Greetings!

This is our new newsletter!  Hope you like it!  I wanted to try a new format and thought it would be fun to try this service so I did a trial run to 100 alumni to see how it worked.  In order to do a free trial, I could only send it to 100 people. I received very positive feedback from those that responded, so we decided to purchase a subscription to this service. It will be MUCH easier for me to use this method to send out news to all of our alumni!  As you can see from the varied print, I tried both black print and red print...which do you like better?  I am certainly interested in any feedback or suggestions for future content.

You are receiving this newsletter because you are listed in our Dreux AHS Alumni database as someone who attended Dreux, taught/worked at Dreux, or had good friends that attended Dreux! 

 


 
PayPalimage

DUES NEWS!!


You can now pay your DAHS Alumni Association dues by credit card!  We have had lots of alumni asking for this option, so now it's here.  We have set it up through PayPal.  You can pay for one year or multiple years, just as in the past.  Just go to our Dreux AHS website at www.dreuxalumni.org and click on the Dues/Directories button.  You will then see the PayPal box. You can still pay by check as well if you prefer that method.

As a perk of paying dues and supporting our efforts, you will receive via email a copy of the latest Dreux AHS Alumni Directory. It's now 94 pages! As always, we appreciate your support in paying dues!  It keeps this association going and helps fund the costs to find former classmates, maintain the database, website, newsletters, etc.  We can't do it without you!  So thanks!

We also have quite a few alumni that like to make a donation as well as pay dues or would just like to make a donation to support our efforts.  There is now a "Donate" button on the Dues page of the Dreux website that links to PayPal as well.



 
Dreux AHS Reunion 2013

When:   February 8-10, 2013
Where:  Orlando, Florida
 
Hotel:    Orlando World Center Marriott
             
  
Make Plans NOW to attend! 

Our Reunion organizers, Carol Hutto Krausman and Anne Childs Smith, were able to secure a $119/night + tax room rate per night at this beautiful resort hotel. That's a terrific rate for his hotel, as the rates are generally double that amount.  We still need to provide you with the group code in order to get the $119/night, so that will be available shortly.

The Reunion Registration fees have not been set yet.  We will keep you posted as that information becomes available.  You will also be able to pay your Reunion registration fee online using PayPal.

So start calling/emailing your former classmates and encourage them to come to the Reunion!

Be sure to check out our "Lost Alumni/Faculty" list on the Dreux website.  If you have any information regarding someone on the list (no matter how old, no matter how small), please forward that to Vicki Key .  You would be surprised how even the smallest clue can lead us to find another alum.
Come Join Us on Facebook!

In case you are not aware, we have a Dreux American High School Group page on Facebook with 469 members and growing.  It's been a lot of fun with former friends reconnecting, uploading photos from Dreux, and general discussion about the time spent at Dreux.  I have the group as a closed group so that only those people associated with Dreux can become members.  If you are interested in joining us, just use the "request to join" feature on that page.

Dreux American High School was open from 1960-1967.  The first graduating class was 1961.  The school closed in January of 1967. We have a very active alumni association.  There have been 6 major reunions over the past 17 years, the last being held in August of 2010 in Reston, VA.  We have found 1,200+ alumni, faculty and staff!
