Contact Mr. Tanner at the Board Office for more information. Tickets can be purchased at the Board Office or from Kelly Tanner, Jackie Mollohan, and Lacy Pierson. Contact this group at clayalumni@gmail.com if interested in the raffle or in becoming a member of a group dedicated to mentoring Clay County High School students.

First Book is a nonprofit organization established to give children the opportunity to read and own their first new books. Clay County has received many books just for the kids to own and build their own libraries. It is so important for kids to establish a love for reading. Many Alumni work to provide books for Clay County children to take home as their own! Check out this public service message.

Congratulations to Carolyn Creswell Stock for beginning her 2nd year as President of the Clay-Widen Alumni Association! Carolyn has always been very active in the Alumni trying to raise money for scholarships. She and the Class of 1971 have been very instrumental in raising many, many $ to help send needy Clay County children to college.

We are working on a winter edition of the newsletter at this time. Please send us any news that you have. Class contacts that have recently had a class reunion are encouraged to send in news for your entire class. We are also in the process of sending out postcards to all members that are not active to try to get them to become active again!

In 2007, Nina Cook, Clay Class of 1954 in 2006 generously donated a hand-sewn blue & gold dutch boy/girl quilt for the Alumni to give away during the reunion. We will need new items for next summer and fall reunions, please keep it in mind.

The All School Reunion/Reception for Widen graduates and friends was on July 27, 2007 at the CCHS cafeteria. Watch for news about this event. Widen Day was also a success! There is always a short program with welcomes, news, and memorials at the Friday reception. Please plan to attend next year, last Friday and Saturday of July, 2008! Thanks to the Widen Committee for always sponsoring this event!

We are still trying to make plans for this year's Widen event for Alumni members. Remember, anyone can join. Any ideas? Contact Pat Blischak.
