Rend Lake College to have all-class reunion

In honor of Rend Lake College's 50th anniversary, the college will hold an all-class reunion from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 12 on the campus in Ina.
The festivities will kick off with speakers that will include graduates of the first and 50th classes, along with RLC President Terry Wilkerson.
"The 50th Anniversary is a historic milestone for our college," Wilkerson said. "It's a big deal and we want to put on a big event. What better way than to get five decades of alumni and friends together? We hope the RLC family finds its way back to campus for a great evening."
Live performances by local musicians will begin at 6 p.m. and continue throughout the evening. Local acts will include Chris Slone and The Gollihers. Organizers are looking for a blues or jazz band to complete the lineup. Inquiries can be made by calling 618-437-5321 ext. 1344.
A dinner of cheeseburgers, nachos, hot dogs and other fare favorites will be available. The college's 50th Anniversary collector's cup will be included with dinner. Attendees also will have the opportunity to sign a guest book and leave a message for a time capsule that will be buried next year.
Guests can RSVP online at rlc.edu/50.
