Money, fame and prizes?
This came today, another shameless pitch, from Tom Obert and Paul Donley:
Subject: Education Foundation
The die has been cast, the gauntlet has been dropped, the challenge has been issued . . . class warfare has begun!
The classes of '67 (probably the most numerically involved class locally), '77 (which includes national luminaries Tom Lehman, John Hammergren, and John Hawkes), and other "7's," no doubt, are having class reunions this summer. The Alexandria Area Education Foundation will take these opportunities to request donations from these alumni. We hope all alumni will become members of the 206 Club (a $206.00 contribution for School District 206).
We also hope that other classes scheduling local events, such as the class of '65 golf tourney, will take those opportunities to make donations to the EFoundation. With the goal to raise $1 million in five years, may the best class win!
p.s. On October 5, Homecoming, we will have the first annual Alexandria alumni, staff or faculty Hall of Fame dinner at Garden Center. (And yes, that is the book written by John C. Obert.)
p.p.s. As an older person, I forgot to mention that alumni may want to make a donation in honor of a favorite teacher - and challenge others to do the same!

Note from the trailboss:
As another older person, I am befuddled by the artwork Mr. Obert offered with his email and shown above. This still life looks cool and erudite, signifying educational pursuits, and that's the book by his liberal father. Now, can I actually win that telescope in a raffle or something or is that just the same one Tom uses to scope Lake Darling seeking out the prurient pleasures of old men?
Obert replies:
Thank you for publishing the EFoundation's shameless, though necessary, request for $$$$$$. The photo was the cub reporter's feeble attempt at something artsy-fartsy. It is suppose to represent the need for $$$$$ for education (book and telescope). Regarding my prurient interests, that telescope was too small to see all the way across Lake Darling - so a much larger one is on order.
