Top 10 Things You Can Do to Prepare for Alumni Weekend

Can you believe that Darlington's 2013 Alumni Weekend is less than two-and-a-half months away?! This year's event will celebrate the classes ending in 3 and 8.

Below, I have compiled a great list of things you can do to prepare for Alumni Weekend – hope to see you there!

1. Mark your calendar now for September 27-29.

2. Make your hotel and travel reservations. (See list of area hotels below.)

3. Practice your favorite Darlington cheer to prepare for the Friday night Homecoming football game… Go Tigers!

4. Dust off your old Jabberwalk and take a walk down memory lane!

5. Contact your class agent and volunteer to help plan your class party.

6. Search your attic and find your old Darlington letter sweater or baseball cap.

7. Start training for the Run with Pride 10K, 5K, or Fun Run. You’ll want the chance to run with longtime faculty member Rick Buice!

8. Call five friends from your class and make sure they are planning to attend.

9. Start that diet now to get back to your high school self (or come as you are… You may look better now than you did back then!)
