TWO JULY EVENTS, HOSTED BY OSACA, A SUCCESS

The 2nd Annual Eagle Open Golf Outing, hosted by the Olivet Schools Alumni and Community Association, took place on July 19 at The Medalist golf course. Eddie Collins and Frank Palacios were co-chairs of the event. Despite the rain, over 100 golfers took part in the event. Profits from this event will go towards three identified goals: the purchase of a grand piano for the school auditorium, creation of a Veterans’ Wall of Honor, and an electric sign to announce school and community events. Thanks to all who helped that day and to The Medalist for their fine service.

All School Reunion

The All-School Reunion was held on July 20 at the high school cafeteria. Over seventy OHS alumni attended the annual potluck event. Pat Sheets was the chairperson for the reunion and was aided by fellow OSACA members. After the meal, Randy Van Dyke gave a presentation in the auditorium explaining plans for future growth of the schools. He also took those interested in seeing the school on a walking tour. Thanks go to all who helped make this year’s reunion a fun and successful event.

OSACA would be happy to hear your thoughts. If you have suggestions, please contact the group’s president, Sharon Powell at: 964-749-0000. These events are for you, your schools, and your community!

Mike Nelson, with daughter Jane, wins again! He represented the earliest OHS class.

Shirley Ripley and Darlene Ryor registered all who attended.
