Please read up on the details by clicking the title of this event. We did this in 2015 for our 45th reunion and it was enjoyed by those who attended. I'm sure most of us don't know our home town as well as we think we might.

Elicit Brewing Meetup Sunday - Anytime you like from 4:00 PM on.

Map Link:165 Adams Street, Manchester, CT 06040

Phone: 860-791-8440

Classes of 1970 and 1971 combined. We return to Elicit Brewing for this event of food, drink, socializing, football, and likelly some music/performance by classmates. We're working on an "open mic" type of event...there's more work to do but it's starting to get some traction. We've met there for reunion committee meetings and food over the last couple of years. It is a modern brew pub with what appears to be a creative and eclectic menu. It's an informal event from start to finish.  The idea would be to gather there anytime from 4:30 PM on but that is just a suggestion.  We'll get more details for you as soon as possible.

Monday, October 17
