Temple City Schools Golden Jubilee • 2004
Executive Committee Update from April 22 Meeting
The Executive Committee met April 22.  It was a very productive meeting. Topics included nomination of distinguished alumni, the awards luncheon, the raffle and fundraising.

50 Most Distinguished Alumni

Within a week, Rees and I will have an application in place for you to send to your classmates.  This application will be for submitting names for the 50 most distinguished alumni.   The big question seems to be criteria.  There are no requirements here.  When you submit a name, you will be asked to tell why, this alumni should be considered.  What has this person done to contribute to society? (See the announcement and nomination form elswhere in the site.)

Luncheon

I was hoping to have the reservation application in place for the luncheon by now.  I am now targeting the end of May at the latest. 

Fundraising

We need help to pull this event off!  We want to make this an event to remember for the rest of our lives!  With that in mind, we need money.  To give you an idea of what we are planning, we will have “Ronnie and the Classics.” This is a 50’s band that is well loved in the community.  They will require a stage and sound system.  We also need money for decorations, fireworks, etc. 

Cruise Raffle

If each person sent in $10 or $20 for a cruise raffle ticket, we would be in great shape.  We have the raffle on line, but they could send the money to me and I will immediately send out raffle tickets.  They are $10 each ($2 less than on line).  If each couple can send, $20, we will be doing great.

For those who would like to help, please make your $10 check out to “50 Year Celebration” and send to:
Ms.  Kathy Keithley
C/O Travel Store
11601 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90025

Please include the name of purchaser and a phone number. Raffle tickets will go out the day I receive the check.

Auction

We are going to set up some auctions on e-bay.  There will be a link from the event site directly to the item. We've had offers of a wrought iron lamp from the original Longden School!  What do you have that you could put on e-bay? Old uniforms, megaphones, programs from musicals, photos, etc.  Anything at all that you would be willing to donate that could help us raise money. Use our inquiry form to tell us what you would be willing to auction to help us.

Finally, if you would just like to donate money, we will accept it!  Checks should be made out to “50 Year Celebration”

Send your contribution to:
TCUSD 50th Anniversary
c/o Temple City Chamber of Commerce
9050 Las Tunas Drive
Temple City, CA 91780-1834

If we could raise $20,000, we would be dancing in the streets!  Ask your class to help make this the event we all want it to be.

Stay tuned
