This JUST IN...

We are pleased to announce that our class was able to make a donation of $252 in memorium of our lost classmates, to the new Dillman Center at JFK (www.kennedyhs.org). Thanks for donating the night of our reunion. You can still make check donations sent directly to JFK. On the memo line, state "Class of '88 Memorium". We are waiting to hear from the school for updates on this construction project that will provide a new place for students to hang out in.

Also, directly from JFK...
Exciting News: all Kennedy Football regular season games will be broadcast live over the Internet beginning with this Saturday’s opening game at Qwest Field vs. Kentwood. This is reportedly a Seattle and Washington State first for a high school to stream live its entire season. You can tune into http://www.waldcast.net/ to hear the games. You will need to download Quick Time, which is available on the site, to be able to listen to the games. We have contracted with a seasoned California broadcaster, Ronnie Wald, who will handle the play by play this season. If you can’t attend the games, plan to tune in.
Qwest Field Game: The Lancers are playing in the Emerald City Kick Off Classic tomorrow, September 6th at 5:30pm vs. Kentwood. Prior to the game, from 3pm until 5pm, the Alumni Association is hosting a Pre Game gathering at the King Street Bar and Grill directly north of Qwest Field on King Street. The Alumni Association is providing beer, pizza, and pasta for all that attend. There is no charge for this event and the King Street B & G is family friendly. I hope to see a number of you there; the weather is supposed to be superb.
20 Year Football Reunion: If you played football or were associated with the program for one year or all four from day one until 1989, plan to join us September 20th before, during, and after the 1:30pm contest vs. Evergreen. The former players will assemble prior to the game, be recognized at half time, then head back to the School for a family oriented BBQ after the conclusion of the game. Additional info will be forthcoming from the Alumni Relations Office.
Mike Utley DAM2DAM Bike Ride: once again the Alumni Association is participating and entering a team in the DAM2DAM Bike Ride September 27th in Wenatchee. You can get information and register to ride at: www.mikeutley.org/biketour.html. There will be an Alumni Association booth at the Ride. When you register, register under the Kennedy Alumni name. All folks registered under that name will receive a Kennedy Alumni, Mike Utley DAM2DAM shirt.If you have any questions regarding any of these events, please contact myself (Jeff Crompe) or Gregg in the Alumni Office
