It is hard to believe that we last ventured through the hallowed halls of Mendel Catholic fifty years ago!  It is time to revisit our old haunts with a reunion event designed to rekindle some great memories and renew some old friendships.

A group of your fellow classmates has been working hard to finalize a reunion event on Saturday, September 8, 2018 from 1 PM to 5 PM at Argus Brewery, 11314 S. Front Street in Pullman (about 4 blocks from the Mendel campus.)  Argus Brewery is a mini craft brewery with many options located in the old horse stables for the Schlitz Brewery. Informal brewery tours will be possible. See reverse side for more information. The reunion will be held under a tent next to the Brewery. The reunion cost includes Argus Beer, assorted soft drinks, snacks and an outstanding barbeque dinner.

The reunion will also include an optional 1 1/2-hour tour of the old Pullman neighborhood, including a lap around the Mendel Catholic [now Gwendolyn Brooks] campus and down the “Ave” starting at 11:30 am and leaving from the Argus Brewery.

Nine holes of golf at Burnham Woods in the morning are planned, if enough people are interested. The golf cost will be tee fees plus carts; indicate Y on the form if you are interested and we will get back with details.

Everyone who attends the reunion will receive a Mendel 1968 reunion cap and an Argus Beer Mug, which are alone worth the price of admission!

The cost for our reunion, not including the tour nor the golf outing, is only $60, if paid in advance or $75 on the day of the event.  Please use the enclosed reply form to let us know if you will or will not be joining us. Checks should be made out to the trustworthy, Alan Hartmann. Please respond no later than August 20.

Also see enclosed information on the annual alumni golf outing and look for information in the future on the Mendel All-Class reunion in 2019.

From the attached photos of the Argus brewery venue, you will remember [fondly] what the neighborhood was like way back when.  The customized, optional tour will definitely bring back some fond memories of the “good old days.”
