Class of 2005
20 Year Reunion activities
Reunion Representatives: Megan Stitchter (Gierhart) and Ryan Wolfshorndl are your Reunion Representatives, who are planning your reunion gatherings.
Class of 2005–
It’s been 20 years since we graduated—can you believe it? We’re celebrating with a party in downtown Santa Barbara! Come mingle, eat, and laugh with the people who knew you back when we were pulling pranks like Saran-wrapping toilet seats or tossing hot dogs off dorm roofs. (Yes, we remember.)
No matter how much you’ve changed since 2005– you are welcome and wanted at this special event.
All you need to know:
- Outside– October in Santa Barbara is beautiful, so we’ll be gathering outside at a fun location on State Street.
- Family friendly–there will be a space inside the venue for kids to color or play board games. (There’s also a quiet area inside for introverts. We won’t tell anyone if you disappear into a corner, ok?)
- Plenty of food– your ticket includes a Mexican dinner of three tacos, rice, beans, and guacamole. Kids' quesadillas are also available to add on.
- Alcohol available–at our 10 year reunion, people requested alcohol at future events. A cash bar will be available with an assortment of great wine and beer.
- A private space allows us more time to catch up as we relive some of our favorite early Millennium shenanigans. Your ticket price reflects this goal.
- Planned by your classmates–Westmont does not help with the planning or finances of this event. You can help us make sure it’s a great time for all by purchasing your ticket early, and spreading the word.
A HUGE thank you to the following people for helping get this gathering off the ground financially: Courtney and Ryan Wolfshorndl, Megan (Gierhart) and Josh Stichter, Drew (Miller) and Nick Parisi; Kimberly and David Cox; Jen (Goebel) and Brian Zorb; Katie (Cates) and Cory McMahon, Julia and Grant Davis, Betsy (Seashore) and Tim LeDoux, Kaitlyn and Chad Trabucco, and Sarah and Jon Rogstad
