Letter to the Members

Dear Members,

After many years, three of our devoted members have decided to retire from managing

our Monday Night Beano. Ray Vachon, who has been t he main force along with

Mike Pendergrass (pull-tabs) and Roland Petrin will be done at the end of May.

Needless to say, they will all be missed.

HELP! HELP! is needed. We are looking for someone to step forward. Many

of our present Board Members already volunteer on Monday. We should not

expect them to carry the full burden of managing the Association. We are also

looking for at least four people to be on the Board of Directors for the coming

fiscal year.

IF BEANO CLOSES, PULL-TABS CLOSES. Without these two sources

of income, we will have to STOP SPONSORING ALL YOUTH TEAMS

plus the many donations we support.

Now is the time for you to STEP UP. This is YOUR ALUMNI. You can

contact any present Board Members if you wish to help this coming year.

Thank You,

Roger Tremblay,

Chairman

14th Annual Golf Tournament

The 14th Annual Golf Tournament is not far off. Saturday, June 16th at the

Dutch Elm Golf Course, Arundel , Maine. Each year 180 players gather to

play golf and have fun for a good cause. The cause, of course, is the St. Louis

Alumni Association and the Brother Richard Hebert Memorial Scholarship

Funds, which provide annual scholarships for graduating seniors from local area

high schools. The cost of the Tournament is $30.00 for Dutch Elm members,

and $60.00 for nonmembers. This includes green fees, prizes, coffee & donuts

(prior to start) and meal & beverages (in the Dutch Elm clubhouse). Applications

are available at Dutch Elm and Doc's Tavern, and must be received by the June 10

deadline.

Annual Meeting of the St. Louis Alumni Association -June 16, 2007

This year's Annual Meeting is an important one. Elections will be held to fill a

number of positions on the Board of Directors. Members must step up to ensure

continued Alumni support of local area youth organizations.

In addition to choosing new officers, we will hear all the financial reports including

moneys raised and donations made. Each year the Alumni contributes to support

groups such as the St. James Athletic program, area Little League teams, Girls'

softball teams, American Legion baseball and other area school events as well

as a number of scholarships.

The Annual Meeting is also a good time to see longtime friends and to socialize.

If you have never been to an Alumni meeting or even to our Hall, or if it's been

a while, this is a good time to come back. Mark your calendar and please come.

The meeting starts at 7:00.
