Clear blue skies and warm weather provided the perfect backdrop for our first All Alumni Reunion held on Saturday, August 23, 2008 at the Ontelaunee Park in New Tripoli. "This is absolutely great" was just one of the common accolades that attendees were quick to share as more than 350 alumni, staff members and friends of Northwestern Lehigh joined together for a day filled with fun, laughter and camaraderie.

An abundant picnic-style buffet, snacks and endless refreshments were available throughout the day. A festive and enjoyable afternoon continued well into the evening as alumni and friends shared past memories and forged new ones.

SOB and the Dr. Jim Band [alumni Jim Bittner '82, Rick Statkus '85, Dave Geiger '84, Jim Peters '84, Mike Geiger '78, Amy (Geiger) Tacker '83, Sue (Geiger) Bell '83, Allen Schafer, and Randy Tacker] kept the energy and excitement going throughout the evening. Dr. Jim's local spin of a southern rock classic "Sweet Home New Tripoli" had many people on their feet, singing, dancing and just having a great time as the majestic sunset held onto the horizon.

As the time seemed to fade quickly again, questions of "When are we doing this again?" quickly arose. Without a doubt, our first All Alumni Reunion was a huge success...and the next one will be even better!
