The reunion "all event" registration price includes the "after party" on Friday night; join us for beer, wine, munchies, and great conversation with your fellow DHS alums. Or, for $6 (the price of one beer or a glass of wine) enjoy munchies and unlimited beer and wine among your old friends from DHS, and hopefully you'll make some new friends as well! Please feel free to bring your own hard liquor/spirits if you'd like to drink something other than beer or wine.
