Tribune News – September 2008

From the TRA Alumni Association…

It is hard to believe that another school year has not only begun, but is now in full swing.  Just as TRA has many new and exciting things happening, the TRA Alumni Association has several new and exciting endeavors planned for this year. 

First, we would like to invite all TRA alumni and parents of TRA alumni to become members of the TRA Alumni Association.  We have re-vamped our levels of membership so that those who wish to make an additional donation to the Scholarship Fund will now be rewarded for their generosity.  Please visit the Alumni pages on TRA’s website to see details and download a copy of the membership form.  Or you may request a copy via email to traalumni@bellsouth.net.  Membership forms and dues will be collected through the month of September.  Your support is greatly appreciated!

We would also like to announce that we are kicking-off a new “Young Alumni Circle” this year and have exciting plans for this new group.  The YAC will target alumni who have graduated within the last ten years and will offer both social and service activities.  The dues for this group are much lower (starting at $10.00!) to encourage the young alumni to join.  A membership form for the Young Alumni Circle may also be found on the Alumni pages of TRA’s website.

The TRA Alumni Association Annual Meeting will be held on Friday, September 26th, 2008, at 6:00pm on the Softball Field Bleachers.  A tailgate party for both alumni and TRA families will begin at 5:30pm and will continue until the Football Homecoming game begins at 7:00pm.  The Booster Club will be selling hot burgers and dogs off of the grill, so bring your chairs and join us for the party.  All alumni families are invited to attend. Remember, if you are a member of the TRA Alumni Association you will receive free admission to the homecoming game.  Please mark your calendar and join us! 

We are currently working hard to remodel the Alumni pages on TRA’s website.  We hope that the changes to come will be well worth the wait.  Please visit the site soon to see what updates we have made.  

There are a limited number of 11”x17” prints of the old Rosemark School Building available for purchase for $25.00 each or notecards, 10 for $10.00. 

As always, if you would like to contact the TRA Alumni Association, please email traalumni@bellsouth.net or call 901-553-3199. 

 

Best wishes for the new school year,
