Geranium and tomato plant sale a big success! With chives!

THANKS to everyone who came by today and bought plants at our scholarship fundraiser!  As usual, we announced the official start time at 9 a.m. but LOTS of people come early.  Things were hopping with geraniums, tomato plants, baked goodies, free coffee, and a surprise addition, chive plants!  So much fun to see local folks turn out to support our local CUBS!

Geraniums, Tomatoes, and YOU! Saturday, May 3rd!

Our second-most popular fundraiser of the year (for scholarships) is Saturday, May 3rd!  Almost here!  It is our annual Geranium and Tomato plant sale!  Usual place - at the little building next to the Sedro-Woolley Community Center on Pacific Street.  Sale starts at 9 a.m. and continues until we're sold out, which is normally around noon.  Time to get your hanging baskets planted with our beautiful geraniums and to plant individually raised (and coddled...) tomato plants from one of our dedicated members.  Bring cash - there will also be delicious baked goods for sale and our complimentary coffee will be on!  Do you think that May 3 will dawn bright and sunny?  Sure it will!  Get this great event on your calendar now!

All-Class Picnic 2013 - what a great party!

Thanks to all the Cubs and friends who turned out for our annual All-Class Picnic yesterday!  Lots of fun, sun, great food from Joy's Bakery, and camaraderie!  Preliminary estimates are that we raised a lot of money for the Alumni Association scholarships, and we also gained 22 new paid memberships!

We are estimating attendance at right about 500.  It's hard to determine exactly how many, but we have a few metrics we can look at - like the number of name tags used!  So if you missed this one, get the 2014 picnic on your calendar now!  It will always be on the second Saturday in July from now on.  At lovely Riverfront Park in Sedro-Woolley!

BIG thanks to picnic chair Barbara Ward Thompson and her massive crew of helpers!  From setting up to taking down, parking, golf cart shuttles, raffle prize drawings, and individual class events, there are almost as many people helping at the picnic as are attending!  So thanks to everyone who did anything, we appreciate you!  And remember, it's always more fun when you are involved!

Here are just a few photos from the day - more to come!

 

Barbara organizes, supervises, and tabulates all! 

And she still has time to enjoy the day!

Loggerodeo 2013

What a GREAT turnout of Cubs in the Sedro-Woolley Loggerodeo parade this year!  Below are only a few photos of the MANY grads who help make this parade amazing.  Lots of reunions were represented:  1963, 1973, 1983, 1993, and 2003.  An honored guest of the parade was Joe Nemo, at 100 years young, who rode in a 1927 Ford and waved to his many fans in the crowd.  We hope everyone has a GREAT reunion and we hope to see you all at the SWHS Alumni Association All-Class Picnic.  We KNOW we'll see Joe Nemo there!
