WYHS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 8, 2003 MEETING

As of the March 8, 2003 meeting, we will be starting an 18-month countdown to the All Class Reunion planned for the weekend of September 24, 2004, which is Homecoming Weekend.

We need to create a 'membership drive' now that most of the paperwork to form the legal corporation of the Association is completed.

Rachel Duvall will write an article on the WYHS Alumni Association and submit it to the Whitehall News for publication.

We also will need to start thinking about fundraising, as well. It was mentioned that many people leave legacies to associations in their wills. It was recommended that we encourage this, as well.

It was also recommended that we volunteer to assist other alumni with their events.

We will finalize the by-laws of the organization at the March 8, 2003 meeting and file with the Secretary of State, requesting non-profit status. Leo said the answer would be back in approximately 3 months. After we receive approval to be a non-profit corporation we can apply for the tax status, as well.

It was recommended that the Association enter a float in Whitehall's Fourth of July parade. Leo Knoblauch and Rachel Duvall are both members of WCCA and will already be committed for other events during the parade, so we would need volunteers to drive the vehicle and to walk with it to pass out information.

The next meeting was scheduled for 12:30 p.m. March 8, 2003 at Rooster's on Hamilton Road. It was decided to move it away from the community park to see if we could increase attendance.Respectfully submitted,

Rachel Duvall
