Rollins Mansion reunion is coming up. It is time to get in touch with your fellow classmates and make plan to attend. It is going to be an unforgettable evening! Get ready for an exciting adventure as we gather to open a time capsule buried when our school was first established. However, upon unveiling it, we were surprised to find the items missing, leaving behind only a clue.

As attendees, you will play a crucial role in this mysterious quest. Follow the clues that will lead you around the mansion, helping us uncover the identity of the thief. To add a touch of school spirit, we invite you to dress in vibrant school colors of Red, Pink and Black. You may choose to be completely immersed or just relax and hang out.

Enjoy the fun night while sipping a fun signature drink and enjoying scrumptious food as well as fun dessert.
