Friday, August 23rd
Golf at Aldeen 11:30 AM - A perennial favorite, this afternoon of golf has been a fun event for many years. A reunion makes it that much better! There's just something about watching old friends trying to hit a small white ball without spraining something or a trip to the ER.
If you'd like to join in the fun, reach out to Sam Castree at [email protected], or on the Boylan Reunion Facebook page.
Golf is open to all regardless of gender or experience level. Space is limited! Please RSVP by August 1!

Friday Evening - Nothing official is planned, however:
You may find golfers and fellow classmates congregating at The Venetian Club around 7pm, 2180 Elmwood Rd, for a fish fry and beverages in the bar so cheap you'll be thinking it's 1979 again!
Perhaps Pickleball is your schtick. You might find your way to Victory Pickleball, 7003 N Alpine Rd, for a tasty snack and to smack down one of your high school rivals.
The Green and White Game 7:00 - Maybe a trip down memory lane with a Friday night football game? The Mighty Mighty Titans have a scrimmage against the Hurricanes of Woodstock Marian. Watch on as the Titans "blow" the Hurricanes out of the stadium! Sorry, there is NO mixer after the game.
Connect with your classmates on the Boylan Facebook page and plan for a fun evening! Let us all know what you are doing!
Rumors that Sam Castree is planning TOGA II are completely unfounded and no one should show up at Sam's house.
