CJ Parent Weekly

June 7, 2012

Greetings!

Have you heard what all the buzz is about? For the first time ever, Chaminade Julienne will welcome back hundreds of alumni at once for Reunion Weekend, held on campus next Friday and Saturday, June 15 -16.

To make this massive community celebration a success, we need a little help from friends and current CJ families like you. The festivities begin Friday morning with a golf outing followed by our evening kick-off event, a Taste of CJ, on Blue Green Field. On Saturday, activities include tennis matches, a special luncheon, a family fun gathering and a concluding Mass.

The alumni office seeks parent-volunteers to serve as:

greeters (Friday and Saturday)
parking attendants (Friday night)
food and beverage runners (Friday night), and
Liturgy helpers (Saturday afternoon)

All volunteers receive a free Reunion Weekend t-shirt for helping out, and will have the opportunity to meet and mingle with alumni ranging in graduation years from 1947 to 2007!

If you'd like to be a part of this historic weekend, please contact the alumni office at 461-3740 x201.

Thanks for your support,
