All Heights Reunion on 10/9, Other Class Web Sites

From Facebook (Columbia Heights High School Alumni ):

Just a reminder that on October 9th, 2009 at Sarna's in Columbia Heights (corner of University and 40th) around 9 p.m. or after the Homecoming Football game at CHHS is the All School Alumni Reunion. Come one, come all! This is open to any and all alumni from Columbia Heights. Even those who went to Columbia Heights for awhile then went elsewhere are encouraged to show up.

Sarna's has set aside the inside area next to the patio and the patio for us to use. That would be the area to your right as you walk into Sarna's.
