40 Year Reunion Announcement!

Golf Tournament

Friday,  July  24,  2026

Hey Fellow Cougars,
Our Shawnee Mission Northwest Class of '86 is gearing up for a fun and relaxed 40th Reunion Golf Outing, and we're looking to round up a great group of folks to make it happen on Friday July 24, 2026

We're aiming for 20-30 more golfers, and this is truly an all skill levels welcome event. Whether you're a scratch golfer, a once a year player, or someone who just wants to ride along and enjoy the day, you're invited!

Spouses, partners, and significant others are absolutely welcome to join the fun as well.

Once we get a solid headcount, we'll lock in the course, time, format, and final cost hopefully within the next few weeks. Right now, we just need to know who's in so we can build the outing around the group.
If you're interested, use the Register Online button below or feel free to reply to [email protected] with the following:

-Your name plus the names of people on your team if you have any or we can put you on a team.
-Skill level (just for planning - no judgment!)

Let's make this reunion weekend unforgettable, both on and off the course. Looking forward to seeing a great Cougar turnout.

Go Cougars!
Thanks on behalf of your SMNW Class of '86 Reunion Committee

Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Wednesday Nowak


I fell in love with the Sonoran dessert driving through in 1996 and immediately packed up my siblings and moved to Phoenix. I am a happy, single two cat lady. I’ve been a professional sommelier for 12 years. I currently work at Mortgage Matchup Center, where the Phoenix Suns play. It’s been a fun 3 seasons learning about basketball from the comforts of the Annexus Club. I pour high end wines for courtside season ticket holders. The players run past me multiple times a night! So basically I’ve manifested a job where I can drink champagne and watch athletes!
Life is good.
