Fundraising Challenge - For All GIHS Reunions

   The Grand Island High School Class of 1976 is having a 35th reunion on Saturday, July 2nd. Alumnus Lee Zeplowitz has issued a challenge to fellow classmates to raise funds for the Grand Island Foundation for Education. At the 30th reunion Lee donated $1000 and the class matched it to raise $2000 for the foundation. This year he is donating $1000 and if the class matches it he will give an additional $100. If the class raises $1500 he will donate $250, and for an additional $2000, it will be $500!
The Grand Island Foundation is a great organization that gives money to teachers for classroom supplies that are not covered by tax dollars. Collect money at your reunion or make a donation of any leftover funds from your event.

   IsledeGrande.Com from its inception has been interested in promoting Grand Island. We host and maintain webpages for almost every group on Grand Island, posting news to their pages weekly. We want to Welcome Current Grand Island residents and residents from the Past to "ReUnion Central." This will be the home base, with links to All Graduating Classes and their News and ReUnion Pages. On each Class Page we want to link to photos from your yearbook and to a Special Page in our Guestbook, just for your Class. Check out the Class of 1967 Page, for an example. We gladly format each year's page with the same links. The more current the Guestbook Entries are, the less work it will be to organize your next Class Reunion and the more "Connected" your class will be. It is our pleasure to provide this service.
   Think of how much fun it will be to connect with classmates during years between reunions . . . . If you are interested in helping with your Class page, please feel free to Email Me, Reg Schopp, publisher of Isledegrande.com - Jodi Robinson is currently maintaining the IsledeGrande Webpage for the newly formed Grand Island Alumni Association.
   Please submit any news about your Class including reunion photos to Teddy Linenfelser, Grand Island's Town Historian and Editor of IsledeGrande.Com.
