Rebranding. With William rarely seen anymore and to celebrate 25 years of fun, we focus-grouped a name tweak. We are now:
- Wow Wowie Whee!kend
Linguists are watching closely to see what shorthand name evolves: 3W, WWW, 3 Dub, Wowie Wow, Whee!kend — the options are endless.

Theme for Wowie Wow Whee!kend 25:
- Elvis Baby!
Voting ended in a tie, so we will honor the favorite performer of our senior Weekender Tommye. As part of our silver anniversary gathering, there will be a range of other favorite activities – murder mystery, games, karaoke, trivia? — woven in, as we relive excitement from our past.
To help us select our 26 theme, we’re working feverishly to develop a voting run-off system that will undoubtedly dissatisfy as many Weekenders as possible.
