Hi Alumni,

Have you heard the news? The Loara Saxons Marching Band has been selected by the Mayor of Anaheim to participate in the Washington D.C. Memorial Day Parade next year!! Great news and congratulations to our band director Scott Dominguez and the Loara Saxons Marching Band! Now for the hard part. The band will need to raise the funds to travel to Washington D.C. and the estimated cost is $120,000.00. I know it seems like a lot but remember how big the band is and how much it would cost to get just one person to Washington with airfare and hotel rooms.  The band will of course be doing their own fundraising and the school will be able to help some but this is an opportunity for Alumni from all years to step up and help these young Saxons.  Any amount you can donate will help to defray the cost of this trip and would be greatly appreciated by the band and Loara!

Mail your checks payable to Loara to:

Don't forget we have a fun event coming up, bowling at Linbrook Bowl on April 25th. See the details below. We need you to get your money in ASAP so we can reserve your lanes for you.  Click here and scroll down a little to reserve your spot.   

We also have some new events we are working on in the near future. A possible lunch at Tom's Farms in Corona and wine tasting in Temecula. We should have more details about times and dates in our May newsletter.

A large batch of membership renewals went out in the mail in February. I want to thank those Saxons who have renewed your membership. Every $20.00 does really help and we do appreciate your commitment. We can't give back to Loara without your help.

Last month the Loara Saxons Alumni Association donated $200.00 to the Loara Saxons softball team for their new outfield fence. Previously we have donated a lap top and funds to a field trip. The more Saxons who join us allow us to do these donations. As we grow so will the size of the donations!

Once again, if you have not joined the Association please consider doing so. It is only $20.00 per year. We have 1321 people on our Facebook group page. If every one of those signed up at just the $20.00 level that would give us and annual income of $26,420.00. However, only about 200 Saxons have joined so far. We are growing but slowly and we really need your help!

Best regards,

John
