Artists & Authors, Show Us Your Stuff! 

Saturday night's Starring You! activity features something for everyone --- live music, caricaturists to capture your best smile, and a casual exhibit of art and publications produced by reunion alums ... not to mention a variety of tempting potables and light bites.

Alums interested in displaying their works of art or their publications ---- no public poetry readings or excerpts from books, though --- are urged to reserve exhibit space with Jessica Hannan at hannanj@chc.edu by May 18.

Saturday night following the Luau on the Hill is a great time to chill out, enjoy more conversation, drink in the lush sounds of the Minas jazz trio, view the talents of your classmates, and walk away with a complimentary caricature of yourself.
