WHS Alumni Activities Committee

The WHS Alumni Activities Committee held their regular monthly meeting this past Monday at the Alumni Center. Committee President Kenny DeLauder presided. Toni Figley read the minutes of the previous meeting. Carmella Boyce gave the Treasurer's Report & Shirley Shanks reported on the Dinner Committee.

Members were reminded of the bake sale to be held tomorrow, Saturday, November 6. The sale will be held from 9 A.M. to 1 P.M. at the Center. Anyone with donations are asked to have their baked goods at the Center by 8:30 A.M. tomorrow. Proceeds from the sale will go toward maintenance & upkeep of the Alumni Center. You can call Carmelia Boyce at 330-532-1932 for more information. Chances on the Lottery Tree will be available at the sale.

Plans for the annual Christmas Party was announced. The dinner will be served by Connie's Corner. It will be served buffet style with the main entrees being either stuffed pork chops or Parmesan chicken. The Christmas Party will be held Monday, December 6 and the price is $11 per person. The WHS choral group Ebony & Ivory will perform musical selections for the entertainment. Reservations and ticket purchases are due by Monday, November 22 from any member of the Committee. There will be a tree trimming party Tuesday, November 23 at 6:30 P.M. All WHS alumni and friends are invited.

With more & more money being paid out for utilities and upkeep it was voted that anyone using the Center will have to pay the going rate for hall rental. Unless a prior agreement is made by the Committee there will not be any more reduced rental rates. The rates are $225 for the large Banquet Room, $75 for the Delauder Room & $275 for both. A deposit of $75 is required at the time a reservation is being made.

A nomination committee was set up for nomination and election of officers for next year. The committee is co-chaired by Carmelia Boyce & Shirley Shanks. Nominations will be voted on the monthly meeting in January and those elected will take office in February. Officers to be elected will be President, VP, Secretary, Treasurer and one Trustee.

Finally, the menu for the next "spaghetti" dinner has been switched. To raise money the Activities Committee usually serve spaghetti for their once a month dinners. The dinners are held the third Wednesday of the month at the Center. For November they are having a baked chicken dinner with parsley potatoes & salad special, instead of spaghetti. Dinners are priced at $9 for adults & $4 for children 12 & under. Next dinner is set for November 17 from 4 to 7 P.M.
