Dear SMP Alumnus:

On June 26-28, 2015, we will once again come together for our every three year reunion and it will no doubt be a good time to return to where we once called home and spend time with or remember in stories those who influenced who we are today or became life-long friends.

7 p.m. Opening Night Social
