Join Us Today !
We invite you to join hundreds of other East High Alumni in supporting the programs at dear old East High. The Alumni financially support East High School activities, sports and educational programs as well as provide college scholarships to graduating students. All of this is possible only as a result of your participation. There are currently two memberships available: our annual membership which costs $20.00/year or our Charter membership which costs $100.00/10 years ( a 50% savings). Both memberships will entitle you to receive a membership card, an Alumni Assoc. lapel pin and of course all membership costs are tax deductible as we are a registered 501 (c) (3). Further, you should know that all monies collected go to supporting the kids at East. The officers and staff of the Alumni Assoc. are not paid employees, but rather volunteers just trying to do the right thing by giving back some of what they got from their East High Experience.
Please join us in this worthy cause.

It’s raffle trime again! Every year, in February, the Alumni Assoc. sponsors a reverse raffle for the benefit of East High programs and scholarships. This year the date has been set on February 11. The reverse raffle will be at Guy’s Party Center on Waterloo Rd. Festivities kick off at 6:00PM when we start the open bar (top shelf stuff). Appetizers come out at 6:30, the sit down steak, chicken or vegetarian dinner will be served at 7:30. We will have a number of give aways, raffles, side boards and new this year, side board showdown, a little card game. The food is always great, the bar is top notch, and the action is fast and furious. Come and join us for a great evening of good food, drinks, fellowship and a chance to win lots of money. All proceeds go directly to funding all kinds of great things for East High kids. This event has sold out for the past 25 years, don’t wait, call and order your tickets right away.

At the Night at the Races, the winner of the Cancun Raffle was drawn. The winning ticket belonged to Betty Fallick, a 1965 EHS graduate. Now when she graduated in 1965, her name was Betty Calhoun. Betty and her husband will be going to Cancun in March of 2010. What a nice time to get away from the winter blahs and relax on the warm, white sands of the Caribbean. They will be staying at the Westin Regina, one of the nicest luxury condos on the beach. One week at this resort costs $3000.00, add another $900.00 in airfare and this prize has a total value of almost $4000.00. Not a bad return on a $5.00 ticket, eh?
How can we do that? It’s East High magic. Another 1965 EHS graduate, Mike Esakov, and his wife Jan, were kind enough to donate their week at this resort to the Alumni Assoc. so that we could raffle it off and raise money for dear old East High. Its the magic that comes from being a part of the “East High Experience.” I can’t explain it, but I can tell you that it is there in many EHS graduates. They loved their high school and now that they are in a position to help, they do. The East High Alumni Association is a vehicle through which Alumni contribute to the future. The Association supports the students and teachers at East in a myriad of ways including scholarships, program help, athletics etc. Its mission is to enrich the student experience at East High in any way that they can.
So who are the winners? Certainly the Fallicks, certainly the kids at East who will benefit from the proceeds of the raffle, and ultimately, all of us benefit in some way by providing a helping hand to the kids that represent the future of our community, our country, our world.
