I'm a repatriated SHS Alum raising my children in Shorewood after being away for 20 years. Don't have family here but am the monkey in the middle - friends' parents are counselors, old friends are golden, and new friends refreshing. I'm a grad student, visual artist, and humorist. I plan to tell it like it is, from Shorewood to the surrounding areas. Inspirations are Gilda Radner's Roseanne Rosanna Danna, Jon Stewart and Suzanne Rosenblatt, whose blogs inspired me to write.
What: First Ever All Class SHS Alumni Reunion Picnic!
When: Saturday, July 11, 2009, from 10-6
RSVP NOT required - this is different from a typical reunion picnic. It's Low Key and Free!
Where: Lake Park, Site #2, Entrance at Locust and Lake Drive
Why the Late Notice: this came about spontaneously, from good women planning a simple picnic for the class of '85, and grew and grew and here it is! Creating History! [shhh here's a tip: NEXT YEAR: SECOND WEEKEND IN JULY is SHS REUNION WEEKEND...put it in your planners, kids, and find your dinks (or just get a new tshirt)! It's not just Circus Parade Weekend any more!]
How Much: Suggested donation of $5 to the SHS Alumni Association, dedicated to the support of Shorewood High School. Another thought -- Join the SHS Alumni Association for $20 and save $5 off entrance AND save $5 off the Tshirt, and get a free window cling! Membership dues are used to pay for printing and web maintenance, and the rest is contributed to savings for SHS for a planned endowment.
If you can't make the Picnic but would like a Tshirt or to Join the Alumni Association and show your support, here is a form to print out and mail with your payment. Order Form
What else? CAKE! One chocolate and one yellow, just for you and your family and friends, just for graduating when you did. Way to go!
What should I bring? Well - you'll need to bring along what you'd like to Eat and Drink, and maybe something to share. A grill? Some chairs? Plates/napkins? We're serious about it being not expensive, so we need to work together! It will be fun!
U rah rah rah, Shorewood Red and Grey
The school that's got the pep we'll say
We always show our true loyalty
and cheer you on to victory
U rah rah rah, Shorewood down the field
We know our team will never yield
So let them hear
How Shorewood High can cheer
and send them off with U rah rah, Rah rah rah, Team!
To gear up for the Picnic, brush up on the latest Alumni News by reading the SHS Alumni Association Newsletter, Connection, a perk for members who get a hard copy, too! Summer 2009 Newsletter
I hope everyone enjoys the picnic! I'll be there all day with the boxes of shirts and a guest book with room for each class to write notes to each other! We're planning to share then the comments grouped by alumni class and redo the Website soon. Have fun with that!
And stay in touch - join the new Listserve of the SHS Alumni Association located at www.shorewoodschools.org/alumni, or become a member of the ever-growing Facebook group at Shorewood High School Alumni Group and find out about Group-sponsored Events like this one!
I myself am looking forward to cramming for an Accounting test on Saturday, but I'll be there! Hopefully I'll be leading the Alumni Association towards providing fiscal assistance to the school while encouraging Comfort, Connection and Community for all alumni. I'm so proud to be a part of this wild ride! Best, Jenny, your faithful SHS Alumni President, local mom, artist, grad student, and yes, yes, Dave Banaszynski is the Police Chief.
