FROM FHS ALUMNI PRESIDENT MR. BOB FOSTER;

Dear FHS Alumni and Friends,Our e-mail group now has over 600 members and growing. We hope to have an e-newsletter developed by late Spring 2009. In the meantime I will send out periodic e-mails to update you on Alumni issues. The main purpose of this e-mail is to announce to you that the 2008 Light-a-Light drive was the most successful one that we've had since 1985, our first year. We received a total of $15,895 from 657 donors. A tremendous response in these difficult times. We had 140 more donors than in 2007. The Class of 1948 had the largest number of donors and the Class of 1960 had the largest amount of money donated from a single class. On behalf of the FHS Alumni Board of Directors I want to sincerely thank all of you who donated to our only fundraiser of the year. I have posted a complete list of all the donors (by class) on the website (www.fairhavenalumni.org) if you care to see how your class compares to the other classes.
I also pledge to you that the FHS Alumni Board will use all of the funds to underwrite worthwhile programs and initiatives at Fairhaven High School. If you click on "Alumni Projects" on the website, you can read a summary of our new "Teacher Grant" program which will be largely funded by this year's Light-a-Light donations. One last item: the FHS Alumni Association is a totally volunteer operated organization made up of dedicated alumni who care about FHS and are motivated by their love for this unique school and are constantly motivated by the tremendous response that we get from alums across the nation. We have very little overhead, and 95% of the Light-a-Light donations go directly into programs and activities at Fairhaven High School

The guys out here in cyber space want to wish all our classmates, friends and family memebers a healthy, happy and prosperous new year for 2009! Thanking you all for your support and encouragement. YOU are the driving force behind all of this. Please if you have anything you want to share with classmates please contact us. Mike, Ken, Steve, Tom and Dave, anyone of us and we will share the memory with the rest our classmates. Stay well and be safe.....www.fshc76.com staff.

Hello FHS Alumni, Just wanted to let you know that we will be having an Open House for the newly renovated Room 7 at Fairhaven High School on Friday, October 10th from 6:00 - 7:30 PM. As many of know, about 9 months ago some serious cracks developed in the ceiling of Room 7 and much of the ceiling had to be replaced. The School Dept. used funds from the Rogers Trust Fund that they had accumulated over the past several years to hire qualified craftsmen to tackle the problem. The contractor did an outstanding job and the ceiling is once again absolutely beautiful. We hope that you can contact the alumni in your class to let them know about this upcoming Open House. We expect to have a great turnout. Thank you for your help. Bob Foster '66 President - FHS Alumni Association

Special thanks to Kathy Lopes! Wanted to thank Kathy for all her efforts in the assisting of a road race held in Westport (Ma.) for the Westport High school Athletic Department/Boosters. The proceeds are for the purchasing of a new Volley Ball net for the Mayflower League Champion Volley ball team. Kathy not only assisted in getting this race off the ground but also RAN in the race! Only FHS Class of 76 has this spirit! Kathy holds an annual race in Fairhaven as well, so please assist with our Kathy?s fund raising endeavor and go to www.jbrace.com to register and check the race out! Fantastic to see & talk to you Kath! - Dave

We are continuing working on the original FHS class of 76 movie clip; we decided to put up the beginning section of the clip which is up now. As time allows several of us are working on it (my youngest daughter as well) and really think we may have the finished clip available in September. Continue to check back at the portal (main page) for the movie clip. Thanking all of you who emailed about our short clip. Wonderful e-mail responses, thanks all! The Guys (& Kate).

The Staff is thinking of creating a page of classmates and our first vehicles, so, please, send in your scanned photos of you and your first car! We"ll do the rest. Fshc76 staff.

Some classmates and our friends have emailed us and we would like to make contact back however, we are unable to make contact with several of you beacuse you have SPAM filters on.

To all our classmates: From Tony Oliveira - class of 1958

Hope all is well with you and really impressed with what you've done with the 1976 web site. Also, wanted to let you know that there is a gathering for all and any FHS classmates and friends at the Highlander on Main Street in Acushnet on Friday night the 27th of June after the food tasting at the high school. The Highlander gathering is an informal gathering with a cash bar and you can bring any snacks or munchies you so desire. I can tell you that for the four years this gathering has taken place that it's been a good time for all so hopefully you and many of your classmates and friends will attend. My best to you and hopefully see you at the Highlander. Tony Oliveira
