All Class Reunion - September 5

10th Annual Event Labor day weekend.

Pictures from 2009 here.

The Derby Cultural Commission held the Tenth Annual Derby All Class Reunion on Saturday, September 5th in a variety of venues centered along Elizabeth Street and the River Restaurant on Route 34. The event was started by the Cultural Commission in 2000 as part of the Olde Derby Day celebration in June. It was also held in combination with a Friday night homecoming football game in 2001, but has settled into the Saturday night on Labor Day weekend since 2002. There was no charge for the event which attracted many graduates who just showed up at the venues to meet old friends and re-kindle some fine memories.

As part of that first year celebration, the Cultural Commission invited different graduates to write about their experiences. In case you are interested, we have resurrected those stories from the archives, and you can click on the links below to read them:
