Bordentown Military Institute
Alumni
Association

Welcome
to the Bordentown Military Institute Alumni Association site. If you
are a former cadet, please Contact Us either by
e-mail or postal mail. We would like to add you to our directory.
Please explore our site and see the activities of our Association. Founded
in 1881, the Bordentown Military Institute operated as an independent
military school in Bordentown, New Jersey, for 91 years. In 1972, it
merged with the Lenox School in Lenox, Massachusetts. Bordentown/Lenox
was in existence for only one year, however, closing its doors completely in
June 1973. In the late
1980s, the inactive BMI Alumni Association re-formed and began scheduling
biennial reunions. Since then, the Association has grown in numbers and
scope, thanks to a dedicated alumni board and extremely valuable
volunteers. Word-of-mouth connections and the Internet have also
contributed to its resurgence, as have numerous people who have stumbled on
the Web site and have been “found.” Although the formal entity that was
once BMI has gone, its spirit is very much alive. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
Presidents Message
Greetings to all!
Your Executive Board is rolling up
its sleeves to get to work on BMI Reunion 2024. The dates are Friday, October
18, and Saturday, October 19. The Cocktail Party on Friday night and the
Banquet on Saturday night will be at the Bordentown Yacht Club as was the case
Reunion 2022. And the food will be provided by Toscano, the best restaurant in
a town full of restaurants.
Many participants at Reunion 2022
said it was the best and in keeping with the finest BMI traditions we want to make
Reunion 2024 even better. The way we do this is to get even more of our fellow
cadets to join us. Now is the time to reach out to your classmates and tell
them this is the year to attend.
Also, we are exceedingly proud to
announce to you that The Delaware Valley Chapter of the National Football
Foundation awarded BMI it’s GEORGEO’GORMAN CONTRIBUTION TO AMATEUR FOOTBALL
AWARD. This is particularly notable because it’s the first time they recognized
a program rather than specific athletes. See the complete article on the next
page.
I hope to see all of you in October!
President
