The location will once again be at Martha Proulx's house since it worked out so well there. Please brings snacks to share.

•		Alumni Owned Businesses and Services Please check out the tab "Business Directory" on the left column of the home page. These businesses and services are owned by fellow alumni of BAHS and they would welcome the opportunity to win and obtain your patronage. Please give them first chance to address and fill your consumer needs.

•		On-Line Registration for Reunion When you click on the tab to the left labeled - "30th and 35th Year Reunion" - if you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, there is an on-line registration form that you can fill out for the seven class reunion that will be held next summer over the weekend of August 6 - 8, 2010. If you know you are going to be attending, Irequest that you take a minute to fill out the form and submit your registration. Thanks everyone.

•		Sign-Up Tabs Activated for Extra Activities Please look at the new "sign-up" tabs on the left column of the home page. You will be able to register for the Lions Club Lobster/Clam feed (alternate steak or chicken) and The Belfast Masker's Production of "Big River" (Huck Finn) on Friday afternoon, August 6, 2010, plus register for the offerings for Sunday morning, August 8, 2010. The prices are listed, or will be determined by how many sign-up. Also, current BAHS Art Teacher and Yearbook Adviser, Heidi O'Donnell has graciously agreed to create a 10-15 minute montage video for the seven class (1975 - 1981) reunion which will be shown during the variety show on Saturday evening, August 7, 2010. Heidi, along with volunteer students from The Photography Class, will produce a DVD highlighting the historical events that took place during the sixties and seventies, revisit the significant places in Belfast at that time of our youth, include the music of our era and of course, pictures starring members from the seven classes while walking the halls of BAHS (and dodging water buckets). After the variety show, Heidi and her students will have DVD's available for a suggested donation of $10-$15, which will benefit The BAHS Photography Class. If you think you would be interested in purchasing a montage video DVD for a keepsake to take home with you, please sign up so The Photography Class will have some idea of how many copies they should produce and have on hand.
