F.H.S. 100th Alumni Association Dinner
By Mark Ortega — Wednesday, June 19th, 2013
What a great time we all had at the 100th Alumni dinner on Saturday, June 15th. The afternoon started out with a nice social hour on the Patio, and inside the Memorial Building where everyone was able to visit with old friends, and reminisce of the good old days at Fillmore High. The inside of the building was decked out with Pictures from our High School days that folks have not seen in years. Every single class starting back to 1911 had their pictures hung up along the walls, and Alumni members were picking out parents, grandparents, and Great Grandparents that were Alumni. As the dinner hour approached Alumni members were guided by Alumni Volunteers to the dining area out on the Memorial Buidling lawn, and seated. DJ’s California Catering provided a delicious dinner, and once again, it seemed like the Peach and Apple Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream was the big hit. After a short program, where the Chancellor from U.C. Merced spoke, (A Fillmore H.S. Grad ’66) it was time for the Alma Mater and then many folks stayed to visit for the rest of the evening. Some just relaxed under the Bistro lighting out on the Patio area, and other’s danced the night away to the fun music of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. The Alumni Association wishes to thank the following. DJ’s California Catering, Amigo Party Rental, Otto and Son’s, Don Vela outside DJ, Eddie Leighton Inside DJ, Tina Hurtado ’94 Floral Design, Quality Ag, and the numerous Volunteers who helped contribute to the success of the 100th. See you all next year! |
