We are all going to gather at 'The Dungeon' to give everyone an opportunity to tour the pool, share some "war stories", and to reinforce old memories in the place where we spent so much of our time. We'll make our way to Rock & Reilly's from there.
Thanks to our event sponsors, this non-refundable event is only $30 which covers the food and 1 drink.
