Tuesday - March 23: The WHS Alumni Activities Committee met Tuesday evening at the Alumni Center continuing to finalize plans for this year's All-Class Reunion. This group of dedicated alumni convinced us that they are determined to make this year's reunion the best ever. In an effort to keep as many people as possible informed of what to look forward to we're going to nib around the meetings to see what we can learn.
This year is going to be special with events honoring some distinguished WHS Alumni all being co-ordinated with the cooperation of everyone involved on the different committees. The induction of the newest candidates for the WHS Athletic Hall of Fame is Thursday evening, July 1. The Wellsville Elks Riverside Reunion have joined forces with the Activities Committee and will hold the Wellsville Legends induction ceremony on Friday evening, July 2, at the 4th Street Square.
The Wellsville Legends honored each year was created by members & friends of the Elks Lodge as part of their annual Riverside Reunion. It's a way to say thanks to some Wellsville dignitaries, past & present, that have contributed through their efforts to benefit the village. The Riverside Reunion is the brain child of Eric "hootch2" Shepherd as an Elks community activity to fill the void in the years between the All-Class Reunions. Started in 2006 it has grown each year since. This year those members & friends of the Elks have joined forces with the Alumni Activities Committee. Other than the Legend's ceremony and some videos hootch2 and the gang are putting together there will not be a Riverside Reunion this year.
Letters were being prepared Tuesday for mailing, seeking donations to help with the expenses incurred putting on this extravaganza. There will be entertainment available free to the public all four nights of the reunion. That's just one of the major expenses. Any donation will be gladly accepted and welcomed. Starting with the $50 to $199 range earns you membership in the Cub Club. Over $200 to $499 gets you membership in the Orange & Black Club and $500 or more gets you designated as an honored member of the Tiger Club. One very generous member of the WHS Class of 1945 has already made in into the Tiger Club.
Donations can be made payable to the Wellsville Alumni Reunion Fund and mailed to P.O. Box 194, Wellsville, OH 43968.
Posted above is the latest list of events being planned. The only questionable event is the Alumni Football Game scheduled for Friday evening. There are still some issues being considered before a final determination will be made.
We'll make every attempt to keep you up to date on all events for your traveling and scheduling plans. If there is anything you would like to see posted please comment on here or e-mail us at olenib@gmail.com. Many classes are planning individual parties for their graduating class. We are hoping to put together a list of those with dates, times and places to be posted later. The Class of 1955 is already planning an afternoon buffet get together at the EL Country Club for their class mates. Drop us a note if your individual class is making plans for something similar.
Next meeting for the Activities Committee is planned for Tuesday, April 19 at 6 P.M. at the Alumni Center. Pictured above is an old snap shot we found tucked away. It's Cris McNicol and Jim Sheppard accepting a donation for the WHS Alumni Scholarship Fund at the 1990 Reunion. You can right click on the schedule to enlarge. Left click if you want to print it.
It's a little over three months away when the WHS Alumni once again get together for the All-Class Reunion. It was the first in the area. Look forward to seeing all of "youens"....
