Newsletter
A decision was made by the Garrett Alumni Association to only publish one newsletter per year. By making the change from two newsletters to one, we can avoid increasing the annual membership dues and continue to provide entertainment during the alumni weekend.
The April 2010 newsletter was mailed to all alumni on our mailing list. In subsequent years, however, a newsletter will be sent only to dues paying members. This will greatly reduce the amount of postage we spend each year. The annual membership will continue to be only $5.00 per year. So, if you wish to continue receiving the newsletter, you must send in your annual membership fee.
You can mail your dues to Garrett Schools Alumni Association along with your name, address and class year to: P.O. Box 55, Garrett, IN 46738 . Paying your dues every year will guarantee that you receive a spring newsletter.
The Garrett Schools Alumni Association officers and committee members work hard and enjoy planning alumni events every year. Hopefully, these changes will have a positive impact on the budget for the Garrett Schools Alumni Association.

ANNUAL HISTORICAL WALK AROUND GARRETT Thirty-two alumni, friends and family made the walk during the 2009 alumni weekend with Rocky DePaolo leading the way. The class of 1954 had the most representation, but there were also alumni from the class of 1948 to the class of 2000 present. Four generations of the Jim and Sharron (Andrews) Carroll family participated again last year. Last year's walk began at the Westside Park, continuing north on Ijams Street past the grotto then east on Keyser Street to Randolph Street, then south to Houston Street and back to the park. Along the way there was much Garrett history imparted along with the usual trivia questions. Everyone enjoyed more conversation and reminiscing along with cookies, iced tea and lemonade in the park at the conclusion of the walk. Refreshments were provided by Judy and Jim Rahrig, and Carolyn DePaolo. See you on the 2010 walk! |
