"Spirit of CHS" Scholarship!
On behalf of the Class of '61, Terry Hodges & Sandy Grady will present two $800 scholarships to one male and one female graduate in the CHS Class of 2012. Nominations will come from faculty and the Scholarship Committee of Terry, Sandy, Diane Neill, Betty Dawn Shaeffer and I will select the recipients by June 1. Funds come from the net proceeds of our 2011 Class Reunion donations, raffle & auction.
If you would like to help increase the amount of the scholarships, your donation of any amount before June 1 will be added to the gifts we present. Please send your check to me, payable to Sharon Esterley with "CHS Scholarship" in the Memo line. We'd love to get them up to $1,000 each!
We'll post photos & a story of our Scholarship students on the July website! For more information about our scholarship criteria, Click HERE.

Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) Centennial
Many of us were active in Scouting in Claremont. In a move designed to focus national attention on girls and the issues they face, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) has declared 2012 the Year of the Girl: a celebration of girls, recognition of their leadership potential, and a commitment to creating a coalition of like-minded organizations and individuals in support of balanced leadership in the workplace and in communities across the country.
GSUSA prepares to celebrate its centennial in 2012, using this important moment in its history to launch a major initiative to change the landscape for girls and young women. During the Year of the Girl, local Girl Scout offices nationwide will mix celebrations of the organization's 100 years as the premier leadership experience for girls with efforts to create a sense of urgency around girls' issues.
Click for more information: Girl Scouts
You are cordially invited to attend One Hundred, Fun Hundred, Girl Scouts of Northern California’s largest program event ever, and a celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouts, on May 5, 2012 in Pleasanton!

CLASS CHAT
Have you visited Class Chat yet? These are YOUR pages! It is a way for classmates to carry on open discussion on any topic, and we encourage your participation!
Note that there are several topics in each Forum, not just the first one you see. The 2nd column shows how many topics are posted in each one. Click on the Forum title to see all the postings in that category. This will also show the date of the last posting, so you can read updates in each topic.
To participate in any ongoing discussion, click “Reply” to post your comments or add your own photos! PLEASE DO NOT click "Post New Topic" unless you intend to start a completely new topic.
Remember that Class Chat postings are visible to everyone. Think of this as writing a letter to the Editor in a newspaper. Don't write anything that is too personal for everyone to read. To send a personal email or ask a question of a classmate, click on the classmate's name & go to the message box at the bottom of their page.
Do you have NEWS to share?
Tell us about your weddings, grandbabies, vacations, retirement, hobbies!!! Post all this on your personal profile (go to Profile Update in the left column) & a notice will be emailed to classmates who have chosen to follow your updates.
