The Carlin Nalley Foundation is thrilled to announce that our 6th All-Years Reunion — “Blue & White: Reunite!” — is headed back to the heart of Lisle: the beautifully renovated Krasa Center at Benedictine University.
After being relocated in 2022 due to lingering COVID-19 restrictions, we’re bringing the celebration home — and we’re making it the best one yet.

🏛 Why Benedictine’s Krasa Center is the Perfect FitThe Krasa Center is no stranger to Lion pride — it proudly hosted our AY3 and AY4 reunions. And now, it returns as the site of AY6, offering a fresh new look and an even more inviting atmosphere.
“While the Hyatt Lisle was a great venue, it proved to be a costly event, and holding true to our commitment to keep costs at a minimum, the Krasa Center provides a better value,” said CNF Director of Communications, Don Krause.
The venue boasts:

• 22,000 square feet of space
• Cozy booths and intimate areas for smaller class huddles
• FREE parking
• Immediate access to The Pub at Coal Ben for post-reunion hangouts

Whether you’re reconnecting with old teammates, catching up with teachers, or meeting alumni from other decades — there’s room for everyone.

In 2017, the Carlin Nalley Foundation proudly helped Lisle High School celebrate its 60th Anniversary with an unforgettable “All Years Reunion” called Rocking the Foundation. That weekend was a celebration of memories, friendships, and our enduring Lion pride. Thanks to Calvisions Video Production of Lisle, Illinois, the weekend was captured beautifully—see for yourself in the highlight reel above.
Now, it’s time to make new memories!

In 1972, the world seemed a little quieter, a little slower, and a whole lot simpler. School dances in the gym. Late-night hangouts at Lisle Lanes. Cruising down Maple Ave with the windows down and the radio up. Our biggest worries? Final exams and who was bringing the stereo to the weekend get-together.
Fast-forward to 2025, and we’re calling all members of the Class of ’72 to gather once again—this time at the Blue & White: Reunite! Lisle High School All-Years Reunion on Saturday, October 18, 2025.
Let’s unwind. Let’s rekindle friendships. Let’s remember what made growing up in Lisle something truly special.
Back When Gas Was 30 Cents a Gallon and Life Was Slower
The world was changing fast in 1972, but in Lisle, life still had a rhythm all its own. That year, the headlines told stories that shaped our generation:

• President Nixon made history visiting Communist China
• Watergate began with a quiet break-in
• The tragic events at the Munich Olympics shocked the world
• The U.S. Supreme Court declared the death penalty unconstitutional
• Bloody Sunday rocked Northern Ireland
• Apollo 16 brought us closer to the stars
• Popeyes was born (and we had no idea how good chicken could be)

Through it all, we were growing up—Lisle Lions strong and proud, navigating our teenage years with curiosity, ambition, and just the right amount of mischief.
This October, Let's Make New Memories Join me at the newly remodeled Krasa Center on Benedictine University’s Lisle Campus. The evening kicks off at 6:00 PM, and your ticket includes light bites and an OPEN BAR—because we’ve earned it.
Reconnect with old friends, share stories from back in the day, and celebrate the legacy of Lisle High School. Whether it’s been 10 years or 50, there’s a place for you at Blue & White: Reunite.
🎟 Tickets are just $45 per person — click the banner to grab yours today!
Let’s prove once again that Class of ’72 still knows how to show up and have a good time.
Go Lions!
