2012 ECOEE Reunion
Join us this February at Horn Field Campus in Macomb, Illinois for a fun filled weekend of story swapping, picture sharing, and a test of your ECOEE outdoor skills. The reunion this year will have a special focus on ECOEE groups from 1977, 1982, 1987, 1992, 1997, 2002, 2007, and 2012. We would like to see any and all alumni attend, but due to the large number of ECOEE alums, we will begin to highlight specific ECOEE groups at the annual gathering.
