Reunion 2005 - Saturday Night at Tangerine

The main event on Saturday evening July 9 was held at Tangerine - a dance and dessert club downtown on Milwaukee Street housed in a turn-of-the-century building with a 70's retro tangerine decor - a perfect fit for all of us who grew up in the 70's.  The club's front windows and door opened onto the sidewalk cafe' tables where many classmates gathered to enjoy the beautiful, warm summer evening.  Heavy appetizers and food stations were the fare for the evening and provided and environment for mingling and conversation.  Each alum also received a specially designed ceramic ornament as a remembrance of the weekend.  The ornament pictured the Grotto and the inscription - "SMA Class of 1980 - 25 years -Together Again.  Alums and guests alike wore name tags showing the alum's graduation picture.
