INA, Ill. (June 28, 2017)
Rend Lake College has produced Warriors for 50 years. There are Warriors who have gone on to work in fields and hospitals, and everywhere in between. There are Warriors who lead and make a difference locally and nation-wide. All are part of a family that’s now five decades strong and still growing.
In honor of RLC’s 50th Anniversary, the college is holding the “Class of RLC Reunion†for Warriors near and far to come to campus and celebrate. Part birthday party, part reunion
the event will feature live music, food, activities and a chance to socialize and be on campus together again.
It will be held from 5 - 9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 12 on the campus in Ina. Guests can RSVP online at www.rlc.edu/50.

“The 50th Anniversary is a historic milestone for our college,†Wilkerson said. “It’s a big deal and we want to put on a big event. What better way than to get five decades of alumni and friends together? We hope the RLC family finds its way back to campus for a great evening.â€
