The Honored Alumnus awards were presented to Greg McLain and Richard Schuhardt both members of the Class of 1970 for their contributions to their communities and society.
During the business meeting the 2009 Alumni Banquet minutes and 2009 Financial reports were reviewed. Alumni members were encouraged to submit email addresses to the committee. In an attempt to reduce expenses, some of the invitations for next year's banquet may be sent online. In addition a vote was taken to measure support for changing the location of next year's banquet. The vote revealed a majority of members in favor of moving the banquet to Elgin KC Hall. The committee will explore the options for the date of next year's banquet.
The banquet concluded with the school song led by the Class of 1970. After the banquet many people took advantage of the open house and toured the school.
