Aurora Hinkley / Gateway Class of 1974 Combined Reunion

The dates for the Hinkley / Gateway Combined 1974 Reunion have been changed. Instead of August 9-10, the reunion is now scheduled for August 16 and 17th.

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of Hinkley Class of 74’s very own Linda Matteson, we now have a wonderful venue lined up for the dinner on Saturday night, August 17th. We’ll be celebrating at the Valley Country Club in Centennial, which is near the intersection of Parker Road and Arapahoe Road. If you ever attended “woodsies” near Castlewood Canyon or had friends who lived in Parker, you’ll know the route… although it has changed a lot since 1974.

If any of the Hinkley or Gateway alumni are members of the Valley Country Club, please let Steve know ASAP as we can get a discount on the facility rental if we book it through you. 

Friday night’s event is still at the Stanley Beer Hall at 2501 Dallas Street in Aurora, except it will be on Friday the 16th of August, NOT the 9th.

We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause you. With this being finalized, we’ll start taking reservations for the Saturday night festivities soon.

We’re getting about six months away from the combined Gateway / Hinkley Class of ‘74 Reunion, and need to an estimate of how many people will attend the events. We’d appreciate it if you would fill out the survey below and submit it so we can have a better idea of the number of attendees. Thank you for your help!

REUNION ATTENDANCE SURVEY

Like everything else in life, reunions cost money…

At some point in the next few months, we’ll have a way for you to sign up and pay for the reunion dinner on August 10, 2024 — that’s once we determine the venue for the dinner.

Right now, we’d like to appeal to the Gateway and Hinkley alumni out there to help us defray the cost of organizing this reunion. We’ve had minimal expenses setting up our website, but we’ll also need to pay for other things down the road, like dinner venue deposits, decorations for the events, name tags and lanyards, and more.

That’s why we’re asking for your help. If you can make a donation in any amount of $10 or more, you’ll help us to keep things rolling. Click the button below to go to our secure online payment page or get information on how to pay by check.

To the Classes of 1974 from Aurora’s Gateway and Hinkley High Schools, we welcome you.

The weekend of August 9 – 10, 2024, we will be holding a combined reunion. It’s only fitting, since we shared school facilities in the fall of 1973.

We also plan to share our mixer event on August 9^th with the Aurora Central High School Class of 1974, and they have offered to open their event on September 13^th to all Hinkley and Gateway alumni.

More information will be provided on this web page as it becomes available. This will also be the place to RSVP for the mixer and to sign up for a dinner on the night of August 10^th.
