As we prepared to publish, print, and mail out our annual NBHS Alumni Association Newsletter, we are mindful of the great influence our Alumni Association has had in the past, and the potential we have for the future.
As a group we have awarded over 120 scholarships to graduating seniors. These students represents our future. Many of our alumni have made great accomplishments in their lives and careers. In turn, they have influenced others in a very positive manner, building on the future.
We have many alumni who sign up as members of the Alumni Association year after year, but we need Everyone to join the Alumni Association to help support our goals of awarding scholarships and recognizing Lifetime Achievements. Please take a few moments now to send in your membership. This year we have enclosed a self-addressed envelope for your convenience. Thank you for your support.
www.facebook.com/northbranchhighschoolalumniassociation will bring you to our Facebook page.
northbranchalumni.org is our Website. Here you’ll see lots of Association information and NB memorabilia, and back issues of the newsletter. Beware: searching for “NB Alumni” will bring up several commercial sites seeking to gather your names and sell you items. These have nothing to do with our local Association. If they ask you for a “lifetime” membership fee, you are on the wrong site. Be sure you go into our local Alumni site.
[email protected] is our email address. Send photos, reunion reports and ideas for newsletter articles. And of course, notify us of changes in your address.
Our mailing address is North Branch Alumni Association, Box 613, North Branch, MN 55056.
