Reunion Details for WT Woodson Class of 1974 – Target Month – October 2024

Home

Updated Reunion Plans – Revised Dates – October 3rd – 5th, 2024

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Charlie Oppenheim, we now have the Official 2024 High School Football Schedule. We are pulling in the W.T. Woodson Class of 74 Reunion “one week earlier”. As a result, the Official Reunion Picnic will now start at 4:00 PM Saturday, October 5, 2024

If you want to attend the main event which is the Saturday October 5th Cookout/Picnic, mail a check in the amount of $50 per person made payable to Tom Meike.

Mail the check to :
Tom Meike
3118 Washington Blvd.
P.O. Box 101593
Arlington, VA 22210

We selected the outdoor venue/picnic option for two main reasons. To accommodate a larger number of people and keep the price down in order to encourage people to fly-in from the west coast. We have reserved both the large picnic pavilion and also the Chapter Field House as a “fall back” in the event of inclement weather. 

Lastly, “Spread the Word” about the 50th Class of 1974 Reunion to your fellow classmates!!!  Approximately 450 of the folks we went to school with are still MIA, i.e. we have no current contact information on them at all!

Thank you and we hope to see you there!

Ron Vecchioni, Charlie Oppenheim, Tom Mieke and Karl Schultz
