55th Friday Night Get Together

55th Friday Night Get Together
Reserve 22 Restaurant at the Village Links of Glen Ellyn
Friday, Sept. 26, 2025


Our Friday night casual Get Togethers have always been great fun!
This Reunion's 55th gathering of GBW'70 class was fantastic. We had great food, drinks, appetizers, and conversation with classmates. We caught up with friends we haven’t seen since the 50th Reunion, last week, or that last day in English class in 1970!
