Ridgeland High School Alumni Meeting Notes from- 8/29/24
We held an alumni meeting on Thursday, August 29th, with excitement and ideas. We plan to host the next meeting on the last Thursday, September 26th, at 6:30 p.m. at Ridgeland High School. Our goal is to have a recurring meeting on the last Thursday of every month except for holidays. Below are the discussion points.
• Create a new Alumni Registration form and Jennifer Morrison (c/o 00) will contact Rossville High Association for their form.
• Work with RHS so that the alumni can begin collecting 10.00 per year in alumni dues. The goal is to register 500 alumni this academic year.
• Research Cash App/Venmo set up for the RHS association.
• Locate the original by-laws, objectives, mission, registration forms, etc. of the Alumni Association from its establishment.
• Revive the RHS alumni scholarships for eligible graduating seniors.
• Obtain ideas for donations, sponsorship, and vendor support. Ideas discussed volunteer with Chattanooga Lookouts, Contact former alumni for donations & sponsorships.
• Concern about the lack of membership participation in meetings, the idea was to add a Zoom/virtual option for those interested but unable to attend in person.
• Elect new board members
• Ideas to host an All-class reunion at every Homecoming to include but not limited to tailgating. This would not take the place of the individual class reunions. Also, we discussed an all-class roll call at Homecoming before the game before the games.
Next meeting objectives:
• Bring the bi-laws and documentation from the Alumni Association artifacts.
• Have a registration form created and discussed for distribution.
• Create a table for the Alumni Association to set up at ball games for membership registrations.
Hope to see you at the next Alumni meeting!
