SPRING 2022 NEWSLETTER

Letter from GFSA President

Dear Alums,

I’m back! I thought my last letter would be my last, but that is not the case. I’m back for another year. I am also happy to report that most of the Board stayed with us for another year. We do have two new Board members that I would like to introduce. Dallas Long (’02) and Daren Richardson (’85) have agreed to serve on the GFSA Board. If you see or talk to one of them, let them know how much you appreciate them and their willingness to serve. That brings me to another topic. The organization’s membership is aging. Over the past several years we have not been able to attract the more recent graduates to join, much less serve on the Board. Unless we can find a way to get more alumni like Dallas, Daren, Cindy and Jennifer interested in serving on the Board, the organization may not be around in the years to come. Please talk to anyone you know that graduated from GHS especially those from the ‘80’s and forward to see if they are members and if they would be interested in serving the organization as a Board member or Associate Board member. Let’s all do our part to keep this great organization going strong into the future.

I am happy to announce that GFSA is taking part in a monthly community food drive. Beginning this March, we are donating our parking lot to help support the local food bank. There will be an 18-wheeler parked in our parking lot staffed by volunteers from local businesses, service clubs and some of our own Board members helping to hand out food to those in need. The organizers working with the Gladewater Chamber of Commerce are expecting about 300 cars to pass through each Tuesday the event is held. If you would like to help with this event, please contact a Board member or contact the Chamber for more details. This is not an all-day event. The hours will be between 10 am and 2 pm.

I think you can see from the length of this letter we have a lot going on in 2022, and oh, did I mention that the Class of ’72 is busy planning the All-School Reunion coming up on September 24th? Please get involved. We need your help; the organization needs your help. If you have not paid your dues for 2022, log on to the website or drop a check in the mail.

Thank you!

Your President for another year,

Larry Clemens
President of GFSA
