Hey Class of 1976!
In addition to our 50th reunion party on Saturday evening and the other on-campus events at Episcopal, we’ve planned a few additional get-togethers that will give us more time to catch up on the past 50 years.
On Saturday, from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. we will gather on the Van Cleve family dock for a casual, relaxing lunch on the river. We’re working on the menu and invite you to bring your own beverages. Contact Lanier and Lauren for more information and to RSVP by April 16.

If you love pickleball, join us on Saturday morning from 8:00-10:00 a.m. at Toon Town for indoor (air-conditioned) pickleball fun. Located just two blocks east of the Jaguars’ Stadium, the facility has a pub for drinks and snacks. Cost is $25 per person and includes equipment and court reservation. All skill levels – and even non-players – are welcome.
Please contact Rhonda Dallas Donovan for more information by April 16: rdonovanjr@comcast.net
On Sunday morning, we will gather for brunch at Café San Marco (1440 San Marco Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32207).
