The Mendel Alumni Association will celebrate the 50 th Anniversaries of the 1973 Class and the 1974 Class at the All-Class Reunion next Spring of 2024.  However, the Members of the 1973 Class deserve to have their own celebration this year in addition to the All-Class Reunion next year. Therefore, on Thursday August 3, 2023, the Class of 1973 will have the chance to get together as a Class, in some cases for the first time in fifty years, to reminisce and share some Mendel stories and to create some new memories.

The location for the Reunion is Two Brothers Roundhouse Brewery 205 N Broadway in Aurora, IL. The Reunion will be from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM. The Cost is $55 / per person, which includes dinner. There will be a cash bar.  Spouses/significant others are encouraged to attend the Reunion;

If attending from out of town, consider these nearby Holiday Inn Hotels:

Remember that on Wednesday, August 2, 2023, the Mendel Alumni Association will be hosting the Mendel Morning of Reflection Retreat at St. Rita High School Morning of Reflection. You can combine the Retreat and the Reunion to make this a Reunion Week.
