Quick news about the association and upcoming events!


Plans for the annual all-class picnic are being finalized and, by popular demand, Joy's Bakery will be our caterer again this year! Same price - $15 per person for a choice of hamburger or chicken plus salad, beverages, and dessert. The Alumni newsletter will be mailed during April and you'll have the opportunity to preregister and pay for the picnic at that time.

The picnic date is Saturday, July 9th, at Riverfront Park in Sedro-Woolley. Be sure to get that on your calendar and tell your friends and classmates. It's the highlight of the Alumni year!

If your class would like to put up your own tent at the picnic, please let the Association know as soon as possible, so we can plan the room. Also, if you want to put that information in the newsletter, or anything else about your class activities, let us know ASAP!! We know that the classes of 1961 and 1971 are having reunions - are you?

The SWHS AA paid membership is currently at 419. Our membership year is the calendar year. Dues are $10 annually or $100 for a "Life" membership. Be sure to join us!

The selection of our scholarship winners for 2011 is currently under way. Watch for the announcements and for a new opportunity to mingle with alums and the scholarship winners this spring.

Finally, our fundraising efforts for scholarships are always in progress. We welcome donations directly to the scholarship fund (and we get a lot of them - thank you!) and our next fundraising event is the plant and bake sale in early May. More info on that later. Stay tuned!
