This year's Alumni Dinner promises to be both exciting and rewarding. The association will be awarding $69,000 in scholarships to graduating Fillmore High seniors. And celebrating their class reunions at this year's dinner will be the classes of '53, '58, '73, '78, '83, '88, and those youngsters from the class of 1998! Each of these classes will be in for a big surprise. The Alumni Board of Directors have a special set up for each reunion class at this year's dinner. The caterer for this year’s dinner is the ever popular and award winning DJ's California Caterers from Ventura. They have created another outstanding menu for our alumni and of course they will have their homemade peach and apple cobbler for dessert brought back by popular demand. (You know who you are.) We invite all alumni to come celebrate our Alma Mater and our community of Fillmore as we meet the 2018 Alumni Scholars. Remember, last year's dinner/dance was sold out the week of the event, so hurry and pay for your reservations now, especially if you are celebrating a class reunion this year. There will be plenty of music and dancing for the classes celebrating their reunions and a lot of catching up with past high school friends. Make your reservations now at www.fillmorehighalumni.com (click on the Events link at the top of the website) or you can walk into Patterson Hardware Store, (open 7 days a week) and pay for your reservations there. We look forward to seeing you all on Saturday June 9th; and to the class of 2018, welcome to your alumni family! |
