The 2010 Co-op Reunion was great beyond describable words... It took place Saturday, June 26, 2010, 11:00 AM until Dusk, @ Glen Island Park Pavilion #1.
This year there were SO MANY NEW FACES. My personal estimate was ~250 attendees, but it could have been more. We had many people travel hours by automobile, and even many others that took plane rides to visit. I stayed late this year, till about 8PM and I'm glad I did because at 7:30PM people were still showing up!
Again I had the privilege of hanging out and chatting with so many people from my childhood and adolescents. It was like facebook, only live and in living color! If you missed it this year, you really must try to come next year as I cannot explain the thrill you are missing.
All had a good time. I saw so many people just standing around looking in awe, in the amazement of seeing past Co-op friends and neighbors for the first time in years. I read a few people's lips as they said to themselves - "This is great...", "This is unbelievable....", etc...
Please look for new pictures and site updates very soon.

A Special Note from Michael O.:
Thank you to all our old friends who heard the call as regards the increased cost of renting the pavilion and did their part.
Thanks to all of you, we are in the black for the first time and can save some money for next year's rental.
A special thank you to an anonymous donor who gave many, many multiples of what was asked of everyone. "This is awesome," he said. "Keep doing this please…."
We hope the word continues to spread and that we see more people returning from years past. It is so good to see all of you!
With love, - Michael
A note from Dawn:
It was awesome to see everyone at the 2010 co op reunion! It looked like a great time was had by all. The park rangers followed the last of us out around 9PM :)
I'm already planning for next year. If you would like to have your name added to the email blasts for regular reunion updates, please send your email address to me at dawnt607@bellsouth.net.
Once you're at the WebFiles site, just click the upload link on the upper right hand side of the screen and start uploading.
This link will only be available for three months from today, so please do not hesitate to upload as soon as possible.
Shortly, I'll be posting the pictures that are uploaded here as well as those I receive in email and snail mail. However, if you want to see some really great pictures NOW please watch the whole video below (from 2009)… at the end of the video there is a wonderful montage of some of the best pictures that were taken last year.
Watch for the new 2010 pictures very soon, and I've already notice some popping up on facebook.
This is the 2009 video -- watch for the new video very soon. If you have trouble viewing the video trying clicking here for help.
If this video doesn't entice you to attend next year, nothing will. If you only look at one thing on this site, PLEASE make it this video!!! You have to watch it till the end credits to get the full gist. The video is approximately 30 minutes long so grab a cup-o-java and chill. I personally promise you'll not be sorry.
Big thanks goes out to Mitch Barr for a tremendous effort in creating this video. My brother from another mother. ;>
Till next year... Reuben
