鈥淭he Glee Club Reunion weekends are always a great way for me to reconnect with friends,鈥� said Art Panfile, a 1975 graduate. 鈥淚n addition to connecting with friends who were in the Glee Club at the same time I was, by attending reunions every three years, I鈥檝e made friends with members from the classes since I graduated.鈥�
