Ahhh! Sunshine and warmer temperatures are here. I’m in heaven.

T-shirts, sweatshirts, coffee mugs and canvas tote bags will be for sale and can be pre-ordered for pickup. A shuttle bus will run from the Polo Grounds on Moore’s Lane to the park entrance, tentatively set for peak hours of 11 a.m. to noon and 3 to 4 and 7 to 8 p.m. Questions?

People have been asking how they can help with this reunion. Well, it would be appreciated if you brought salads and such to share and, of course, all monetary contributions to offset the cost will be gladly accepted. You can send a check payable to GHS All Class Reunion to Annemarie Heaney Chouinard, P.O. Box 828, Ridgely, MD 21660.
This is a shout-out to the Class of ’74! It’s been 40 years since you left the hallowed halls of GHS so try to make it to the reunion on July 19. There will be a tent for the class so bring beverages and snacks to share with your fellow classmates.

As every year, I’m truly amazed by our community’s generous support for its graduating senior class, which held its annual scholarship breakfast last Friday. The sheer number of scholarships awarded is astounding. On behalf of everyone, I’d like to say thank you to everyone who contributed. A special round of applause goes to Diane Peterson, who oversees the entire project. It’s an immense amount of work and she does a wonderful job orchestrating it all.
