Class of 2002 sets 20-year reunion
The Class of 2002 announces its upcoming 20-year reunion on Saturday, July 16.
Plans for the day include a gathering for families at Northside Park in Sartell from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Bring the kids and reconnect with old friends while shooting hoops, bumping volleyballs or simply kicking back and relaxing. Bring a lawn chair and let’s enjoy the summer weather together!
Later that evening, classmates will gather for a private event beginning at 6:30 p.m. at The Upper Deck, 38440 55th Ave., Sartell. Be ready to reminisce as we watch our senior video, enjoy some drinks, eat some late-night pizza and catch-up with ones we may have lost touch with throughout the years.
Class of 2002, hope to see you there!
Volunteer at TCHS
Volunteers are essential to everything they do at the Tri-County Humane Society! Shelter volunteers provide hands-on animal care such as cleaning, grooming, exercising and socializing the animals while they wait for their new homes. In addition, volunteers assist with kennel cleaning, general housekeeping and customer service. They could not save the lives they do without volunteers!
Other volunteer opportunities include dog walking, surgery assisting, animal photography, office work/data entry, Re-Tail Revisited shifts, yardwork, building maintenance, fundraising events, humane education and committee work. If you have a special skill or trade you feel may be beneficial to their shelter, please share it. Wherever your talents lie, TCHS welcomes you!
