Fundraising And Membership

21-Aug-2011

Your North High School Alumni Association was back in action in 2010. We are pleased to brag that we wereable to present six $750 scholarships last year, up a little from past years. In the seven years that we have been in existence, we have been able to give almost $25,000 in scholarships and more monies in grants to the various groups at school. Again this year, the scholarships went to a varied group of students. These were possible because of folks like you that have supported our fundraisers and it was gratifying to watch the faces of these young people as they received their scholarships.

In keeping with our efforts of the past, we have come up with several fundraisers that will enable this committee to raise new monies for scholarships and teacher grants.We are holding our 2011 Golf Tournament on Friday, June 17 that Leicester Hill Country Club. Last year was a beautiful day for golf, the dinner was outstanding and we had many raffle prizes that were given away. A great plus is that the woman in charge is a graduate of North and she goes out of her way to make sure that we have a great tournament. The tournament will tee off at 1:00 PM and will be a shotgun start. Please consider a foursome as a way to give back to your school.

The second fundraiser is our brick drive for the Alumni Courtyard at the new school. The cost is $100 and you can have it engraved with your name, that of a loved one, or just the class year. Now that this the completion of the new North is within the next few months, we are putting a big push on selling these bricks. The Courtyard will be right outside the new main entance in front of the building. Don’t you want your remembrance there?

Remember, a strong alumni can only help our kids not only in the form of scholarships, but also in the form of networking benefits for those students who may reach out for guidance and advancement. A strong alumni also benefits those who represent our high school (administration, teachers, PTA) in times when support is needed to help garner programs or funding for major causes that effect all of North High School.

If you know of any alumni who have not particpated in any of our fundraisers and would like to be informed,or participate in the planning as a member of the organizing committee, please have them register online or call Bob Rano, Fran Garofoli, Beth Sannella, Pat Barrie or Steve Manna and let us know who they are.

Our website contains a contact form, phone numbers and information that can help in registering you or your fellow alumni. This information is NOT shared with anyone except the committee and gets sent directly to one of us.

Sincerely,

Your North High School Alumni Organizing Committee
