Thanks to Our Other Supporters

• Thanks to all of this year’s class reunion organizers including Jean Strnad Lazarus, Lynn LeGrand, Kris Coffey, Dick Beverly, Carol McWade, Desty Lorino, Lorie (Nankin) Wertheimer, Geri Berg, Jonathan Colburn, Natasha Kavalauskas Hernandez, and Eero Wasserman.  Each of these folks (and others) gave the Alumni Association, and more importantly, their respective classmates the opportunity to reunite and reconnect with Shorewood High School in 2015.  Thanks also to the Class of '65, which donated remaining reunion proceeds totaling $700 to the Watershed Wisdom program at SHS.  

• A HUGE THANK YOU is also in order to the Shorewood School District staff, particularly Ted Knight, Shorewood School District Advancement Director, and Katelin Watson, Communications Director, for assisting class reunion organizers plan their events, coordinating school tours, and overseeing the implementation of new software that will allow the Shorewood Alumni Association to better serve its members.

• Thanks to all alumni and friends who attended the All-Class Reunion & Family Gathering at Hubbard Park on July 11.  The large turnout provided alumni and friends from many different classes the opportunity to reconnect and reminisce about the "good old days."

• Special thanks to outgoing board members Bill Trost (Class of '53) and Desty Lorino (Class of '75) for their contributions to the Alumni Association over the past 5+ years.
