Gentry Alumni Banquet

 

GENTRY – Another biennial reunion – the sixth alumni banquet – will be held at the Gentry High School Cafeteria at 6:30 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 30, 2008, with doors opening at 5:30 p.m.

Anyone who has been associated with the Gentry Public Schools is invited to attend the banquet.

The per-person cost will be $20. Reservations should be made by Aug. 1, 2008.

The alumni association urges alumni to contact classmates, teachers and others associated with Gentry Schools about the upcoming banquet and help keep mailing costs down, allowing the scholarship fund to continue to grow.

The association is encouraging individual classes to plan their reunions around the evening of Aug. 30, 2008, so that class members may visit with other friends and acquaintances they may not have seen in several years.

The Gentry Alumni Association was founded to honor all past Gentry Public School attendees and graduates by giving scholarships to Gentry High School seniors. The fund has provided numerous scholarships (using only the interest gained from the perpetual fund). The fund has grown with each banquet, allowing the association to increase its scholarship funding each year.

Those unable to attend the banquet but who wish to donate to the scholarship fund may send donations for the fund to Arvest Bank, P.O. Box 189, Gentry, AR 72734. All donations are tax deductible.

For more information, or to make banquet reservations, contact Lemuel Cripps, Class of ‘58, at 479-736-8574; Wanda Meyer, Class of ’68, at 479-736-8738 or (at her work) 479-549-1245.
