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!
