Join us for this two-day reunion event at St. Paul Lutheran School, Ann Arbor (SPLS)! *
A number of CLJC alumni are putting together a joint reunion gathering for the classes of 1975 and 1976, tentatively scheduled for August 14-15, 2026. The planning committee, consisting of CLJC alumni, hopes to make this reunion an opportunity to celebrate our shared experiences and the lasting impact CLJC has had on our lives and faith. The gathering will focus on fellowship, remembrance, and gratitude for the community that shaped us.
The committee members currently most active in the planning are:
- Bill Cario, CLJC class of 1976
- Dave Florine CLJC class of 1976
- Sharon Nehrt Florine CLJC class of 1976
- Kathy Geiger CLJC class of 1976
- Tim Hetzner CLJC class of 1976
- Dave Jung CLJC class of 1976
- Tim Knapp CLJC class of 1975
- Kathy Wessel Meier CLJC class of 1976
- Jim Wonnacott, CLJC class of 1976
- Chris Schonsheck CLJC class of 1976
- Linda Sproul, CCAA class of 1992 - advisory
Planning committee goal: to provide a reunion experience for CLJC alums and their spouses (and/or significant others) so that we can,
- Reminisce together about their life-changing experiences at Concordia Lutheran Junior College
- Reflect on how that experience made an impact on our subsequent lives, vocations, and relationships since then
- Thank God for this opportunity to remember those who have preceded us in glory and to celebrate all His gifts through CLJC

*While previous alumni reunions have taken place on the 4090 Geddes Road campus, an alternative reunion location is needed due to the current uncertainty about the status of that property. St. Paul Lutheran Church, Ann Arbor, has graciously offered portions of its school property at 495 Earhart Road (just up the road from the Geddes campus) for our use. We are currently exploring the opportunity to tour the Geddes Road campus and/or use the chapel, but cannot guarantee that.
