The President’s Corner….

Hello, everyone! This past year has been filled with many achievements by your Alumni Association. We are officially a 501 ( c ) 3 organization, which means donations are now tax deductible. To celebrate our new status, the Trustees launched a Capital Campaign with a goal to double our current endowment. We continue to increase our participation in many events: setting up booths at home football games for the third straight year, manning tables at Parent/Teacher conferences to promote awareness, marching in the Hampton Holiday Parade, bringing the very successful Young Alumni College Networking Fair to the high school, and sponsoring the Comedy Show fundraiser, featuring alumni Jon

Rineman, writer for Jimmy Fallon.

We look forward to attending upcoming events such as the MCJROTC Annual Awards Ceremony and Banquet May 19, and Community Oven Alumni Night June 8th. Please join us at the Annual General Meeting and Buffet at the Grill 28. The MCJROTC color guard will be present and alumni will serve and entertain you! We are always involved in new and exciting projects. Make sure to check out our website for the latest ventures at www.winnacunnetalumni.org.In closing, I would be remiss if I did not thank the tireless Board of Directors and officers—they are making things happen for you and all alumni of the HA and WHS Alumni Association. We would welcome your individual contribution as well. So, jump on board and get involved. There are many ways you can become

involved —large and small. Send us a note!

Looking forward to seeing you all again and hearing from you in the

upcoming year.

Warmest regards,

President Tracy Emerton Williams, WHS Class of 1981

A motion was made and approved to establish an Emeritus

Trustee status. In a non-profit organization, this would denote

perpetual status to an original or long time member of an organi-

zation, and acknowledge an individual who was a past officer or

member of the Board of Trustees who brought the organization

to new heights. Emeritus status in this case would not be a vot-

ing member of the Trustees, but retains all the rights as a mem-

ber of the HA/WHS Alumni Association, including invitations

to the Board meetings, and is retired from all duties associated

with the Board of Trustees and its Officers. Two Board mem-

bers were granted Emeritus status per vote at the April 20th

meeting:

Shirley Carter Class of 1945

Fred Rice Class of 1956

With due respect to their service.,

Donations can be made through our PO Box 81, North Hampton, NH, or us-
