Dear Friends & Alumni of Woodlake Union High School

As we near the end of 2003, I would like to wish all of our friends and supporters a happy and healthy holiday season. As the season of generosity approaches, please remember how your contributions continue to support the excellence at Woodlake High. Without strong community involvement from folks like you, many of the accomplishments and achievements of the students at Woodlake High School would not be possible.

I would like to update you on some of the activities the WHS Foundation has been involved with recently:

* Our First Annual WHS Foundation Golf Tournament was a great success! We had a beautiful day for golf, and we successfully earned over $6200.00, which will be put to good use for the students at Woodlake High School.
* We continue to support performing arts programs, athletics, and academics: including special needs such as replacements of supplies as a result of theft.
* Career Day was again an even better event than the previous year with the students benefiting from the numerous volunteer professionals donating their time to meet with the students.

Sadly, we lost a very special community member and long time supporter of Woodlake High School, Gertrude "Trudy" Schuckert. A memorial scholarship was established in her name through the WHS Foundation. Trudy was a tremendous supporter of education and the needs of the students, and she was our most famous "gourd artist" donating her beautiful artwork each year for our Reverse Drawing Silent Auction. Trudy will be greatly missed, but you can remember her with a donation to the WHS Foundation memorial scholarship designated for her.

I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate Lloyd Hicks, a Woodlake alumni, and a former director of the WHS Foundation, for his appointment as Tulare County Superior Court Judge. We regretfully accepted his resignation as a director in order for him to proceed with his career.

Please consider a contribution of any amount and help support Woodlake High School. Just complete the contribution return form, and your tax-deductible gift can be returned in the envelope enclosed for your convenience. If you would like more information on long-term giving, such as putting the WHS Foundation in your will, please feel free to contact me or any other board member. Thank you for your continued support.
