East Troy Alumni Gathering and Picnic
Saturday, June 28
You're invited to arrive around 10:00 AM and enjoy a full day of fun and fellowship with classmates and friends. Relax by the lakefront—just keep in mind that a fishing license may be required depending on your age. Grills and beverages will be provided, so all you need to bring is your favorite meat to cook and a dish to share.
In the afternoon, gather for a special Mission Presentation at 3:00 PM, followed by Mass at 5:00 PM in the upper boathouse. Please note that John Lauber has put his ice cream shop up for sale, so our annual ice cream adventure may not be possible this year.
For those who wish to extend the experience, the front hill is open for overnight camping. Bring along your tent, camper, and sleeping gear—and if you’re staying the night, please bring a little extra food to enjoy together at Sunday breakfast.
Hope to see you there!
