Ralston Alumni Association Update
On Friday, October 24, at 6:03 p.m., the Executive Board of the Ralston Alumni Association held a meeting at the Ralston City Hall meeting room. Members present included President Amy Funkhouser, Vice President Sherry McConnell, Secretary Cecilia McGuire, and Treasurer Lou Brock, along with guest Marilyn Moon.
President Funkhouser called the meeting to order. The board discussed the organization’s current lack of by-laws and reviewed a letter addressing potential irregularities in the previous election process. The board considered possible steps to ensure fairness and transparency moving forward.
After thoughtful discussion, the board unanimously voted to transition from a traditional four-member board structure (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer) to a four-member committee. This committee will divide responsibilities according to each member’s strengths.
During the meeting, Cecilia McGuire tendered her resignation due to personal reasons, which the committee respectfully accepted. Kyle Beavers was contacted by President Funkhouser and agreed to serve as the new committee member.
The committee further clarified that any former Ralston Public Schools student is eligible to serve, honoring the inclusive spirit established after the Ralston and Fairfax school consolidation. The committee also agreed that, in the case of a tie vote, the motion would not pass and would “die on the table.” All members present voted in favor.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:44 p.m.
We appreciate the continued support of our Ralston Alumni community as we move forward with integrity and shared purpose.
