Look Who's Coming to the Picnic 2013

Did you know you can pre-register to the Annual Alumni & Community Picnic? Check out who has already, and get your name on the list so others can see you're coming! We've had a lot of questions from members of the Class of 1965, Class of 1966, and others! We also need to make sure we've got enough Lakefront beer, and our caterer has enough delicious Angus burgers and veggie curry and rice for us all. If you pre-register, I'll personally come hug you at the picnic. Also you can pick up your tickets at the Will Call instead of standing in any ole line.

Check out Who's Signed up - updated within an hour of your registration!

Sock Hop, Anyone? Families, Friends, and Community - come hear what the BUZZ is about. Get over to School at 7:30pm - Come dance to Freddy Bliffert & the Greyhounds! That will be $5 at the door to benefit the Alumni Scholarship - come and bowl, too! The Alumni Scholarship is a $1,000 cash gift to a great graduating senior of Shorewood High School.

Water, Beer and snacks available in the Youth Center. There is a really cool book talk from 6-7 by Peter Roller and his new book, Milwaukee Garage Bands, that you won't want to miss!

Don't forget to support the Shorewood Pools and Swim Team in their effort to raise money for new equipment. Besides the Meet from 11-1, direct support can go right here to the Club, a 501c3 nonprofit charity: http://www.shorewoodswimclub.com/TUMoney.jsp?team=wissc

Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday, July 13, 2013!

Questions? Send 'em to shorewoodalumni@gmail.com

Excited to See Everyone!

Your SHS Alumni Board is working hard to bring you a wonderful day, Rain or Shine, on July 13th! Check out all the options on the July 13th Page!

ALERT: Alumniclass.com is NOT Shorewood High School Alumni Association

Dear gentle alumni,

It has come to our attention recently that many of you are likely being asked for money by an organization posing as the Shorewood High School Alumni Association. As your president, I would like to address this issue immediately. Do not confuse alumniclass.com with the nonprofit volunteer Shorewood High School Alumni Association located in Shorewood, Wisconsin. Do not "support" their "Alumni site." It is not a donation to the Shorewood effort. It is a for profit company that goes after every school in the country, copies their logos, scams members, and tricks thousands of people out of funds that would otherwise go to support the public schools.

It starts innocently enough. You go to alumniclass.com, you see Shorewood, and there are pictures of classmates there. So you join. What happens next is happening to many - the site starts tricking you into a "Lifetime Membership" which it then deducts from a credit card monthly, or takes as a sum.

This is not going to the school, nor to the actual alumni association. This is not a tax deductible donation. This is money you are now paying to alumniclass.com to continue to spam others to do the same. They falsely recognize free members as "fellow lifetime members."

While we work to battle this confusion, loss of revenue, and destructive company, please know we want to protect you. Don't send them money. If you'd like to donate to the school or the real alumni organization, the one that is run by volunteers and folds flyers at the Village Pub once in a while, who demands the red and grey on gear and holds the annual picnic (coming up July 13), then do. But do not confuse the two. We are not alumniclass.com.

Be well,
Jenny Steinman Heyden
