For our ten-year reunion we will need several Verona grads to help with planning and contacting classmates. Also, in the future we may need assistance maintaining this web site. If you would like to help please send us a message.
If you prefer not to join the reunion committee, but wish to help, we always need updated contact information. So if you have contact information for other Verona grads, let us know. Also, if you have suggestions for future reunions or ideas for the web page, e-mail us.
