Bake Sale Results

It was to everyone's surprise that the profit from the Bake Sale was $508.50! We sold almost all of the Baked items AND hot dogs, got some donations and sold some of the other items. Thanks to Donna Key and Joe Cole for making donations, Thanks to class members Linda Wells, Francine Howell, Larry Gatewood, Donna Parks, Marty Renard,and Veda Crittenden for working on Saturday and Jenny Hamilton, Johnny Hickson(Pam) and Rick Rodery (Cheryl)for baking and sending things (Johnny decided to buy the brownies Pam baked and sent by him). Thanks to the others who helped: Susan Alexander, Marissa Howell, and Brenda Gatewood. Thanks goes to Patsy Loveless for the donation of the hot dogs and buns! We had people asking for them before we got started cooking! Please forgive me if you were there or helped and didn't get mention. This year we asked parents of scholarship recipients to help out. Thanks goe to Tammy Gordon, Karen Coomer, Cheryl Rodery, Pam Hickson, Suzy Morris, Mitzi Baker and Sherry Burris who I could not contact (have her cell number now)but came and purchased items on her own!!

Also thanks to Debbie Rhew for making a donation to the scholarship fund. .we can always count on her to send support!! If any others have sent donation. . .I will get those names and post them later, but thank you now!

The scholarship meeting will be on May 1, hopefully at Marty's house in Piggott! It will be posted later and everyone is invited and can give suggestions, but only the scholarhip committee members will be voting on the recipient/s.

BAKE SALE

Our Class will be having a Bake Sale on April 3 in conjuction with the Annual City-Wide Yard Sale. We will also be selling Hot Dogs, Soft Drinks, Candles, PHS Commenmorative Travel Mugs, and Handmade Dishrags. Hopefully enough money will be raised to have enough in our scholarship fund account to give scholarships this year. The scholarship fund will die without support for our class members and the community.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to those few of you who have made donations. . .we know that selling things is hard for some of you and your generousity is appreciated.

For any of you who want to make a contribution,please make it soon as we will have our Scholarship meeting to determine the recipient/s on May 1. Contact Marty Renard @573-718-0055 with any questions you may have.

Thank you for any contribution that you can make. Please help us help others.

Pamela Parrent nee Camp

These are from her 2 e-mails form Wed. a.m.:
"I have the shingles and they hurt like hell"
"Left stomach and back"

This is from the last e-mail that I received from Pam about 7:30 p.m. Wed. eve.

"Well I am still at the office but not for long the pain pill is looking pretty good now….this is worse than when I broke my back… I have had them a week today and they still hurt as bad as the 1st day. They are square like blisters in small and large sizes …they look just like the pictures if you google them… I guess getting old is going to try to get the best of me but I think that the reason I got them is because of the stress and worry about my mom…she has Alzheimer's and is trying to convince everyone that she is not sick….. so as to how long they will last I do not know..... got to get back to work my phone is ringing."

I believe that she would like to hear from all of you.
Her e-mail address is: Pamela.Parrent@gmacfs.com .

This is from an e-mail received Thursday a.m.:
"Jackie Pogue checks on my mother every day for me … at least, I can count on that …
...got to get back to work..."

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!
