Winter 2012 ( Monday, January 16, 2012 8:19:08 AM)
Winter is finally here, and it is time for the WSAA annual fundraiser. This year’s event is a twist on our previous reverse raffles. The WSAA Super Bowl Tailgate Party Chinese Auction will be held Saturday, February 4, 2012 at the Willoughby Hills Community Center. Doors open at 5:30 pm with Auction drawings beginning at 8:00 pm. Tickets for the event are only $10.00 and that includes $5.00 in raffle tickets. In addition to the 100 auction baskets, we will also have 50/50 raffles, eggs sales, and a football squares board. Squares for the football board are $5.00, with the winner of the final score of the Super Bowl game receiving $250.00. Remember to bring your own food and beverages. You can also support the High School Forum who will have concession stand items available. All proceeds from the concession stand will return to the Forum to support its worthwhile projects.
If you are unable to attend, please consider making a donation to the WSAA directly. You can use the donation button on the right or send a check to WSAA, P.O. Box 195, Wickliffe, OH 44092 and specify what the donation is for. Your generosity and commitment to the organization is always appreciated.
Tickets for the Auction are available here at the website or by contacting Lori Ondecko at ondeckol@yahoo.com or by phone at 440-364-0409. If you prefer, you can always contact any Board member to get your tickets.
The WSAA Board has been in discussion regarding a “Go Green” initiative. The creation, printing and mailing of 3 newsletters a year has an approximate cost of $10,000. We would like to send the newsletter out electronically to all members in the database. (The newsletter would also be available at the website). Our problem is that many of the addresses we have (e-mail and postal) are incorrect. Our website manager and membership chair are working on updating the database, but they need your help. Please update your profile now, and don’t forget to tell your friends.
We would like your feedback on this issue. This is your organization, and your input is important. Not only will this green decision make our group more environmentally friendly, but it will enable us to devote more money towards increased scholarships to help further the education of some deserving Wickliffe High School Seniors.
The next newsletter, Devil Doings, is scheduled for distribution on May 1, 2012. We welcome articles and news items from alumni. Please get this information to Donna Mikulandra (donnamikulandra@yahoo.com) by April 1, 2012. Get your creative juices flowing. We would like to hear from prior scholarship winners and find out what they are doing now, stories from Wickliffe High School sweethearts, and upcoming reunion events are just a few of the topics readers enjoy.
Don’t forget to check us out on Facebook, and I’ll see you on February 4th.
