We are sorry if the decision to make this an ENewsletter is not popular.
Unfortunately, we did not
end up having enough
funds to afford printing
and mailing of the Autumn Alumni newsletter
this year. We made the
decision to save our funds
for printing a Spring 2011
Alumni Newsletter/
Banquet Invitation, offering an alumni scholarship,
and holding the Annual
Alumni Banquet.
Should we receive more
members’’ dues and donations, we may be able to
mail a printed newsletter
next Autumn. Each time
we don’’t do a mailing, we
end up losing address
corrections and connections with alumni, which
result in inaccurate information for reunion planners. The bottom line is
that it takes people and
funds to run an organization. Your $10 donation
is important and does go
a long way to meeting the
basic communication and
connection goals of our
organization: to honor
our history, to keep in
touch with our classmates, and provide support for future alumni
members with scholarships.
Please consider printing
the Member Info. Page to
send in dues and a donation to keep us going.
Thanks,
NAHS Alumni Committee
