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!

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 organization, 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 voting member of the Trustees, but retains all the rights as a member 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 members 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.,

scholarship is for $1000, and is renewable for 3 years, making the total
value of each award $4000. Scholarship recipients are selected in a name
blind process, based on a combination
of factors including academic performance, extra-curricular involvement, recommendations and financial
need. Winners are announced each
June. Last year’s recipients were:
