Have you paid your dues yet??? The LHS Alumni Association is the reason we have such a fantastic homecoming weekend and it depends solely on money received from dues/donations. By supporting your alumni association you are giving back to LHS through scholarships and donations made to the school. Your dues also cover the costs of mailing out the biannual newsletter and provide the opportunities to keep in contact with fellow alumni. If you have not paid your dues please consider sending them now. Yearly dues are $5.00 a year or a Lifetime membership is available for $50.00.  The Alumni Association also has a Century Club membership for S100.00. We can offer a payment plan to become a lifetime or Century Club member. We have records of all dues paid since the association was formed in 1969. If you wish to know how much you have paid in dues, send a self-address stamped envelope or e-mail us. Please fill out the form below and send it in with your dues.

Welcome fellow Wampus Cat Alumni, Plans are underway for another in a long succession of Alumni Weekends. This year we celebrate the graduates of the “9” years. Plans for those honored classes have begun in earnest.

Mark your calendars for Homecoming weekend, October 22-23, 2010!

Giving a memorial gift is an easy process. Send us a check in any amount you choose. Give us the name and class year of the deceased. Include the name and address of the person you wish to be notified of the donation. We will then send a card to the person you designate. The amount of the gift will not be mentioned but we will include your name and address. We will also send you a card, so you will know the check was received.

The LHS Alumni Association was pleased to present six scholarships at the annual Awards Day at Leesville High School.

 To all golf playing alumni...Please join us for the annual golf tournament at the Leesville City Golf Course. Format is a four-person scramble and your final scores really don’t count for much. We will have plenty of fun, food, door prizes and beverages....just ask anyone who played in the 2008 scramble. I promise you a fun morning of golf. We will tee off in shotgun style by 8:30 am. Entry fee is $35 per person and that includes your ticket for the BBQ dinner at the City Park adjacent to the golf course. Good times await you at this years alumni golf scramble. The entry form will be in the August newsletter and on the web site. For more info contact Rick Barnickel, golf chairman @ ad_guy1@yahoo.com or call after 5 pm 33-238-3938
