2020 NBHS Alumni Dinner and Golf Canceled…….

We have donated scholarships annually since 2007 through the generous donations of Alumni and friends, as well as from the proceeds of the Annual Good Ole Summertime Golf Outing.
Hope to see you all in 2021
Thank you from the NBHS Alumni Committee: Jill, Tami, Sue, Don, JP
It is with regret that we announce the North Baltimore Area Chamber of Commerce will be canceling the Good Ole Summertime Festival for 2020.
We know you are focused on the here and now—and the new future. We share this mindset. While we wish we were in the final preparation mode for Good Ole Summertime Festival 2020, we are now diligently working on creating new channels to support and strengthen our community today.
In tandem with that, our team is envisioning the 2021 Good Old Summertime Festival to adapt to changing norms.
North Baltimore is a powerful, resilient community—a community that’s built on passion, that’s resourceful in the midst of change, and that supports one another.
We invite you to join us in any or all of the conversations and plans to connect and grow this festival for future years. You are always welcome to have a seat at this virtual table.
Stay well and stay strong as we prepare for the future.

The North Baltimore Alumni Association would like to thank everyone who helped with and attended the 2019 Alumni Banquet. Over 150 former classmates, teachers, spouses, and friends enjoyed dinner at the North Baltimore American Legion, visiting and catching up with classmates and friends.
The school crest that is still being used today was created by the Class of 1969, who celebrated their 50th year class reunion Saturday evening. Peg Trout represented the class and explained the meaning of the school crest and what each symbol represents. The class had previously raised funds and had planted eight trees on the north side of the middle/high school property in memory of deceased classmates. A check for another three trees and a plaque listing each 1969 graduate was presented to Superintendent Ryan Delaney. The plaque will hang in the hallway at NBHS.
Sierrah Johnson and Christina Morales
NB Alumni Association Scholarship checks in the amount of $750 were presented to Sierrah Johnson and Christina Morales, both recent 2019 NBHS graduates.
Thank you to Sam Bretz and the NB American Legion Post #539, Steve and Renee Gardner, Mary Lee Benedict, Voni Detamore, and Cathie Robinson, for helping set up for the dinner; and to Colleen Kaufman for preparing the dinner.

LOOKIN’ GOOD! (from Village Historian Bonnie Knaggs)
UPDATE – July 25 – Bonnie reports the $750 goal has been achieved! Thank you to all who donated!
Over half way to the goal of $750 for painting the Virginia Theater marquee.
Even though the goal of $750 has not been reached, it was decided to go ahead with the project so that it would be done before the 40th Good Ole Summertime Day this Saturday, July 27.
On the ladder is John Kruse, the painter, who is doing a super job of “bringing the marquee back to life.”
NB Village Historian Bonnie Knaggs and downtown business owner and promoter Roxie Emahiser, have taken on the funding with faith that the goal will be reached.
THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE DONATED TO THE PROJECT.
For more information, or to make a donation, call Roxie 419-889-8923 or Bonnie 419-257-7315. (photos by Bonnie)
