Dear Mackenzie Class of 1972 Classmates and Friends:

THE 1972 MACKENZIE 50TH CLASS REUNION

It’s here, it’s now, our Mackenzie High School 50th Class Reunion! Truly amazing that it’s been 50 years! Wow—hard to believe!! Well, it’s time to remember those wonderful times we enjoyed together. We’ve all come a mighty long way, but we’re still those same people—just adults now; who put away all of those insecurities and hang-ups and/or competitions. Let’s share our memories, thank God for those who passed on to glory, and reconnect with each other.

The committee is pleased to announce the details of our reunion. It will be hosted in Livonia, Michigan, June 24-26, 2022. We have selected the Detroit Marriott Livonia Hotel as our host site. The hotel is located 26 minutes west of downtown Detroit via I-96 in Livonia, Michigan, on the I-96/I-275 (North) Freeway, at Exit 6 (6 Mile Rd.). The hotel’s address is 17100 Laurel Park Drive North, Livonia, Michigan. To contact the hotel, please call (734) 462-3100. Let’s celebrate us … together … again … the Mackenzie High School Class of 1972!! (See map on page 2)
