 It was great to see more than 50 alumni participate in the Alumni Baseball and Volleyball Games on Easter Saturday.
Next up is our annual Golf Classic on June 24 - the only fundraiser sponsored by the Alumni Association. The tournament will be held at the Peninsula Golf and Country Club in San Mateo. Proceeds will benefit the Alumni Scholarship Fund. We are asking for full participation! Why not take the day off to play? Or, there are many ways to help us with sponsorship duties.

Hope to see you on the 24th! |
 Jason Moorhouse, a Coastside Fire Protection District firefighter/paramedic, earned the Peninsula Council of Lions Clubs Area Wide Valor Award. He was honored for his life-saving actions while on vacation near Mendocino National Forest.
Jason was at Clear Lake when he spotted smoke coming from a home. A man, who was trying to extinguish the fire with a garden hose, told Jason that his 84-year-old mother was inside. Jason ran in and saved the lady's life after finding her on the kitchen floor. Jason was honored at the 47th annual Peninsula Council of Lions Clubs Police and Firefighters Banquet. |

All Right Now Album Available for Purchase!
First time in CD Format
|
 In 1981, the Serra Band and Jazz Band recorded an album, "All Right Now" - yes, an actual vinyl record. The album is available for the first time in CD format. It has been re-mastered, and Jim Buss' cover art is in full color.
The 1981 groups featured some of the finest musicians in Serra's long history of good musicians - pianist Walt Bankovitch and Pete Neussman; saxophonists Vince Puccetti and twins David and Geoff Lee; drummers Bob Jenkins and Bob Cissna; vocalist Bob Carroll; and eventual Grammy Award winner, multi-instrumentalist Kevin Gilbert (who played bass in the Jazz Band that year).
If you were in one of the bands that appear on the recording and would like a complimentary copy, please contact Jay Jordan jjordan@serrahs.com. All others may purchase a copy for the low price of $5!
