McKinley Tech High School
Class Of 1979
30th Year Reunion
30th Year Reunion - August 7 - 9, 2009
Call to Action
On February 12, 2009, Donnella Briscoe Rucker emailed alumni of the McKinley Tech Class of 1979 to initiate planning for the 30th reunion. The first planning meeting was held on Saturday, February 28, 2009 in New Carrolton, MD and was attended by thirteen people. Everyone became acquainted with each other and discussed how it was hard to believe 30 years had passed since high school graduation. They also discussed how great they looked even though they were fast approaching the age of 50. After the small talk was finished, the group got down to business. It was decided the reunion would take place the 2nd weekend in August and would consist of three events: Happy Hour, Dinner/Dance and Church Service/Picnic. The Reunion Planning Committee was established and the hard work began.
