Can you believe it’s here? The current Board Members of the Association started talking about this evening two years back. In fact, they started working on this celebration back then. On June 15th, 2013, all the hard work of putting on this celebration will come together, as Alumni from across the country and California will make their way to the Veteran’s Memorial Building for an evening of Laughter, Good Food, and Memorabilia from 100 years of our beloved Fillmore (Union) High School.

The celebration starts at 3:00pm with “Social Time” in the Building, and Patio area. Inside, there will be beautiful Pictures hung of each Class starting with the first Graduating class of 1911. Did you know that the first class consisted of only 4 graduates? Mable D. Arthur, Mary E. Cummings, Sarah N. King, and Albert G. Wiklund.

Out on the Patio area you’ll be able to enjoy a cool drink and, and seek out that old friend from years past. Also, out on the Patio area will be Hors d’ oeuvres, (for the early arrivals) of Domestic and Imported Cheese Display with Crackers, and Garden Vegetable Display with Dip.

6:00pm brings us the Welcome, and Greetings, from a few Board members, and then it’s time to enjoy a wonderful dinner presented by DJ’s California Catering. The Menu:
Entrée: Wood Fired Prime Angus Tri Tip with Creamy Horseradish Sauce and Fresh Tomato Salsa. Rotisserie Grilled Chicken – Breast, Wing, Leg, and Thigh Pieces. Penne Mozzarella Pasta (Vegetarian). Tossed Garden Salad with Italian, and Ranch Dressing. Grilled Vegetable Medley. Assortment of Freshly Baked Rolls with Butter, and Fresh Tomato Salsa.
Beverage: Coffee, Decaffeinated Coffee, and Hot Tea Bar. Iced Water with Lemon.
Dessert: Drum Roll………………………………….Back by Popular Demand, Warm Peach, and Apple Cobblers with Vanilla Ice Cream.

After a wonderful dinner, we will have a short program with our guest speaker, The Chancellor from U.C. Merced, Dr. Dorothy Wilson Leland. She is a Fillmore High Graduate, from the Class of ’1966. We (Current Board members) could go on all night and talk, however, we realize that this special evening belongs to you. The great Folks who have supported the Organization for the past 100 years, and who have come from so far away to catch up with old friends, so rest of the evening is yours to enjoy through the night. Inside there will be music from the 1950’s, 60’s, and 70’s, and out on the Patio you’ll be able to continue your socializing, and reminiscing of the good old days at Fillmore (Union) High School.
