Scholarship/Reunion

It is time again to start planning for our annual scholarships. We have been generous the last 4 years and have given at least 3 scholarships per year. We have had success with our yard sale fundraiser, but have decided not to have one in the spring. The only other fund raiser that we have going is mug sales which will not pick up until the reunions this summer.
We are asking for contributions from class members this year so that we can continue helping graduating seniors of Piggott High School. Please send your contribution to Linda Wells, 14 CR 538, Greenway AR 72430 by April 15. We will decide who receives a scholarship on May 1 and will need to know how many we can give this year. Please consider giving generously.
We are planning an auction as a fund raiser during the reunion. Linda Wells has put together an AWESOME quilt that will be auctioned. We would like others to participate by donating items that can be auctioned. These items need to be brought to the tailgate party or given to a local classmate before that time. It is imperative that we have items that can be auctioned to raise scholarship monies.
The date of our reunion this year is Homecoming week end, October 8 -9. We are hoping to be able to participate in the Homecoming Parade before going to our Tailgate Party. Those of you who were there last year know that there was not enough time to visit with everyone. We will have an earlier starting time for the Tailgate Party this year!
We would like to have more classmates attending than 5 years ago. Please mark your calendars for October 8-9!
