Rosalind Russell
By Rosalind Russell
Following a two-month campaign calling on students, former students and staff, as well as the wider community, the decision has been made to go ahead with the 75th Espanola High School Reunion.
The committee was pleased with the positive response, well over 200 people, and will be moving forward with the reunion.
The Espanola Regional Recreation Complex has been booked for registrations on Friday, July 3rd with the reunion events taking place on Saturday, July 4th.
The committee will meet again early in the year to put together a schedule of events.
That said, some of the leg work is starting up.
If you have photos/memorabilia, sports letters or medals, newspaper articles, or other items of interest, please get in touch with Rosalind Russell on Facebook or by phone or text at 705-869-6397 to borrow them for a historical archival display at the reunion.
Other updates will be available in the New Year.
