Methodist Alumni Association Hosts Summer Social

On July 16, the Methodist Alumni Association held a social event in Peoria, Illinois. The social was at Suite Fire Bar & Grill located inside the Louisville Slugger Sports Complex, just down the road from Methodist College. Alumni from the 1960’s to 2000’s attended the event. Methodist College Chancellor Dr. James Dire welcomed alumni and spoke about Methodist College. Then the group enjoyed appetizers of pinwheel sandwiches, barbeque chicken bites, vegetables, and delicious brownies. Each attendee left with an Methodist Alumni Association logo-etched glass tumbler.  Throughout the event alumni discussed and compared healthcare past to present. The stories they could tell from years past were fascinating -- entertaining! 

Thank you to the alumni and staff who attended this year’s social event. If you are interested in hosting an alumni social in your area or future events, please contact the alumni office at msmith@methodistcol.edu or (309) 672-5598.
