Centennial

February 8, 2006

Our Centennial Celebration was held April 29, 2006. It was great to see lots of old friends and to meet many new ones. Thank you for helping us celebrate our rich history – your history – at our centennial celebration.

Our organizing committee created a fantastic line-up of events, giving people a great opportunity to connect with old friends and new. We hope everyone found the day’s events entertaining, educational, and fun!
