New officers have been elected and duly installed for 2013.  Now the year begins to raise funds for vocational scholarships for SWHS and State Street High School graduates. 

If you're not a member of the Alumni Association, you should be!  It's a great way to support our school and the young graduates. 

The annual All-Class Picnic is July 13, 2013 so get that on your calendar now!  It's such a fun event with LOTS and LOTS of people you already know!

The next Class of 71 Coffee Hour will be January 29th.  See you there and maybe see you on the downtown Sedro-Woolley cam!

Class of 71 coffee hour - December 18th!

Happy Beethoven's Birthday, December 16th!

 

 

Our monthly coffee hour is a little early during December - we normally meet on the "last" Tuesday of the month - this month the "last" Tuesday is Christmas!  So we're planning to get together on Tuesday the 18th, for a last gathering of the year.

Same Bat Time, same Bat Station - Starbucks at Exit 232 (the Cook Road exit, you know the one) from 5ish to 7ish. 

If you got the Bat reference, you are definitely in our age group.

So come on out and wish your classmates a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 

Class of 71 Coffee Hour - Nov. 27th

Tuesday, November 27th, is our next scheduled gathering!  Same place - Starbucks at Exit 232.  Last month we had 14 attending!  Several who had never been before - we hope you all come back!  We were a little rowdy, but it was the night before Halloween and we are all starting to turn 60...time to howl!  Thanks to Leilani for taking some fun photos of us - no closeups, thank you.  So come on over from 5ish to 7ish and see who is there this month!

 

We're waiting for you!



Our next coffee hour is Tuesday, October 30, at the Exit 232 Starbucks!
"Howl" about attending?

SWHS All-Class Picnic July 7th

It's almost here!  The SWHS All-Class picnic.  Class of 71 will be there with our sign...we were the groundbreakers for the sign thing - now every organized class has one!

If you want to attend - and you do! - get all the info at http://swhsaa.com/

Cost is $15 and please specify a hamburger or chicken entree for the lunch.

Come early, stay late!  Wear sunscreen!  Bring some cash so you can buy raffle tickets on some great items to support the SWHS Alumni Association's scholarship program.

The SWHS Alumni Assn also has a Facebook page and the picnic details have been in the Skagit Valley Herald and on various Internet community calendars.

This event grows bigger every year because it's so much fun!  See members of other classes and visit all around Riverfront Park.  It's an easy way to have a mini-reunion with your class.

Joy's Bakery is our caterer again this year.  Great to have SWHS Alumni taking care of us again!  

Come on out and enjoy a beautiful day with your friends.  Bring your camera!   

June monthly coffee hour will be a pot luck dinner!

Tuesday, June 26th we'll be meeting at Gary Rothenbuhler's house instead of our usual coffee place.  For our almost-annual pot luck dinner!  5ish until he makes us go home.  This is always a fun time with music and food!  Bring whatever - fish and potatoes are already taken.  Well, there's always room for more fish!  See you there!
