisi and Sue (Gentry) Wasson have rented a villa at Montgomery Bell State Park for the reunion and are planning to host the class of 1962 for a luncheon to celebrate the group’s 50th anniversary. The luncheon is planned for noon on Saturday during an open slot in the reunion schedule. Each class member is asked to contribute $5 toward the expenses. Please let the hosts know if you plan to attend by sending a note to Sue at dwasson@citlink.net.
