Greetings Southwest Grads,

Our 40th week-end celebration is now just 10 days away! We have close to 200 who will be attending our reunion on Saturday, July 22 at The Christy Banquet Center. The Christy is located 2 miles west of Interstate 270 and is behind McDonald's in the same plaza as the Antique Mall. We will begin registration around 6:45. The bar will open at 7:00 and the dinner buffet will begin promptly at 7:45. Group pictures will be taken right after dinner and dancing around 9:00! We have extended our evening at the Christy until midnight. We also have some great attendance prizes which have been donated by some of our alumni!
