The Brewer Exes’ Association held its annual business meeting last Thursday to mark the beginning of the Homecoming festivities. Every decade of graduates was represented at the meeting, from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. The only decade missing was the 2000’s, and the group present agreed that in time those younger exes will join as well.

Just the next evening during the Homecoming game several members of the classes of the 2000’s joined the organization and signed their name in the official exes’ book of membership. It was a historic date to see those 2000’s going into the book!

At the meeting, the group decided to organize a membership drive committee to help raise funds for the scholarships to be given out in May. The committee is comprised of Brewer Exes from each decade. Their goal is to get at least 100 members from each decade to join within the next few weeks. President Elect Frank Molinar is leading this group, and he has challenged them all to a competition that he believes will be won by the 80’s decade. Winners of the competition will be treated to a prize.

The group also voted to raise the membership dues from $5 to $10 per year starting at Homecoming 2009. These will still be some of the lowest dues of any organization of this type.

The members also voted to begin selling lifetime memberships for $100. Exes who purchase this membership will be given a Lifetime Membership Card and will never have to be reminded to pay their dues again.

Members also discussed allowing associate memberships to be offered to individuals who did not attend Brewer but would still like to support the Exes’ Association. However, this agenda item was tabled until next year after much discussion.

Also discussed at the meeting was the probability of moving the Exes’ social historically held on Saturday night after Homecoming to a new location. Members voted to allow the officers to look for another venue. The social has been held at the White Settlement VFW Hall for the past few years.

Other agenda items discussed included making better use of the website created by Raymond Forsythe. The web address is cfbrewerexes.org. Mr. Forsythe was present and addressed many questions about possible uses for the site. Many would like to see this site used as a database for names and addresses for all ex-Brewer students. This could greatly benefit reunion organizers in the future.

Brewer Ex-Student Association

The membership drive for 2008-2009 is in full swing for the Brewer Ex-Student Association, and there is a new twist to be considered. At the recent business meeting held during Homecoming week, lifetime memberships were approved.
Members of the association who are tired of renewing every year have the option to renew only one more time for $100, and they will then be considered lifetime members. All Lifetime members will receive a lifetime membership card and a Brewer Exes’ Association decal for their vehicle. These decals are also available for sale for $1.00 from any association officer.
A membership committee was formed with Rita Owens and Frank Molinar as co-chairpersons. Each decade will compete for prizes to recruit the most new members from the 50’s to the 2000’s decades. Angela Miller and Frank Molinar will represent the 80's decade on the committee, and they have called out all the other decades to try to match the members they will recruit from the 80’s decade.

Debbie McKinney will represent the 70's decade on the membership committee, Maxine Harrod, Fran Smith and Sandy Heizer will represent the 60’s; A.C. Hall and Jason Ferguson will recruit for the 90’s decade, and Sharon Blair will recruit for the 50's decade. The committee is currently seeking members for the 2000 decade to serve with them as well. Anyone who would like to do so can email the association president at cwposey@aol.com. Any ex-Brewer student who joins the association will help their decade in the contest. Dues and demographic information can be sent to the high school. (Please see the ad on page 6 of this paper for complete information.)
Although membership dues for this year remain at $5.00, the association voted to raise them to $10 for next year’s Homecoming. They also voted to allow Brewer exes who are 65 years of age or older to continue to pay $5 for their membership dues indefinitely.
As most everyone knows by now, money collected from memberships is used to fund a scholarship for a graduating Brewer senior each spring. The Exes’ Association decided to give two scholarships this spring in honor of 2 deceased Brewer graduates, Robert Vallejo and Paulene Hoover, from the classes of ‘98 and ‘68 respectively.
Students who wish to apply for the Exes’ Scholarships will be required to write an essay on a topic decided at the business meeting held before Homecoming this year.
The topic for the 2009 scholarships is “There is a rock song – ‘Be True to Your School.’ Describe how you, as a BHS Senior, are true to your school now and how you see yourself long after graduation still being ‘true to your school.’ Describe how you can continue to support your Alma Mater throughout your life.”
The Exes’ Association also decided to move the due date for the scholarship essay from April to March. The association moved the date in hopes recruiting more scholarship applicants.
