APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL AID

SOCIAL COMMITTEE

The Social Committee shall arrange for social meetings of the Association and shall be responsible for refreshments served at meetings of the Association. The goal of the committee is to have the meetings take place in a cheerful and easily reached location.

HISTORICAL COMMITTEE

Although there is not standing an active Committee, in the past, the Historical Committee was responsible for oversight on all historical objects, documents and archives of the Alumnae Association. In 2003 the committee's activities included selling accumulated silver pieces, which netted over $1800.00, the amount which the committee recommended be applied to our Foundation pledge.

The Committee was also very active in providing to the Foundation a collection of SLHSON memorabilia-i.e. photos of the jukebox, portraits of Miss Carling and Miss Pise, needlepoint chairs and St. Luke's dolls beautifully outfitted by Lynn Warrell, Mary Knoll Edgar's sister.

WEBSITE COMMITTEE

The Website Committee serves under the direction of the Board of Directors. The goal of the website committee is to maintain the established Alumnae Association website with integrity and vision. The site serves as a conduit for ideas and information. The site is in the public domain and is available for public and alumnae use.

The Committee is seeking new members and is revising the website to reflect the current activities of the Alumnae Association.
