TAA (Annual Reunion - 2 July 2016)
The festivities will begin with the annual meeting at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July
2 at the Thorp Public library basement, 401 South Conway Street. Enter through
the south door. All alumni are invited and encouraged to attend.
There will be two important items on the agenda at the annual meeting. The first
will be a proposed change to Article II - Purpose of the Revised By-Laws of the
Thorp Alumni Association, Inc. The second will be a proposed change of the day
future annual reunions will be held. We need you there to consider these changes
and vote.
Registration begins at 1 p.m. at the Quonset Hall located two miles east of
Thorp, just off County Road X. Come early and beat the rush! Register, view the
memorabilia, go about your day, and return at 4 p.m. for the social hour. The
family style dinner of roast chicken, dressing, and beef tips begins at 5 p.m.
with the program following.
This is the 42nd annual reunion of the Thorp Alumni Association, Inc. The TAA
Scholarship Fund was started in 1983. Since that time, over 100 graduating Thorp
high School seniors have been recipients of scholarships for their post-high
school education.
This year we are honored to have Brad Ceranski as out speaker. Brad, the Thorp
High School principal and coach of the 2016 WIAA Division 4 State Ladies
Softball Championship Team, will be our speaker for the evening. He will touch
on his team’s winning season as well as the TAA’s work. During the 2015-2016
school years, the TAA began sponsoring structured tours for the freshmen,
sophomore, and junior students of the School District of Thorp at three college
campuses.
In 2007, the TAA received non-profit status. The benefit of that status is that
donors may use their donation as a tax write-off when filing their income taxes.
You can also make the TAA beneficiary on a life insurance policy or your estate.
But any donation, large or small, will be appreciated by these young people as
they begin their post-high school education. We also encourage those people who
received a TAA scholarship in the past to consider making a donation to help
other young people.
Available are some old THS yearbooks for the low price of $5 each plus $6 for
shipping if necessary. Contact the TAA by email or phone if you have questions.
