2012 Page Homecoming

Please note that the House´s announcement that it plans to shut down the House Page Program has not changed the Association´s Homecoming plans.  Mark your calendars now – May 24-27, 2012 (Memorial Day Weekend). These are the dates of the first-ever Page Alumni Homecoming. The Homecoming headquarters will be at the Capitol Hill Liaison Hotel, located just blocks from the Capitol Building and all the memories of page experience. Significant others and families are invited, and there will be plenty for everyone. Stay tuned in the coming months for more information about schedules, prices, and registration. In the meantime, encourage your classmates to join you in Washington in May 2012. Learn more here.
