SWHS Alumni Assn - recent news

The Sedro-Woolley High School Alumni Association has a new blog!

www.swhsalumni.blogspot.com

OK, I admit, I did it. But there are a lot of commercial "class reunion-type" web sites out there that are confusing our alums with their claims to be the official site. They're not.

I have been attending the S-WHS Alumni Assn meetings and I put up the blog under their auspices. It is likely that we will have a true web site in the future but right now the blog will do what we need done - to give alumni a place to go for news and contact info!

The next events that you should be aware of are the geranium sale and the All-Class Picnic!

Geranium Sale - Saturday, May 1, at the park next to the Sedro-Woolley Community Center. They sell lovely geranium plants and tomato plants $3.00 each. And some baked goods - always popular - as priced. Come early because all of these items tend to run out! If you want to pre-order (and many do) let me know and I'll put you in touch with the event chair.

All-Class Picnic - Saturday, July 10th, at Riverfront Park in Sedro-Woolley. 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
This is the BIG event of the year for SWHS Alums! A lovely lunch - prepurchase of lunch tickets is required - $15 per person. Hamburger or chicken. Lunch is served at 1 p.m. Lots of mingling, visiting, photos, etc.! The Association sells raffle tickets to benefit the scholarship fund. Class members sit together - if they want to! Some classes put up their own "tents". Some classes put up a sign (we have one - see it on this page!). Many alums travel for great distances to attend! Put it on your calendar today and I'll put up contact info for ticket purchase when the tickets are ready.

That's the news from downtown Sedro-Woolley. More as it develops!
