About this Event
Wheaton classmates and close friends, let’s make our next reunion a little sweeter! 🍫
Hey everyone—it’s Eric Reid! Since so many of our close friends from Jr. High didn't end up at Wheaton High but are absolutely a part of the crew we grew up with, we want to make sure everyone is included. My wife Crisoire Reid, a Master Chocolatier from SPAGnVOLA CHOCOLATIER, and I would love to bring our whole lifelong friend group together for an exclusive, private chocolate-making class.Let’s trade the usual casual catch-up and politics for hands-on chocolate crafting, great conversation, and a truly memorable experience together! ✨Here’s what’s in store:
- Masterclass Experience: A private chocolate-making session guided by Master Chocolatier Crisoire Reid.
- Food & Drink: Complimentary hors d’oeuvres and drinks to enjoy throughout the evening.
- Throwback Beats: Our very own high school alumna, DJ Nola Simon, will be serenading the evening with our beloved music of the 80's! 🎵🥂
- Reconnect: Plenty of time to share school-day stories, catch up, and make brand-new memories with the friends who go all the way back to the beginning.
