Draft - Not Yet Set


24 - 25 October 2025

This Mini Reunion is an expansion of our past successful mini reunions.
It is a join us at the bar reunion with no RSVP’s and no program. 
We will do two days to encourage out of towners to come.
At the Oak Lawn Hilton with rooms available at $135 to $145.






We will spread the word on social media and email. We suggest that everyone contact 
their MPHS friends and get them to come.This will be fun if you find and connect with your old friends.


The small groups can do their own mini reunion before or after the larger reunion.It is up to them to find their friends and make arrangements to meet.

Chicago has great attractions - the world class museums, zoos, boat rides, ball games,

Navy Pier, etc, that would work very well for small groups who stay longer.


No RSVP required, but please let me know if you are coming so we have an idea of attendance.

Let me know if it ok to put your name on a list of who is coming.  Craighullinger@gmail.com

Misspelled Chicago!  The AI probably sensed that I was asking and spield accordingly. Mrs. Duffy would not like it.
