Our tradition of awarding scholarships to local youth is one of our proudest.
We are approaching the 40th anniversary of the graduation of the final St. Louis
Class. If we are to maintain our proud "dedication to youth" , we need to keep
a strong and youthful Alumni Association. this means we need new members.
We ask that all graduates and members encourage their sons and
grandsons to sign on with the St. Louis Alumni Association. Application for
membership is posted on the website ( http://www.stlouisalumni.net ) or are available at the Hall..

2010 - Our 70th Anniversary
We're looking for ideas to celebrate the 70th anniversary of our association. We want to
know what the members want to see -- a dinner? barbecue? anniversary mass? a field day?
Let us know of your ideas. Also were looking for any memorabilia you could loan us -
sports gear, articles, photos, etc.
*****************************************************************
Ministry of Wakes
Due to age and poor health of some of the members in the Ministry of Wakes, we are asking
others to step up to fill this important need. In case you don't know, the Ministry of Wakes is
a group of members who attend wakes of deceased members. It is a very comforting presence
to their families. Please consider this.

Looking for e-mail addresses
In our last newsletter we asked for an e-mail distribution list volunteer.
Roger Gobeil stepped up and has done a great job along with our webmaster, Bob Anastasoff.
Since then, we've gotten over 200 email addresses eliminating the costs associated with printing
and mailing that many newsletters. If you could receive a newsletter via e-mail please e-mail the
hall or Roger at gobe100@gmail.com or Bob at boba2000@aol.com
All the news and information, including all the meeting minutes can be found on our website.
