Also, on Saturday night of the Reunion (June 16), there will be an Open Mic event held (the same as occurred at the Top of the Hop at our 10th reunion). The event at our 10th was a huge success, and many of our classmates showed wonderful talent, either singing, playing music, reading poetry, doing standup comedy, etc. If you'd like to share your artistic and performing talent please contact Rick Joyce '85 at Richard.a.joyce@ac.com or (609) 497-9365.
