It’s AL/TJ Football Tailgate Time!

Cool fall evenings, the sound of crisp leaves crackling underfoot, and FOOTBALL! Join the Alumni Association Friday, September 29th, at the annual AL/TJ football tailgate event.

This year’s tailgate starts September 29th at 5:30 P.M. Just look for the large tent in the parking lot of Wilson Jr. High next to CB Stadium. The party will be moved inside the school in case of bad weather.

So if you’ve missed a class reunion and would like to reconnect with old friends, or just really love a good game (and hot dogs), now is the time!

$5 gets you in the door. All alumni are welcome to attend, regardless of membership. So be sure to tell all of your friends and RSVP! Dust off your old yearbook, grab a camera and bring your appetite -- we’ll see you there!
