Alumni Fundraiser Cruise To Bermuda
The Lake Clifton Alumni Association thanks all alumni who are traveling with us on our first cruise as a fundraiser to raise scholarship funds. Our cruise to Bermuda will occur this Saturday November 12, 2011. Alumni will be supporting our Ravens on Sunday as well as honoring our alma mata by wearing blue and gold for our special “Laker” activity on the ship.
LCAA Fundraisers For 2012 and 2013
As the fundraising committee meets and plans future fundraising events, we need your help. We would like to hold events that our alumni body and friends would support. What we need are your ideas of activities that you would support. Until we start to receive grants, our sources of revenue are memberships purchased, fundraisers and donations. Our fundraising goals are to hold the most cost efficient ventures that will maximize the funds raised so that we can continue to provide scholarship assistance, beautify our campus and cover our operating costs. Ideas submitted so far are:
1. Raffle
2. Trip to Disney (Florida)
3. Ski Trip
4. Trip to Foxwoods Resort (Connecticut)
5. Shopping Trip
6. Atlantic City Bus Trip
7. Prayer Breakfast
8. Gospel Festival
9. Cruise in 2013 (Destination is open)
10. Old School Dance
The LCAA is also researching hosting an all class reunion next year. Many class years have not had reunions due to various reasons and have expressed an interest in this type of venture. Seven years ago the LCAA hosted this type of event and it was supported by twelve different class years. This event is not meant to detract from any individualized graduating class reunion but to give classes an opportunity that may not be able to host their own class reunion due to cost factors. Many other schools such as City, Dunbar, Eastern, and Western are currently having them. The LCAA assists and patronizes all know class reunions as a way to continue to make the community aware that there is an organization in place to continue the history of Lake Clifton, Lake Clifton-Eastern, Doris Johnson, Heritage High and The Reach Partnership School at the Lake Clifton Campus.
Please take a minute and reply to any of the above ideas that you might support or send your suggestions of fundraiser’s that you would patronize or comments to our business manager Akkra Tucker at .
